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.”

“As the date of the speech approaches the Left will become more frantic and derisive. “

Explain to me, please, just exactly how Howard Dean is relevant to anything but an insane asylum?

I cannot imagine who or what he expects will protect him from ISIS.

Howard Dean is only important to a handful of American leftists. What he says or thinks is irrelevant to 90% of Americans and 99.999% of the world.

Netanyahu has the support of the majority of Americans. If all they have to throw at him is Howard Dean, it shows how pathetic, weak and petulant they are.

It’s going to be a great speech.

Howard Dean and Joe Biden are two peas in a pod. If Dean were a Republican the media would excoriate him on a daily basis

All I have to say is be prepared for technical difficulties.. There is no way this speech is getting on the air.

They are scared to death of Bibi because it shows the huge contrast between a strong,patriot, leader that loves his country and people and the weakling, anti-American we are so lucky to have as our president. They hate for anyone to see the comparison. I hope Bibi lays out some deeply hidden BO secrets of his past too. I pray for his safety.

I’m afraid that the devils in the Obama administration will cause some kind of major distraction to get the news off the speech or to even have it cancelled.
