'Bloomberg' column details former US defense secretary's feelings that Netanyahu was "impudent," unable to cope with growing Israeli isolation.

Freshly retired US defense secretary Robert Gates was highly critical of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, calling him an ungrateful ally and blaming him for diplomatically isolating Israel and hurting American interests, a Bloomberg column revealed Tuesday.

The criticism, reported in a piece by Jeffrey Goldberg, apparently peaked after Netanyahu met with US President Barack Obama last May, lecturing him in front of the cameras on the Israeli security situation with a level of "impudence" that shocked many in the White House, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gates just wants to sell books. Now that he has made a crappy remark about my friend Bibi, Gates can eat his book…

The only ally Israel need be concerned about is this One >..Psalm 87.

"...feelings that Netanyahu was "impudent," unable to cope with growing Israeli isolation."

Isolation?...you wish!

2 Kings 6:17 "And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."

Irrespective of my opinion of Secretary Gates opinion, America's ally, not Obama's ally, is Israel not Netanyahu.

That N-Word in the White House is nothing more than a sub-Saharan Arab Muslim trying to make his bones in the world. He will never hold a candle to Netanyahu. He’s not even close.

Mr. Netanyahu is beyond my ability to describe, but I know I love his courage and determination!

We’re not isolated. We’re just looking in the wrong places for allies. Our natural allies are India, Armenia, Greece, Cyprus, South Sudan, Greater Kurdistan, Alawitia, Baluchistan, Coptia, Christo-Syria, and Christo-Lebanon. Some of those states don’t exist yet, so we ought to midwife them into being. United we can help each other. Divided, we are alone on a vast Islamofascist sea, looking to a stupidpower for salvation, and playing the chocolate Islamofascists against the vanilla Islamofascists, and hoping they kill each other off.
