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.

Just another reason why the majority of Israeli’s despise Obama, they know that he is a Muslim POS, they have known that from the beginning. Obama wants the destruction of Israel, always has..Hey Obama, the real chickensh*t here is YOU..and I would LOVE to tell him that to his face!!

Israel needs to end its dependence on American aid and weaponry. We are no longer a reliable ally and the whole world knows it. Obama or any likely rat successor may not overtly act against Israel but if they ever see an opportunity to really harm Israel by witholding weapons or money you bet they will do it.

Anonymous senior White House officials, hiding behind journalists skirts, calling people cowards. I wouldn’t be surprised if Barry launches some caustic twitter comments next. What an embarrassing Administration.

When the boogie man goes to sleep, he worries that Chuck Norris is under his bed. When 0bama goes to sleep, he worries that Bibi is under his bed.

“Bill Ayers refers to him as “chicken****” as well.That says a lot.”

Since Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers is Barry’s close personal friend and mentor, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was considered a top Administration Official and Advisor to Barry.

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Someone in the Obama administration calling Netanyahu chickenshit? Bibi is a man. The wussys in the Obama administration are a bunch of PC losers.

Probably the same people who called John Kerry "a damn alpha male"

Judging from this administrations track record,
my money would be on Bibi.

(from the article):" He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts.”

I would take any of them rather than the "Clown Prince".
At least the Israeli's lead from the front, and don't have to take a poll before making a decision , dawdle, and show up on time for pressers .
At least they are not willing to needlessly risk their population to danger from rockets , or Obola.
If Golda Meir was alive, she'd give the Clown Prince an earfull after she spanked him .

If anyone from this loathsome degenerate administration called me a “chickensh*t” I would put it on my resume.

The mainstream media has tried so hard to make Obama look like a man. Moosechelle is more of a man than he is. Obama is a wuss.
