Lieberman to Obama Admin: STFU!

[kpete]

Now, conservative Israel supporters are pinning the blame on the Obama administration for the spat for daring to publicly air its differences with the Israeli government. Making reference to Clinton’s remarks, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who enjoys public grandstanding on other issues, urged the White House to be quiet on this one:

“It was a dust-up, a misunderstanding. (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu has apologized, and the timing was unfortunate. But the second round of criticism is unproductive. I make one appeal — sometimes silence really is golden.”

10. Lieberman is tool. He becomes defensive and whiny when Israel is criticized by the U.S.

He's not going to have many friends left.

Biden and Hillary's comments were appropriate. That he would take issue, shows that he is more interested in protecting Israel than U.S. foreign policy in the region.



Oh, thanks for clarifying the title.
