Bibi doesn’t play. The only true man who is a head of state in the West.
Runs circles around the Clown, Cameron, Hollande, Merkel, etc.
Maybe. But here's what I posted on another thread. It's worth reading. (And I give you permission to "flame away")

From all I've read this seems to be a war (or whatever) that Netanyahu didn't want and didn't plan on.
Netanyahu was (rightfully) angry with the unity pact with Hamas and Abbas...and the reaction to it from the Western governments.
I'm of the opinion that Netanyahu saw an opportunity to do damage to Hamas "using" the kidnapping of the three teenagers as "cover". All was going his way until the search went a little over the top with the bulldozing of houses, roundups and arrests and the shooting deaths of six Palestinian teenagers.
I also think this was the trigger for Hamas firing rockets into Israel. There was "calm" for two years, and I don't think Hamas woke up one morning and decided to piss off the giant on its border.
Initially Netanyahu called for restraint against Hamas and was applauded for his calm leadership by Western governments.
Then Lieberman bolted the coalition because Netanyahu wasn't taking on Hamas. This move left Likud with a one seat majority and set the stage for a possible call for early elections.
It was 24 hours after Leibrman's move putting Netanyahu's coalition and his position at real political risk that Netanyahu order the IDF to "take the gloves off" and sought to "protect the Israeli people".
Netanyahu lost political control and now has a war he didn't want and will do nothing in the long term except stroke the flames of rage and revenge on both sides.
I like the Australian guy. Maybe the last outpost of the anglosphere.
Stephen Harper of Canada didn’t sound like a terrorist-symp US President. There are many in the West just waiting for an opportunity to turn this around.
If this were back in the cold war, I don’t think we would have survived if we had the leaders we have now. We would been blown to little bits. We do have an invasion going at our southern border, while Nero fiddles.
