Subject: Sarkozy Calls Netanyahu a Liar
giblets    11/8/2011 5:04:48 AM
French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists. "I can't see him anymore, he's a liar," Mr Sarkozy said in French. "You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Mr Obama replied. The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media.

these guys have 5 minutes to discuss some important issues of global concern.Instead these two heads of state are gossiping about the only elected leader in the entire middle east. |Go figure.
 
What's even more rediculous is that these are two politicians claiming another politician is a liar!
 
that's like two pigs getting together yentering it up about how dirty the other hog is...
 
Netanyahu is the leader of Israel, a country under tremendous pressures, in a volatile and interest heavy region...a little slack from your friends wouldn't hurt...but Israel obviously should not hold its breath. It needs to realize that its friends are fair weathered (which includes a hostile opbama administration) that it is surrounded by genocidal maniacs and that it exists in a seige...instead of trying to escape this reality, it should accept it and build very strong walls and even stronger abilities for force projection to make all afraid to approach those walls!

The irony can make your head explode.  Firstly the French calling other people liars is rather quaint.  Secondly almost all the Jews rounded up in France and set to the death camps were rounded up by Frenchmen.  France stopped selling arms to Israel in the 1960's and embargoed aircraft and ships already paid for.  Today France has to buy it's UAV's from Israel.
 
France is not on my list of favorite countries after 2003.  It's not mentioned very often anymore but millions of American's will never forget.  In any case the growing number of Muslims in France are not exactly going to react negatively to the comment and given the levels of antisemitism in France it's not going to hurt him politically.

Well, many Israelis would agree with Sarko's assessment of the Bibiyahu's personality, but for entirely different reasons. F'rinstance, the smug Bibi character played by Mariano Idelman in Channel 2's satirical program Eretz Nehederet (Land of Wonders) is always lying through his teeth and has a knack of charming himself out of getting caught in the act! To tell the truth, he is certainly not our most honest, nor our most corrupt politician!

What Sarko and Obama visibly can't stand is the fact that Bibi has been doing the job for which he was elected, a lot better and much more successfully than these two. Since I am afflicted with French citizenship, Sarko just answered my question as to whom not to vote for in the coming presidential election. I like the Socialist candidate as much as he likes me, that is, not at all, but Sarko's beheaded-chicken leadership style has not endeared him overly on whoever cares for France and the French people.
