Now why in the world would anybody get the idea that the man who imbibed Islamic Jew-hatred in his Quran classes as a boy in Indonesia is incendiarily anti-Semitic?:
Add another item to the list of insults officials in the Obama administration have lobbed at Benjamin Netanyahu.
A senior Obama administration official recently described the Israeli prime minister as “chickenshit,” according to Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic.
Let's talk about presidential dignity and decorum for a moment. We know that many, if not most, POTUS's make generous use of "salty" language - remember the furor that erupted during the 2000 campaign when George W. Bush called New York Times columnist a "major league asshole" near an open mic? Some even engage in "salty" actions, like LBJ (from whom the term "johnson" was undoubtedly derived) pissing in the White House Rose Garden and then on a member of his Secret Service detail. And JFK's and Bill Clinton's....need I go on?
The difference is, before #44, they didn't intentionally do so publicly. Much less in direct reference to what had been, until the last six years, a close ally. It's not at all surprising that Barack Obama and his ilk are contemptuous of Prime Minister Netanyahu - or "the Jewish Republican," as they also doubtlessly refer to him - but if you're in the White House, it's not something to which you give utterance. Or at least, it's not supposed to be.
"Chickenshit," is, however, only the latest addition to their list:
The list also includes descriptions such as “recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and ‘Aspergery,’ ” according to Goldberg.
Don't mince words, Barry, what do you really think?
“The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” the official told Goldberg, explaining the meaning behind calling the leader of an ally a “chickenshit.”
Says the "official" about the Sayeret Matkal commando, a military Colonel, and pugilistic leader who went toe-to-toe with The One and the E.U. over their condemnations of the Israelis building in their own capital. And who will, indeed, pre-empt an Iranian nuclear attack, unlike the coward who has already "launched wars" in Libya and Iraq, to the common benefit of jihadists.
Obama "officials" really don't grasp their own ironies, do they?
“The bad thing about him is that he won’t do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states,” the official said.
I.e. surrender to Hamas and Fatah. Israeli leaders have been "doing anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians" for twenty five years, only to be rewarded with intifadas, suicide bomber attacks, and a daily rain of missiles from the Gaza Strip from with they withdrew in the interests of the "peace" process. If this "official" keeps this up, I may have some "salty" language of my own to contribute to this "dialogue".
“The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat.
Obama "officials" really don't grasp their own....oh, never mind.
He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts.”
Rabin was a fool, Sharon a senile traitor, and Begin....Menachem Begin was the Benjamin Netanyahu of his generation, a freedom fighter in Israel's War of Independence. These Obama "officials" are as ignorant of history as they are ignorant of the true meaning of the term "guts".
A separate official told Goldberg that the administration believes Netanyahu to be a “coward” on the issue of Iran’s nuclear threat, no longer believing he would ever launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities…
Translation: "He better not launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, or we'll have to return the favor on behalf of our friends in Tehran."
How do you say "Kiss my ass, Barry" in Hebrew? Shak Li Batahat (לנשק לי את התחת)? Thanks!
