Posted in: Bibi's inner circle
In her article, Bibi’s Inner Circle, Leslie Susser makes a “straw man” argument that “some say they’re too like-minded”, yet nowhere in her story does Susser offer any quotes from these (alleged) critics or even identify who they are. Even if Netanyahu has surrounded himself with like-minded advisors – So what? Does Susser think that Obama even listens to his critics; much less brings them into his inner circle? When she describes Usi Arad as “a quick-witted workaholic” would she apply the same label to Rahm Emanuel? When Susser reported that during Clinton’s visit to Jerusalem in April, Hillary hinted that Arad was not welcome at her meeting, did Ms. Susser endeavor to ask whether or not Arad favored Mrs. Clinton serving as Sec. of State? Throughout her article, Susser describes Bibi’s advisors as pro-Netanyahu Right-Wingers, Economic Hard-Liners and Hawks. Would she similarly label Barry’s cabinet officials as proBama Left-Wing Doves, Socialists and Appeasers? The Israeli elections are over, Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister and he’s appointed advisors to help him implement his policies. Is it too much to ask that, Leslie Susser report on what the Netanyahu government is trying to accomplish, rather than injecting her personal anti-Bibi bias into practically every article she writes?

So far, I've seen no reports that Obama has raised the issue of Iran's Nuke production with Medvedev and/or Putin. This is just another example of how Barry is not looking out for Israel's security. American Jews and their leaders should be skeptical of Obama's Middle East policies, regardless of his rhetoric. The Russian news agency Pravda was a little less subtle in an editorial summing up the Obama administration, headlined: "Obama: Deceiver, cheat, swindler, liar, fraudster, con-artist." This goes double for Israel!
