Howard Dean calls Netanyahu a 'disaster,' terms his Congress speech 'stupid' (13 days until speech)
Haaretz ^ | Feb. 18, 2015 | 5:10 PM | Chemi Shalev

In an unusually harsh attack by an American politician on an Israeli prime minister, former Vermont governor and Democratic chairman Howard Dean lambasted Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, describing him as “a disaster” whose decision to address Congress in March was “a stupid thing to do that has harmed U.S.-Israeli relations greatly.”

“I don’t trust Netanyahu. I think he’s not served Israel well,” Dean added.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, the outspoken Dean, who was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, said, “It’s outrageous what’s going on. Imagine Obama going to Israel two weeks before the elections and giving a speech to the Knesset where he told the Israelis how they should run their foreign policy. I think [Republican House Speaker John] Boehner was just trying to get some political advantage. I think he made a mistake but the guy who really made a mistake was Netanyahu by accepting. I think it was a really stupid thing to do and I think he’s harmed U.S.-Israeli relations greatly.”

The left is really becoming unhinged now!

Can't believe there is 13 more days of this crap before Netanyahu exposes the truth of Zero's disastrous Iran policy!

Bibi is a very intelligent man and his speech will be pertinent and prescient. Dean, the howling doctor, on the other hand, is a buffoon, along the lines of the feckless fool on the hill.

Wacky Howie!
How we miss him.
Any chance he comes back in 2016, or his he too closely affiliated to the Clinton Crime Family?

The RATS are scared Sh*tless about this speech since it will be broadcast and not filtered for the appropriate “blowback” from a foreign leader against Obama.

Another anti-Israel Democrat wetting his pants in fear of what we may learn from Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Obama and the Ayatollah would sign a sweet nuclear deal for Iran right before the speech. Obama is just that sort of traitor.

The length this Administration, and their minions, have gone in their attempt to stop Netanyahu's speech is puzzling. They seem terrified, and I keep wondering what is the big deal?
I just chalk it up to spoiled brats not getting their own way all the time, and having the prerequisite tantrum. Still hard to understand.

As the date of the speech approaches the Left will become more frantic and derisive. They know that Netanyahu has the potential to give a speech that will galvanize the West against Islamic jihadism the way Churchill’s 1946 Missouri “iron curtain” speech stiffened the resistance to communism. Both are an existential threat to Western Civilization, which the Left despises. The Left will do all it can to demean, defeat and stop Netanyahu.

it would seem to me that this country is turning it’s back on Israel and embracing Islamic nations- the anti-Semitism coming out of the left is brazen and unapologetic- and is signaling I think that the left will no longer support Israel- what a brilliant strategy from the left- because after all, we all know how well it goes for nations who curse Israel

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; Gen 12:3

I guess the left no longer wish to be blessed of God- I guess they don’t believe that what God raised up, He can take down-

” Imagine Obama going to Israel two weeks before the elections and giving a speech to the Knesset where he told the Israelis how they should run their foreign policy.”

Imagine obama and the damnocrats sending an “election specialists” team to Israel to defeat Bibi?

Dear Dr. Dean:

Talk about a "disaster." You would pee yourself on the field of battle.

Imho of course...
