Bolton calls Seymour Hersh article "fiction"
Just got finished watching John Bolton's testimony before the House Comittee on Government Reform today, which was broadcast on C-SPAN. At one point, Dennis Kucinich pressed Bolton on whether the Bush Administration had already ordered some combat troops into Iran, as reported in a recent New Yorker article by Seymour Hersh. Bolton said he hadn't read the article. When Kucinich offered to provide Bolton with a copy of the piece, Bolton replied:
"I don't have time to read much fiction."

Typical Bolton and typical administration doubletalk. Bolton is a complete pr*ck who never should've gotten that job in the first place. Unfortunately, the Democrats were too afraid to stand up and fight the nomination.
So I'm assuming Bolton never actually answered the question about whether we already have troops on the ground in Iran.
