Howard Dean calls Netanyahu a 'disaster,' terms his Congress speech 'stupid' (13 days until speech)

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.”

Howard Dean squeezed this kitty named "Fluffy" to death and he screamed the entire time, "Death to cats!".

Peepants is getting set to announce his own POTUS candidacy, looks like.

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

Netanyahu is a legitimate national leader. I’ll bet Dean supports our imposter in chief though.

[cva66snipe]

I smell a crazy RAT testing the political water for a possible POTUS run.

[RJS1950]

Dean is no more a useful idiot than any of the rest of the party. The useful idiots are the low information twits who vote for these asshole fascist democrats.

Dean, the Kenyan and the rest of the democrat party are a pestilence on the nation and an enemy of the Constitution and the Republic.

I wish only the utmost evil and ill on all of them.

[willibeaux]

Fun.... Dean is also a first class horses’ @zz.

[Billthedrill]

Bibi couldn’t buy this kind of publicity.

[willibeaux]

Big....Or a high colonic

[dpwiener]

Bibi couldn’t buy this kind of publicity.

That was also my impression. Bibi's speech is going to have an enormous audience, far greater than if the Obama administration had simply shrugged and ignored it.

It's sort of a corollary to the Barbra Streisand Effect.

Head of the Democrat party. And true, he's not a doctor. Worse yet, he waited 4 or 5 years after high school before entering college, then dropped out during his undergrad years and took time off between graduation and grad school. Wars are inconvenient like that. Interesting Dean was schooled in the late 60s with no such inconvenience. Bad back (which didn't prevent working as a ski instructor), med school deferment. Not stupid. Especially since his number, 143, in the first lottery, was a winner.

[Beach333]

I bet when Dean started his career in politics he had good and honorable principles that he thought would lead him to success.

He started off okay.

But I bet he regrets most of what he’s ever done

Never really successful in his own eyes, and never good or honorable. It must suck to be him.

YEEEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Ezekiel]

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.

Is this an evening speech? Did PM Netanyahu choose this date?

Interesting historical timing, considering

Sundown, March 3, 2015 begins 13 Adar. The 13th day of the 12th month...

Esther 8

12. On one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar:
13. The copy of the written command to be issued as a decree in every province, and to be proclaimed to all peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies:
14. So the couriers who rode on horseback, riding on the swift horses used in the royal service, hurried and pressed on by the king's command; And the decree was given at Shushan the capital:

13 Adar - Ten sons of Haman hanged, Nuremberg hangings...

War Against Persian Jew-haters (356 BCE)

On the 13th of Adar of the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE), battles were fought throughout the Persian Empire between the Jews and those seeking to kill them in accordance with the decree issued by King Achashveirosh 11 months earlier. (Achashveirosh never rescinded that decree; but after the hanging of Haman on Nissan 16 of the previous year, and Queen Esther's pleading on behalf of her people, he agreed to issue a second decree authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against those seeking to kill them.) 75,000 enemies were killed on that day, and 500 in the capital, Shushan, including Haman's ten sons

You find the most INTERESTING things!

Boehner and Netanyahu must have agreed on the date.

WOW!

“He” must have chosen this date!

[okie01]

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.

May I join in your puzzlement? The opposition has not been pro forma, as one would normally expect in a procedural dispute. Instead, there is a manic quality to their opposition -- as if the speech will cause the public (and the Congress?) to discover something they're not supposed to know.

Or as if it will upset some exquisitely balanced and carefully timed calculation.

Something is clearly driving them to over-react. With this gang, a childish tantrum is certainly possible. But it is hard to understand.

"IF I CANT Kill me some JOOS Im gonna CRY "

"Obie continues to brood"

Sounds familiar!

Esther 6

5. And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court; And the king said, Let him come in:
6. So Haman came in; And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself:
7. And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor:
8. Let the royal clothing be brought which the king wears, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9. And let this clothing and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man with it whom the king delights to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor:
10. Then the king said to Haman, Hurry, and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate; let nothing fail of all that you have spoken:
11. Then took Haman the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor:
12. And Mordecai came again to the king's gate; But Haman hurried to his house mourning, and having his head covered:
13. And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him; Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the seed of the Jews, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him:
