Barak disses Barack


Barak disses Barack

Israeli Defense Minister walked out of a meeting with US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon on Monday, and basically told the Obama administration to mind its own business.
As more and more US officials publicly call on Israel not to attack Iran at this time, Defense Minister Ehud Barak emerged from a two hour meeting Monday with visiting US National Security Advisor Tom Donilon saying sovereign nations act based on their own perception of their interests.

The US-Israel relationship, Barak said at a meting of his Independence faction shortly after hosting Donilon, is a relationship between "two sovereign countries, each one responsible in the final analysis for the decisions it takes for itself and about its future."

...

The White House put out a statement after the meeting saying that Donilon concluded three days of talks in Israel that "addressed the full range of security issues of mutual concern."

"The visit is part of the continuous and intensive dialogue between the United States and Israel and reflects our unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security," the statement said, adding that Donilon confirmed a meeting between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama for March 5.
Anyone want to count how many times a member of the Obama administration says "unshakeable commitment to Israel's security" between now and November? Too bad it's not actually true. Heh.
