“The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit,” this official said, referring to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, by his nickname.

The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” the official said, expanding the definition of what a chickenshit Israeli prime minister looks like.

The official said the Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to keep the regime in Tehran from building an atomic arsenal. “It’s 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.”

Above is from the recent Atlantic article which has prompted a mini-crisis between U.S. and Israel.

Three questions which immediately come to mind are:

1- When someone “scared to launch wars” is considered to be a chickenshit, then the brave ones are the cowboys who are not scared to launch wars?

2- What does the White House official mean by “it is too late” to do anything about the Islamist fascists-“reformers” and all- getting their nuke?

3- Does it mean the White House has accepted the world’s leading sponsor of international terrorism and warmonger active in many countries, according to its own public statements, as a nuke power?

Sanctions works, U.S. Senate, get to it!
