Defense Secretary Leon Panetta refused to dispute or comment on a recent column reporting that he thinks Israel could attack Iran within the next few months.
“I’m not going to comment on that,” Panetta replied when asked about a column in the Washington Post. “David Ignatius, you know, can write what he will but, you know, with regards to what I think and what I view, I consider that to be an area that belongs to me and nobody else.”
Asked if he was “disputing” Ignatius’ column, Panetta said “No, I’m just not commenting.”
