Feinstein: 'We Cannot Let Israel Determine When and Where the United States Goes to War'
Bretibart ^ | 1/15/14 | Joel B. Pollak

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) triggered controversy with a fiery floor speech in the Senate on Tuesday night, accusing supporters of the bipartisan Kirk-Menendez bill on Iran sanctions of wanting "regime change" and declaring that "we cannot let Israel determine when and where the United States goes to war." The bill includes a provision offering support to Israel in the event of an Israeli pre-emptive strike on Iran.

Feinstein, who chairs the Select Committee on Intelligence and is considered pro-Israel, but her remarks, which echo those of anti-Israel critics, have provoked outrage. The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on her to apologize, noting that the bill includes a proviso that: "Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed as a declaration of war or an authorization of the use of force against Iran."

Adding that the Kirk-Menendez's bill's language on Israel is the same as that in another bill that Feinstein co-sponsored, RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks blasted Feinstein: "We are deeply troubled to see Senator Feinstein making such incendiary and inaccurate remarks on the Senate floor. We call on her to retract this reckless and false charge and apologize to her colleagues and to the millions of Americans who support a comprehensive, robust strategy to prevent the Tehran regime from obtaining a nuclear weapons capability."

In her speech, Feinstein said that "a vote for this legislation will cause negotiations to collapse," arguing that the six-month deal reached in Geneva and finalized on Sunday represented "the best opportunity in more than 30 years to make a major change in Iranian behavior." The deal provides some sanctions relief in return for suspending parts of Iran's uranium enrichment program and allowing limited international inspections.

“We cannot let Israel determine when and where the United States goes to war.”

Is someone advocating that we should?

I’m good with Bibi determining it. Better him than Pelosi/Obama/Clinton. At least Israel doesn’t hate America.

Watch out, Israel, this devil is a big whig in the Bilderberger group and has been the bearer of orders for Hillary and little barry bastard boy just before the super Tuesday primary voting. Feinswein is preparing the sheeple of Amerika for the war her bosses are about to start. The planet must have reached economic reset time by the globalist oligarchs’ reckoning.

Sounds like Feinstein has joined the “Council of Conservative Citizens.”

The Nazi whore Feinstein would be more comfortable sitting in the lap of Hitler than defending Israel.
