No US ally is as arrogant as Israel: Sen. Feinstein

2015-03-09

[Iran Press TV] Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
has called recent remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Congress "arrogant" saying that no US ally would do what Netanyahu has done.

I realize it's catty to say so, but when I first woke up yesterday morning to see her on "Meet the Press" or whatever it was, my first thought was that after a certain age deep brown hair dye does not lend a youthful appearance to the face underneath it. Also, she was speaking party line nonsense.

Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, was referring to an anti-Iran speech Netanyahu delivered at Congress on March 3 to persuade American politicians to put more pressure on Tehran during nuclear negotiations.

During his speech, Netanyahu said that Israel has been saying for "over a year that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well this is a bad deal, a very bad deal. We're better off without it."

"The alternative to this deal is a much better deal. A better deal that doesn't leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure and such a short breakout point," the premier added.

Feinstein said that "what Prime Minister Netanyahu did here was something that no ally of the United States would have done".

No ally of America has needed to, previously. But one suspects this administration is not working with a team in Israel to sabotage Iran's uranium centrifuges.

#9 What you call arrogance I call being the leader of the free world. That's certainly not UK, France or USA.

#7 At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... and needs to be retired, she is so out of touch, she probably sleeps through her sessions in the Senate Intelligence Committee meetings.

#6 Anyone Feinstein identifies with who was involved in the Holocaust was an implementer, not victim.

#5 She must not have any personal knowledge or lost any relatives to the holocaust; otherwise she would understand Netanyahu's efforts.

No US ally has as much to lose as Israel.

#3 I get this creepy and very uneasy Pearl Harbor kind of sensation reading all of this.

If something blows and blows big, I hope this time they go higher than Kimmel and Short...

#2 If you live in a neighborhood where everyone wants you dead, some more actively than others, you are going to be either spunky or dead. Rather than bow down to the student council that is running our government, Netanyahu expressed some existential concerns and tried to get people to pay attention.

You can ignore looming danger right up until the moment you can't.
