Zbigniew Brzezinski Dismisses Bibi's Criticism of Iran Deal: 'Not a Serious Person'

Zbigniew Brzezinki is the man who infamously recommended shooting down Israeli warplanes should they attempt to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. So when David Ignatius asked him today what he thought of Bibi Netanyahu's condemnation of the Iran deal, Zbigniew knew he was being teed up to unload on the Israeli PM.

By Zbig's vituperative standards, his response was in fact relatively measured. Still, the utter disdain with which he regards Netanyahu was evident, calling him "not a very serious person" who can entertain Congress but is not good for Israel.

Another idiot talking.

Zbigniew Brzezinski? The sniveling jackass who attempted to play the role of National Security Advisor from 1977-1981? The Zbigniew Brzezinski who was completely, utterly and ignominiously surprised by the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by revolutionary elements on Nov 4, 1979? The oafish goofball who spent the next one and a half years not getting hostages released and explaining why the seizure of an American embassy wasn't that big a deal? The Zbigniew Brzezinski who hasn't had a single hour's worth of gainful employment in nearly 35 years? That Zbigniew Brzezinski?

Why, this Zbigniew Brzezinski doesn't sound like a very serious person to me. I'm not sure why anything he might say or think would be considered of any moment whatsoever.

I have reread it several times, but I do not understand your post. Could you restate it differently?

Nuking Jerusalem takes out 10% of their Jewish population. That’s like the US losing 30 million in one strike. Netanyahu is very aware of this and extremely serious about it.

I disagree with your account of Bzrezinski’s past life. His father was a Polish diplomat. His family fled to Canada when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. He entered the U.S. to attend university, where he met Henry Kissinger, and the two became inellectual colleagues.

Although I do not espouse his world government views nor his support of Obama, I do recall that he was involved in helping the Polish Pope John Paul II in supporting the Solidarity Movement in Poland that helped Lech Walesa overthrow Soviet Communism in Poland.

the Iranians are so dead set against inspection... They don't want the rest of the world to see what a threadbare mess their nuclear program really is. If you want to live in the 7th Century, that's up to you. Just don't expect any progress, technological or otherwise.

You forget that our hapless government will probably finance and execute a full technology transfer to help them up to speed.

Care to comment on any of the inaccuracies in this thread?

The Russian worked for Jimmah Carter... what else do we need to know?

"I disagree with your account of Bzrezinski’s past life. His father was a Polish diplomat. His family fled to Canada when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939."

Not exactly.....

From Z.B.'s WikiBio -

"Brzezinski's parents were Leonia (née Roman) and Tadeusz Brzeziński, a Polish diplomat who was posted to Germany from 1931 to 1935; Zbigniew Brzezinski thus spent some of his earliest years witnessing the rise of the Nazis.[7] From 1936 to 1938, Tadeusz Brzeziński was posted to the Soviet Union during Joseph Stalin's Great Purge.[8]

In 1938, Tadeusz Brzeziński was posted to Canada. In 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was agreed to by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union; subsequently the two powers invaded Poland. The 1945 Yalta Conference between the Allies allotted Poland to the Soviet sphere of influence. Some sources suggest this meant Brzezinski's family could not safely return to their country"

Sounds more like they were running from the Soviets - not the Nazis.

Is this old nazi still alive? My Gawd. Soon O will dig up Jimmy Carter too to tell us how wonderful it is O has given our enemies nuclear bombs and icbm’s to attack us with. Sheeeeit!

And here’s a real kicker too - Ziggy was considered the “right-winger” in that worthless administration.

[Impy]

Zbigniew “PRONOUNCED: ZBEEG-nyef”

His parents must have hated him from birth to name him that.

[NFHale]

Ziggy is easier.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“And here’s a real kicker too - Ziggy was considered the “right-winger” in that worthless administration.”

You are correct. And Jimmah has spent the balance of his life fawning and slobbering over any communist thug who will grant him an audience.

Almost forgot

Reading Peter Schweitzer’s “Reagan’s War” again. No kind words for Carter and his subversive crew in that book. Details the lengths they went to to stop Reagan.

[DoodleDawg]

Netenyahu isn’t a serious person? How big of an Air Force does Brzezinski have?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Good book.

[NFHale]

Enlightening, and eye-opening. Required reading for anyone wanting to understand what the Dems have become, and how.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Nobody takes what Zbigniew Brzezinski says seriously. Through his tenure, he has proven what a fool he is. Listening to him is like listening to Jimmy Carter.

[EDINVA]

Yup. Netanyahu is SO “Not a Serious Person’ that Obama sent his own campaign crew to Israel where they spent months and untold US $$$, trying to defeat the “Not Serious” PM. Uh huh.
