"Quid pro quo" - Bolton: Iran, Hezbollah Off Terror List as Concession in Nuke Talks

"Quid pro quo" - Bolton: Iran, Hezbollah Off Terror List as Concession in Nuke Talks. (NM).

Fox News Channel reported Tuesday that the office of National Intelligence Director James Clapper blamed the omission on a formatting change in the way the document is printed.

Fox's Greta Van Susteren called it "a little bit insane that they changed the format and suddenly the two worst terrorists, Iran and Hezbollah, disappear."

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said the omission may be tied to nuclear negotiations currently underway between the United States and Iran.

"The people who would say this is a format change are weasels," Bolton said on Fox News Channel's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."

"It's a flat lie. The format of this year's report is exactly the same as last year's report. Don't believe me? Go look on the web. Compare the two of them. It's exactly the same."

Bolton said he believes the Iranian negotiators told the American negotiators they have to ease up on labeling the country the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

Bolton said he doesn't believe the details of the arrangement will show up in the final nuclear deal, which is troubling, he said, because it raises questions of what other concessions might have been made, but will never be made public.Hmmmm.....'YES WE LIE". Read the full story here.
