If anyone is "chickens**t it is our president. Unlike Clinton, on the world stage Obama (whom I voted for twice) is a joke. So if an unnamed administration source is referring to Bibi as Chicken dung well I guess they would know because they are working for a leader who epitomizes that adjective. What a disappointment President Obama has been!

What this article says is Obama has failed and now has no ability to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

Obama, with all the power of the US at his command, can't gather the "guts" to confront any country but ... Israel. And, OK, Libya, but only with the UK and France in the lead. It won't confront China, or Russia, and it does nothing about North Korea and Iran. And how long did it take brave Obama to finally order the strike on Bin Laden? Face it, the only "chickenshit" is the former community organizer from Chicago. As to comparing the attack on Iran to Begin's on Iraq, the former was a one-shot operation on a known, above ground facility. That against more distant Iran is far more complex and challenging, especially considering the opposition from the US.

Be man enough to stand up in plain sight and reveal yourself. As for Jeff Goldberg, he's a Tom Friedman wannabe. Another one of Obama's lackeys acting under the pretense of being a journalist.

I find it ironic that Netanyahu is called chickenshit by officials of an administration whose hesitation and procrastination in the face of threats throughout the world has made it synonymous with weakness and ineptitude, so much so that even his own former chief of staff and defense secretary publicly criticized his lack of leadership and decisiveness. I guess this President and his administration know all about what a chickens hit is. All they have to do is look in the mirror.

Neither wants to take on Iran. Netanyahu waffles about peace and Obama pressures Israel on peace but is afraid to say anything to the Palestinians.

Obama administration is correct. Judging by what happend in Gaza Bibi is a chickenshit and certainly he is one of the worse politico/military leaders that Israel ever had. On the other hand Obama administration should look in the mirror itself. "Chickenshit" grossly undestate the status that Obama and American administration holds in the Middle East and the World.

Obama shows that he is incompetent president, Just look at his overall record just a guy that took the country on a ride to serve him and him alone. Carter can look forward to get up from the bottom of the list

The silly name-calling is just a prelude to concerted US and EU actions and sanctions in the UN Security Council against land theft for building illegal settlements

Chickens are calling tiger chicken? Obama knows that till BB is in power, he can not harm Israel. Look at record of US - 1)North Korea 2) China 3) Iraq 4) Iran 5) Libya 6) Egypt was almost messed up 7) Turkey - becoming hard religious under Obama's best friend's rule. And US dares to call BB chicken? They should look in the mirror. Obama came to power to bring US with the level of the rest of the world. There is something seriously wrong with this man's intentions - not only about Israel but also about US.

Pls dont strike us and has turned back to say this.

I have long suspected that Prime Minister Netanyahu has no desire to take on Iran ,which is certainly far from an easy proposition. However ,if he were to take action he would be called ' aggressive , " gung ho " and " Trigger happy " and other such terms. Now ,because he has avoided taking direct action ,Netanyahu has been accused of being cowardly .A case of " damned if you do ,damned if you don't ."

These "senior officials" that are afraid to reveal themselves are mocking Netenyahu for doing exactly what they and Obama were begging Netenyahu to NOT do -- attack Iran. So he listens to them and then they mock him for listening? These are some serious losers in the most bumbling and lost administration in my lifetime that has lost the respect of allies and adversaries worldwide. They should be hanging their heads in shame and hoping no one will remember their "service" once the next President comes into office.

"it is too late for him to do anything. two, three years ago this was a possibility. but ultimately he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. it was a combination of our pressure and his own unwillingness to do anything dramatic. now it's too late." the obama regime admits that it will sign a capitulation deal with the shia terror regime. it freely admits that this is a bad deal. despite the enormous pressure that they exerted on israel to refrain from attacking iran's nuclear weapons facilities, the obama regime blames netanyahu for the catastrophic outcome of their iran "diplomacy."

they shouldn't be surprised that painful holes are the result and that it will hurt for a long time.

then he is probably doing something right.

They often say "One man;s terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".Well, I would say that "One unnamed U.S. offcial's cowardly chckenshit Israeli Prime Minister is another person's cautious but constantly alert and responsible leader.

Somebody is finally telling it like it is: Netanyahu is bad, very bad for Israel future.

after openly supporting Romney. After one big building plan after another...after all the not so thinly veiled insults...well the US government finally snapped in an epic way. Not very diplomatic. Perhaps not very wise......but than neither has Israel's conduct towards it's nr 1 beneficior .

Goldberg says that Obama says that now Iranian nukes are inevitable and that Obama is proud to admit that he is the one who facilitated the nuclearization. The American people and former US allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabia should internalize what that means. As for Israel, that means one thing: the only way to survive an Iranian nuclear attack is by holding on to Judea and Samaria.

The reasons are: 1) Israel does not have the military power to take out all the nuclear installations in Iran. It would take the military projection of a country like the US, Russia or China to do that. Why do you think Netanyahu was/is trying to get the US to do the dirty work for Israel? 2) Netanyahu has always been the consummate politician but never a national leader. He knows that if he attacked Iran and the destruction of Iran's nuclear capabilities were only partial or the casualties were high his political career would be finished. To be out of the national limelight would crush a man like Netanyahu because the only thing that exceeds the man's political ambitions is his vanity .

famous for setting down red lines that no one dare cross...

The real chickenshit is Obama the Islamist. He is bad for America, Israel and the Free World.
