it would have been better to work quietly to bring the Americans on board with our strategy and our red lines
Shaul Mofaz, leader of the Kadima party opposition to Netanyahu, and the former head of the IDF.
Moronic. If this person who was supremely responsible for the safety of an American ally, thinks for a second that the safety of HIS NATION would dissuade B Obama in any way from his internal goal of a ‘deal’ he is a LOON.
Kadima party chairman MK Shaul Mofaz, a former IDF chief of staff, acknowledged during an event Thursday morning at the Gordon College of Education in Haifa that the IDF had the ability to delay the program, but would likely face a two-front war while doing so.Israel should still prepare its forces in case a military strike became necessary, but warned that “Israel could spark a regional war, and therefore we must weigh this seriously.”He criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy on Iran. “The Israeli strategy has failed and a different strategy could have been chosen. Netanyahu is fighting a losing battle, and it would have been better to work quietly to bring the Americans on board with our strategy and our red lines,” Mofaz said.Also Thursday, a day after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told tens of thousands of Basij militiamen that “Israel is the sinister, unclean, rabid dog of the region,” Deputy Knesset Speaker Hilik Bar reprimanded the Americans and the EU for their failure to denounce Khamenei’s statement.“Khamenei’s words clearly recalled the racist incitement against Jews, blacks, and others by the Nazis in the 1930s,” wrote Bar in a scathing letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton. “It is sad and grave that we do not hear a firm condemnation from you.”

Actually the French dug in and found their balls because they actually condemned it and said that it "complicates" talks.
Its scary when the French have more balls than the Americans.
If the French are known to wave the white flag...what are the Americans waving right now?
