US diplomat says PM has been trying to maneuver White House
Jerusalem Post ^ | NOTE THE DATE 11-11-09 | JPOST.COM STAFF

The feeling in Washington is that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been trying to maneuver the US administration over the past few weeks, and we cannot accept that, an unnamed US diplomat told Army Radio on Wednesday morning, in what may have constituted an explanation to the blackout imposed on the details of the Monday night 100-minute meeting between Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama.

The official went on to cite Netanyahu's conduct in press briefings, presumably those following meetings with Obama and other high ranking White House officials in the past, as evidence of the prime minister's attempt to sway public opinion.

According to the report, the US diplomat also mentioned the prime minister's apparent efforts to pressure the US administration through Washington lobbying.

The White House's conduct over the past few days, he reportedly said, was an attempt to set things straight.

“Maneuver”? As in persuade? Convince? Isn’t that what diplomacy is all about? Is this White House really that obtuse? God help us all.

The O has to....

As a Muslim he has no choice, he has to

As he said himself, that if and when things get ugly he is with them.

Kind of short of specifics concerning Netanyahu's attempt to 'maneuver' the US administration. Probably means Netanyahu had the nerve to actually stand up and represent Israel's interests.

It's past time for those in Congress who've claimed such unanimous support for Israel over the years to start speaking up to counter Obama's attempts at weakening Israel.

Isnt America a wonderful place?

They fought for the Jew, his rights, his homeland and his sanctity after Hitler decimated the people. They hung the holocaust on Hitler but never mentioned the muslim factor that was hugely instrumental in the halocaust.

Now we as Americans have hitlers friend sitting in the most powerful office in the country.... to ensure the final solution.

That is where this thing is going to and America is letting this person do exactly that!

Most of the reports noted that the PM did not meet with our discuss the visit with the President.

How do you maneuver the WH by not talking to the press.

I hope, and this may sound terrible, that if Israel falls she uses her nukes at the last moment. I think the middle east keeps forgetting about Israel’s nukes.

Therapists’ offices are filled with US Jews who voted for Obama. Good. My relatives won’t discuss it with me. One summoned the 4th Amendment. Really!

That's because unlike Arabs and islamics, the Hebrews aren't bluffing and/or full of bluster in warfare. (Just business .. but that's negotiation)

I hope they keep some of their nukes on those submarines and keep a couple of them at sea as a “dead man’s switch”.
If Israel gets nuked they launch at all the major Islamic capitols.

"Hillary?"

The article says "told Army Radio" which is Israel Army Radio, which implies a diplomat stationed in Israel.
