US Official Dismisses Israeli Concerns Over Iran Deal : No one Takes Netanyahu Seriously
Algemeiner ^ | July 14, 2015 4:19 pm | David Daoud

A senior U.S. official dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s concerns over the Iran deal on Tuesday, saying nobody pays attention to the Prime Minister anyway, Israeli Channel 2 news reported.

“Nobody takes any of Netanyahu’s proclamations seriously,” the official said, “nobody listens to him.”

During an interview with MSNBC, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also responded to Netanyahu’s criticism of the nuclear deal.

Asked in the interview what he thought about about Prime Minister Netanyahu calling the deal a “historic mistake,” Kerry responded, “Well, he said the same thing about the interim agreement, and he was wrong.”

Kerry called the prime minister’s comments “way over the top.”

He doesn’t even know what the concessions are that we have not engaged in,” he said, adding, “because we haven’t made concessions.”

Despite Kerry’s harsh words for the Israeli prime minister, the Obama administration has started efforts to allay Israeli fears: Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will visit Israel next week to discuss the Iran deal and strengthening security ties.

Obama is losing because he lost Egypt as an ally. If he or Hillary ever shows up in Egypt, they will be arrested. He is losing Saudi Arabia as an ally. Their front line US jets will protect Israel when it attacks Iran. And he is losing Israel as an ally. The only nuclear super power in the Middle East. What does he gain ? A glass parking lot in Persia ?

What the Israelis also have is hard core agents in every country on the planet.

Primary for the most conservative candidate, then if he/she doesn’t win, vote for the lesser of two evils.

We would be in a lot better place if the protest nonvoters had helped to defeat obozo instead of helping him win.

A number of us Vietnam veterans/journalists long ago told the world that Kerry was a complete egomaniac and that he would sell out anyone and everyone for his political dreams, AND HE DID!

We told the world again that Kerry was a pathological liar re his “three Purple Hearts” (none earned, two faked), in our book “”Unfit for Command” (2004). Then the electorate listened and canned his red assed plans for the presidency.

Then the great overeducated and undereducated overwhelmed lazy Republicans and conservatives and we got Comrade Leader Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry.

Looks like the “third time is the charm” worked for Kerry and has set the stage for the destruction of America.

As Obama has said, “YES I DID”!

Obama is a lot smarter as a commie than most people ever thought, and America is in deepshit because they couldn’t see through the communist disinformation as to who he really was.

It was a good run while it lasted.

Tonight on Fox, Krauthammer called the agreement nothing short of insane.

The only reason that Obama is taken seriously is because of all the people he has hurt. Otherwise, I would laugh at the fool.

Say what you will about Bibi, he speaks on US officials in a much more polite and mannerly way than they do of him. It is disgraceful how they speak of the PM. They are more conciliatory to the Iranians!

Netanyahu is afraid of the insane actions of King Obama. He must feel that an attack on Iran is an attack on the United States. That is frighting but King Obama is mentally ill and just might attack Israel. And King Obama has nullified Congress and doesn't give a damn about the American people.

Oh, I think they DO take him seriously... but it is in their best interest (they think) to side step him for whatever nefarious motives they may have.

I have to say that so far Netanyahu hasn’t done anything other than make statements. That’s why there are those who don’t take him seriously.

I think Obama and company WANT Israel to start a war. Then the world will stand against her. Some of us believe a much greater power than any nuke will come to her defense.

Charles the Hammer nails it every now and then. Imagine causing a nuclear exchange just for the legacy of a bankrupt countries President ? Talk about vanity.

Israel took out the Syrian Reactor when Assad was an ally with Russia. They took out the Iraqi Reactor when Saddam was an ally of the US. They could care less about Russia or the US. They will strike when they must.

Methinks Israel will attack Iran the millisecond the Congress fails to stop the agreement since they can’t afford to wait for Iran to get nuked up by the end of the summer.

“No one Takes Netanyahu Seriously”

And that’s exactly why Obama sent his own campaign team to Israel to defeat Natanyahu in the recent Israeli election. And no one takes the election results seriously either. Right? Israelis are nowhere near as stupid electorally as we Americans, unfortunately for us.

Maybe now our Jewish liberal friends will reconsider blind obedience to Hillary.

No country takes Obama seriously - he is a joke, a SAD joke.
