Nuclear deal: Netanyahu’s call to halt ‘Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis’

[bemildred]

The Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has a good line in hyperbole.

“The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is very dangerous for humanity and needs to be stopped,” he said to his cabinet this morning after meeting US politicians over the weekend.

Diplomats from the US and Iran, plus representatives from China, Russia, Germany, France and the UK, are meeting in the picturesque Swiss town to thrash out a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme. It’s the culmination of a twelve year process that the Israeli government has resisted from the start – the closer the deal, the more overblown Mr Netanyahu’s language.

Take the word “axis”. It evokes the “Axis powers” – Germany, Japan and Italy – in WWII. There was also George W Bush’s famous “axis of evil” speech, in which he included Iraq under Saddam Hussein, North Korea and (of course) the Islamic Republic of Iran.

3. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

They have been pulling out all the stops for some time now. I think it gets to be a habit.

4. Yea, he is the one who wants to dominate, he should look in the mirror to self identify who

is the threat in the region..and his new friends in SA.

Obama is not going to give in, nor is the EU going to agree to more sanctions even
if Bibi had his way..why would they, to satisfy the Republicans? I don't see how
anyone can end up blaming Iran and keep a straight face if this does not work out.

6. Well, Iraq us out of the way, Syria is kind of as well

so they have to develop another Middle Eastern Moe, Larry and Curly.

Anything to make Israel look like is isn't a fucking monster in its own right.

2. Nuclear deal with Iran worse than Israel feared: Netanyahu

Apparently his fears are wildly inaccurate as well as exaggerated.

Notice the sucking up to McConnell.


JERUSALEM, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday the emerging framework agreement over Iran's nuclear program was worse than Israel feared, amid reports of possible breakthrough in the talks between world powers and Iran.

"This agreement, as it appears to be emerging, confirms all of our concerns and even more so," Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu held on Sunday a telephone talk with U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, following an earlier talk with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid over the weekend.

The Israeli prime minister said he had expressed "our deep concern over the agreement being formulated with Iran in the nuclear talks."

If so, it must be the size of a fucking duck egg.

7. FSBOTF!

Perhaps when an Israeli PM sticks around too long his head implodes from being up his ass for so long.
