Diplomacy or war? Officials continue to insist there is virtual consensus between the United States and Israel on Iran, but it’s increasingly clear there is a major divide, and an increasingly public one.
Netanyahu’s repeated condemnations on diplomacy in general have led Secretary of State John Kerry to insist that Netanyahu wasn’t involved in the talks and doesn’t have any real details about the deal that was about to be made, adding that the US is “not blind and I don’t think we’re stupid.”
Netanyahu took issue with the comments in his latest speech, insisting that he has secret access to all the details of all the closed door diplomacy that took place in Geneva, and knew the US was plotting to let Iran keep its civilian nuclear program with all its current capabilities.
While the whole issue was temporarily rendered moot by the French government killing the talks for an unrelated Saudi arms sale, Netanyahu has set the stage for a major lobbying campaign against diplomacy, and is positioning the Obama Administration as their opponents for being at least conceivably open to reaching a deal with Iran.
Diplomacy or war? Israel is all for war, as usual, and all for the United States fighting it for them. One would hope that the congresspeople lobbying against any sort of deal with Iran realize that they're actualy arguing for an American invasion of Iran on behalf of Israel. Because that's the only alternative to a deal.
One would also hope their voters would notice.
"…that he has secret access to all the details of all the closed door diplomacy…"
So, if true (not that Netanyahoo has never, ever fabricated his capabilities, of course) then the Israelis have bugged the venue, or one of the participants (France?) has Bibi on speed dial.
Bibi wouldn't be bugging Barry's phone, now would he?
Once again Obama as the so-called leader of America demonstrates the country has no balls, let alone a d**k. Sad to say America is a cowardly country, subject to coercion and intimidation by an out of control 'ally'.
