Senior Obama administration official reportedly calls Netanyahu chicken (bleep) [coward too]
Jerusalem Post ^ | October 28, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Netanyahu goes toe-to-toe with US, EU over criticism ... Share on Facebook Twitter Google Plus

Report in The Atlantic quotes two officials who question the PM's ability to act on either the peace process or the Iranian nuclear issue.

The administration of US President Barack Obama has expressed its displeasure over Israel's recent announcement that it would be building more housing units in east Jerusalem, but now reported name-calling directed at Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can be added to the tensions between the two allies.

Jeffrey Goldberg, diplomatic correspondent for The Atlantic, reported Tuesday that he recently spoke to a senior Obama administration official about, "the foreign leader who seems to frustrate the White House and the State Department the most." The unnamed official reportedly told Goldberg: “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit.”

“The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” the official said.

“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 only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts.”

Goldberg quoted another official who reportedly agreed with the first official's assessment but added that Netanyahu was also a "coward" on the Iranian nuclear threat issue.

The second official reportedly told Goldberg that the "Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities."

“It’s too late for him to do anything. Two, three years ago, this was a possibility. But ultimately he couldn’t bring himself to pull the trigger. Now it’s too late.”

“The feeling now is that Bibi’s bluffing,” the second official reportedly added.

That’s about all one gets from the Obama Admininstration - unattributed high school slurs

Netanyahu saw the same thing every other foreign leader has seen. Obama is a weakling, cares only about public optics and US political spin, and can be ignored without consequence.

Talk about projection. He couldn't describe Obama or Democrats in general any clearer. BTW - I think he is wrong and his inflamatory words are dangerous.

Obviously they have irreconcilable differences. The best thing is to let Bibi and opansey literally step into a ring and bareknuckle it out until they have an understanding.

Whatever. In the end, Israel will remain standing. Her opponents will not remain standing.

Predictable—Obamatullah trying to goad Israel into a headline and broadcast monopolizing war in Israel.

Well, Clinton did the same thing in the stained blue dress war in Serbia.

The sheer venality of these scum no longer shocks anyone.

God has Israel’s back, who has yours Obama bin Laden?

The hostages at Entebbe didn’t consider BiBi’s brother to be a chickenshit.

I wonder if the Obama officials insulting him were the ones who forced Israel to end the blockade of Gaza. I wound if they were the Administration officials who provided U.S. taxpayer funded humanitarian aid to Hamas which was used to build tunnels and weapons to kill Israelis.

I wonder they supported the Muslim Brotherhood and funded and armed the “moderates” who became ISIS.
