    Sarkozy tells Obama Netanyahu is a "liar"

    Sarkozy tells Obama Netanyahu is a "liar" - Yahoo! News

    PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "a liar" in a private conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama that was accidentally broadcast to journalists during last week's G20 summit in Cannes.
    "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar," Sarkozy told Obama, unaware that the microphones in their meeting room had been switched on, enabling reporters in a separate location to listen in to a simultaneous translation.
    "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you," Obama replied, according to the French interpreter.
    The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
    The conversation was not initially reported by the small group of journalists who overheard it because it was considered private and off-the-record. But the comments have since emerged on French websites and can be confirmed by Reuters.
    White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to comment on the conversation when asked by reporters traveling with Obama to an event in Philadelphia.
    Obama's apparent failure to defend Netanyahu is likely to be leapt on by his Republican foes, who are looking to unseat him in next year's presidential election and have portrayed him as hostile to Israel, Washington's closest ally in the region.
    Pushing Netanyahu risks alienating Israel's strong base of support among the U.S. public and in Congress.
    Netanyahu's office declined to comment, but one of his deputies, Vice Premier Silvan Shalom, played down the episode.
    "Everyone talks about everyone. Sometimes even good friends say things about each other, certainly in such competitive professions," Shalom, a former foreign minister and rival of Netanyahu in the rightist Likud party, told Israel's Army Radio.
    "So you have to consider the main things. Is Obama a friend of Israel? Is Sarkozy a friend of Israel? Is their policy a consistent policy of support for Israel? The answer to all of these questions is affirmative and, as far as I'm concerned, that is what's important."

    Is Netanyahu a friend of Israel?
    Is any right wing Zionist a friend of Israel?
    Is the cringeworthy US political sector a true friend of Israel?

    The liar midget naming other liars. That's fun.

    Does Nicolas 1er have achieved anything in France apart making the country a Frankistan ? Not talking about the US monkey who is the same kind of liar.

    Both should be hanged.

    ...if you tret the whole country as a patient and psychoanalysed them, you could only conclude that they were antisocial self-loathing masochists with a victim complex.

    Well, well what do we have here ?
    Sarkozy is a self-hating jew.
    Obama is anti-semitic.
    ...and Merkel would have been a nazi.

    And if Joe Shmo would have said it, he would have lost his job.

    Hhmmm, then again. Maybe Obama was set up by Netanyahu's jewish friend Sarkozy.

    Remember: 15% agreed Jews are "more willing to use shady practices."

    No, on all points.

    All are destroying Israel in the long run.

    Netanyahu is probably the least potently dangerous in that scenario.
