Frankly, he's right about Chavez. And handing over the West Bank and Gaza completely seems to have been a bad move.

A little diplomacy goes a long way.

"Frankly, he's right about Chavez."

Thats insane. It would either start (another) war, or at the very least it would alienate the United States from most of the rest of the world. And no we aren't big enough and bad enough to be able to blow off the entire world.

"And handing over the West Bank and Gaza completely seems to have been a bad move."

And what would you have done instead? If Israel did not withdraw then the Palestinian population would within 20 years have risen to the point where they outnumbered Jews inside Israel. They demand the vote and it's good bye to the Jewish state. Forced removal of the Palestinians was/is not an option for reasons too obvious to belabor.

Yeah. His only problem has been saying out loud what he is thinking.
