That lie gave birth to the “Islamic State” today, costing the US close to 5,000 young lives, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis and over a trillion dollars, and still counting. “There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons – no question whatsoever.” In September 2002, Netanyahu brought his “under oath” lies to a US House of Representatives Committee to promote the US invasion of Iraq.
Less than a year later, following a botched assassination attempt on a Palestinian leader in Jordan, Netanyahu lied about the Israeli role in the plot, leading Clinton to tell his staff: “I cannot deal with this man. He could open his mouth and you could have no confidence that anything that came of it was the truth.”Īccording to David Miller, following Clinton’s first meeting with Netanyahu in 1996, the president got so agitated that he exploded: “Who the f… does he think he is?” In Clayton Swisher’s book, The Truth About Camp David, Joe Lockhart, former White House spokesman for Bill Clinton, described Netanyahu as “one of the most obnoxious individuals, just a liar and a cheat. The Zionist thought police – masquerading as international media – which succeeded in intimidating aspiring politicians, failed to inhibit leaders from expressing their opinion in private meetings or after retirement. It is a fact attested to by almost every other international political figure he has met over the years. Netanyahu has special abilities to twist facts without blinking an eye: he can lie with a smile. I watched with keen interest his debates, and must confess I was taken aback by his chutzpa. I have followed the megalomaniac performance of Binyamin Netanyahu since he was Israel’s representative at the UN in the mid-1980s.
