Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remembers well just how US President Barack Obama brushed aside Israeli objections and went ahead with the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran.
Now, Netanyahu is reportedly planning some personal payback.
According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Netanyahu will make common cause with moderate Arab governments in order to sabotage Obama’s plan to succeed Ban Ki-moon when the South Korean diplomat ends his term as United Nations secretary-general on December 31 of this year.
Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.
The sources said that once Netanyahu got wind of Obama’s plans, the prime minister began to make efforts to submarine what he has referred to as “the Obama project.â€
“Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?†Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.

The UN Charter on eligibility: Chapter 3 Articles 7 and 8 say:
Article 7-PJThere are established as the principal organs of the United Nations:
- a General Assembly
- a Security Council
- an Economic and Social Council
- a Trusteeship Council
- an International Court of Justice
- and a Secretariat.
Such subsidiary organs as may be found necessary may be established in accordance with the present Charter.
Article 8
The United Nations shall place no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs.
It would be embarrassing, but entertaining to watch England and Russia veto it.
“Return Churchill bust? Return this!”
More good work. Good find.
Bho is not an American. At least, he’s never produced a single official document establishing how he might have become one. Indeed, he’s locked up and hidden everything including his immigration file. So all he has to do is let his country of citizenship (Indonesia or Kenya ) sponsor him - no problrm to get my
Even if Obama wants it, it’s going to be an incredibly hard sell to the member nations.
I can see what Netanyahu is doing here: he’s taking some reports of some open wishful thinking and portraying it as a real effort. Obama either runs or doesn’t run. If he runs and loses Netanyahu gets to brag and gloat about stopping him from being elected. If he doesn’t run Netanyahu can brag and gloat about stopping him from actually running.
Obama’s such a vindictive little narcissist that this will seriously tick him off. Maybe even pressure him into running.
But not a citizen of Kenya.
Hadn’t thought of that way... So you mean there’s hope?
Indonesia where he has not renounced his citizenship.
I know that he wants the UN Sec-Gen position as a stepping stone to the Antichrist.
0bama is too unpopular to be the Antichrist.

Maranatha!
“anyone from the US of becoming the General Secretary of the UN.”
But not if they’re from Kenya.
He’ll just appoint himself.
Thanks Nachum.
Thanks for the link
“I thought the UN Charter prevented anyone from the US of becoming the General Secretary of the UN?”
Since when has ANY RULE applied to Obama???? Enough said!
Ostensibly, he cannot come from the 5 permanent Security Council members.
[Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.]
But, as we’ve seen, laws and rules have not applied to Obama much in the past.
If he takes this post, I would expect a “peace†deal that divides Israel for “peace and security†for 7 360-day years.
And, after 1,260 days.........
Guess we will see.”
Since the Secretary General is not suppose to come from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, is this where Obama says he’s from Kenya????
I do not think anyone in europe wants this guy around at the UN anymore then then Clinton. They have their own blowhards to run things.
Maybe so. Or Indonesia where mommy had him as Soebarkah or whatever name she scratched out on the form.
I can’t keep up with all of his names.
AMEN!
How Bibi must LOATHE the Kenyan musliminchief though he doesn't let it show.
