Speaking today during a visit to the Czech Republic, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed the prospects of next week’s Baghdad summit securing any deal with Iran, saying there was “no evidence” Iran was serious about the talks.
Netanyahu might not be privy to all of the details in the negotiations, but several diplomats have suggested that there is a very real possibility that a settlement could be reached soon with Iran, and some details (like a uranium for fuel rods swap) have been floating around publicly for over a week.
And while Netanyahu told his Czech counterpart that “nothing would be better” than a settlement, that seems virtually the opposite of recent reports in the Israeli press, which say that a decision to start a war has already been made and that Israeli officials are extremely concerned that the Baghdad summit could lead to a deal and ruin their plans.
The Obama Administration has been similarly ambivalent about the P5+1 talks in public comments, responding to reports of European optimism with threats of more sanctions and even comments from US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro that an attack was “ready” to be launched at any time.
What does netenyahoo even know? That lunatic has declared war on peace, his aim is to destroy the Arab world and the Western world. Next to him, Ahmadinejad is a scholar and a gentleman.
What is that warmonger doing in the Czech republic and why would anybody receive this criminal?
I have my serious doubts about this country now
I find it interesting that the major drop in European and USA stock markets have happened after the increase economic attacks on Iran. The disaster of facebook yesterday which so pushed along with the huge loses of JP MOrgan tells me that we are in deep economic trouble and maybe the idiot leaders need a "good" war to get people to think differently.
Israel has fighter jets in the Sudan which is the head waters of the nile and Israel has its eye on Lebanon and the Latavi river. Israel being in a desert needs water and they wasted the vast amount stolen in the 1967 war of aggression.
It will be interesting to see what they do and I sure hope that bibi gets the chance to put on his old uniform and lead the attack on Iran. I full support and I would throw in a couple bucks to transport the old wind bag to lead the charge but that is not the Israel way. They will get our kids killed while their children are on the beach enjoying the beach and complaining about something.
If the children of those who authorize war were drafted immediately to serve in the war, we all might have better out-comes.
I suspect that If the children of those that start the wars were put in danger you would find a lot less wars being started. As long as our elected congressmen and senators can start wars and not even have a son in the fight is a major reason why we are in so many conflicts.
Congress and the senate have passed a law that a person in the congress or senate cannot be called to active duty while in office. Sen Lindsay Graham of south carolina is a Lt Col in the reserve and has been since his days as one of the 12 angry congressmen looking into Bills blowjob instead of looking in ways to make the middle east a better place. Why would they alllow a person to stay 20 years in the reserves if he could not be called to active duty? I guess the same logic of giving a first term congressman a pension for holding a job that you do not wan him to hold in two years.
The soldiers who get paid for war are called mercenaries. I know of no other country that does that. On the other hand, those who are drafted to fight for their country may be called heros.
Netanyahu is liken to Mussolini, or even Hitler. His socipathic nationalisitc worldview could very well end Israel.
Israel has no credentials to speak on any matter pertaining to any nation's nuclear program, civil or military, and will have none until they agree to the same protocols they insist all others follow. If anyone allows Israel to have a voice, direct or indirect, in any talks on nuclear issues they are guilty of hypocrisy in the highest degree and are without honor.
The talks haven’t even started yet, so what evidence is there to decide whether any of the parties involved are not going to be serious? He must have got the evidence from where the sun doesn’t touch him!
How long has nuts and yahoo been in power anyways?
