Israeli remarks about Kerry grow into international incident

Washington is expressing outrage at comments by Israel's defense minister calling U.S. Secretary of State obsessive and messianic.

Defense minister Moshe Ya'alon is quoted as saying in private meetings:

The American security plan presented to us is not worth the paper it's written on. It contains no peace and no security. Only our continued presence in [the West Bank] and the River Jordan will endure that Ben-Gurion Airport and Netanya don't become targets for rockets from every direction. American Secretary of State John Kerry, who turned up here determined and acting out of misplaced obsession and messianic fervor, cannot teach me anything about the conflict with the Palestinians."

U.S. State Department spokesman Marie Harf shot back:

"If these comments are accurate, we find the remarks of the defense minister to be offensive and inappropriate, especially given all that the United States has done to support Israel's security needs and will continue to do. Secretary Kerry and his team, including Gen. (John) Allen, have been working day and night to try to promote a secure peace for Israel because of the secretary's deep concern for Israel's future."


White House confirms, then denies, a secret Iran agreement

Iran disclosed on Monday that there's a 30-page side agreement that's a secret part of the nuclear agreement between Iran and the West. The secret deal has not been released. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Monday that the agreement would be released to Congress. However, a State Dept. spokesman later denied that there was a secret agreement.

Carney also commented on on a tweet by Iran's president Hassan Rouhani:

"Our relationship w/ the world is based on Iranian nation's interests. In #Geneva agreement world powers surrendered to Iranian nation's will. — Tweet: Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) January 14, 2014"

According to Carney, "It matters what they do, not what they say." Apparently that bit of wisdom doesn't apply to remarks made in private by Ya'alon in Israel. LA Times and Weekly Standard

This is similar to, but not nearly as blatant an example of, hiding a crisis with a crisis, compared to the brilliantly timed release of the IRS scandal on the news cycle.

When the Libyan ambassadors murder by hate film scandal and the spying on AP reporters scandals were getting too much press, the White house had their political henchwomen, in the IRS, plant a question with the press, that allowed the henchmen to out herself with the answer, and thus transfer the press coverage off questions the President did not want to answer right then.

The press actually sympathized with illegally using the IRS to attack the Tea Party and other conservative political groups the reporters disagreed with, so it changed the entire news cycle to a scandal that ultimately did not hurt the President, and the Press used it to attack Republicans investigating the illegal use of the IRS against the White House's political enemies.

The now you see it, now you don't, secret side deal with Iran, plus the image of the Foreign Minister of Iran placing a wreath at the grave of the suicide bomber who blew up hundreds of U.S. marines on a peace keeping mission in Lebanon, and all the other anti-American statements being released by Iranian officials at the highest level, are not something the President wants to talk about right now, thus manufacture a new crisis with Israel to suck up the news coverage.

Obama is a masterful generation X politician, he uses the lie to perfection and he avoids accountability. Attributes the Generation X voters actually admire.
