Boehner 'shocked' and 'baffled' by report Israel spied on US talks with Iran
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Tuesday, March 24, 2015 | Michael Wilner

Speaker of the House says he received no information from Israel on nuclear talks as was suggested in 'Wall Street Journal' report.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Tuesday that he was "shocked" and "baffled" by a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday morning that claimed Israel had spied on US nuclear talks with Iran, collecting information that was used to lobby him and his colleagues in Congress to drum up opposition to an emerging nuclear deal.

"I'm not sure what the information was, but I'm baffled by it," Boehner told reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

"No information [was] revealed to me whatsoever," he added.

Love Mossad. If I thought the US president was conspiring with an enemy to destroy my country, I’d spy too.

Perhaps the Obama administration lied. Rather odd lie, since they admitted the US was spying on Israel. Or were they. If, as they contended they intercepted calls to Congressmen, they were spying on Congress.

The State Department in mid-February admitted it wasn't sharing certain info on the talks with Israel:

"'I think it is safe to say not everything you are hearing from the Israeli government is an accurate reflection of the details of the talks,”' said Psaki, who acknowledged that the State Department is withholding some details from the Israelis out of concern they will share them more broadly."

So in February, the White Hut is saying that Israel's statements on the talks weren't accurate. Now, a month later...after Bibi has won re-election, the White Hut is saying Israel spied on the talks and shared the info with Congress. They don't seem to be able to keep their stories straight. What else is new.

"I have noticed that most things Obama tries fail. His whole presidency is a failure. "

He's stuck on stupid.

On what grounds?

I know he can't but making point that Obama is actively stalking Netanyahu, trying repeatedly to hurt him.

If the Mossad wasn't “spying” on the Iran negotiations, they wouldn't doing their job.

The very lives of Israelis depend on shutting down Iran's nuclear facilities. Mossad has been all over Iran, snooping and also taking action for years. Key scientists were killed in car bombs. I'm sure the Mossad did those as only key scientists were killed.

One time, they sent new big urns to replace the ones at a nuclear facility, just outside the front door. There were listening devices in those urns. The Iranians thought these urns came from their government and did not question the placing of these new urns. It was a long time before these transmitters were found.

In the same vein, they sent new cooking implements, like new pots that held coffee or tea or whatever they drink in a mass hall kind of environment and those had listening devices in them. Again, it took a long time for Iranians to find out these implements were transmitting everything they said.

Large explosions happened several times at some of their above and below ground nuclear facilities. I expect Mossad did those, too.

On purpose, I have read every word for years when something would happen in Iran regarding their scientists and facilities. I would know Mossad was on the job. If I was kidnapped by an enemy, I would want Mossad coming to get me, rather than our country's CIA and NEVER our state department. :o)

Mossad’s present motto is: “Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” (Taken from Proverbs 11:14)

If true, What does it say about Obummer’s negotiators to prevent leaks? The leaks did not come from Iran!

There's a lot of evil in that part of the world, and Israel lets loose the Mossad to do it. My first really big impression of what they do came after the Munich Olympics and Black September's demise. We spy on our "friends" all the time too. Big Deal.

Well, according to Israel, it came from Iran, not the USA. See Post #11 ...

I hope and pray that Israel/Netanyahu ARE spying on everything Hussein does. Bibi loves America more than our own president does; maybe we should hope that he might be our “small-s savior”. God knows we can’t count on our own politicians to do the right thing.

God works in mysterious ways. Jews are His chosen people. America used to be blessed because of our Christian foundations. Who knows what dynamics God could coordinate to create a win-win for all the “good guys”, i.e., Christians and Jews.

Well of course...Israel would be foolish to admit it came from them.

The point is there was no Israel gov’t in the talks.
It was Iran + Obama.

Sorry, but you’re telling me to “believe Obama” ... who says it’s Israel.

INSTEAD, I’ll say that Obama is lying like he always does, and “believe Israel” ... who says they didn’t spy on the USA!

Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany are principals in the nuke talks, plus the Munich Security Conference has 50 or so big wheels of one sort or another. The White House doesn’t have a clue.

And why wouldn’t Israel? Iran certainly, but also the USA with Obama are dangerous to their national security. We are not at this time their friends. What we are doing with Iran is something they very much need to keep track of.

They theoretically could, except for the fact that they say they didn’t!!
