Benjamin Netanyahu is no fool

Check out excerpts from the following headline:

“Israelis reportedly don’t plan to notify U.S. if decision made to strike Iran (Feb. 27, 2012)”

“Israeli officials say they won’t warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered the message to a series of top-level U.S. visitors to the country, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the White House national security adviser and the director of national intelligence, and top U.S. lawmakers.” (www.foxnews.com)

Can you blame Netanyahu for being secretive with the administration of President Barack Hussein Obama? Netanyahu is in the class of Winston Churchill. President Obama pales to unsophisticated insignificance in such vaulted company. Can Netanyahu trust the Obama administration? (Bear in mind the recent appointments of Muslim Brotherhood members to the Obama administration.) Unless your mama raised a fool, you know the answer is no.

How does Netanyahu know that if he were to let the Obama administration in on the details of their attack on Iran (in pure self defense, no more holocausts please), that someone in the Obama administration would not be passing on the details to the ayatollah so that the Iranians could spring a trap on the Israeli military?

Liberal Democrats are historically untrustworthy in such matters (Alger Hiss). Netanyahu cannot say so in public, but can he trust the Obama administration? Even Obama apologist Bob Wynhausen would have to chime in with a resounding “no.”
