Netanyahu: Barak brought Hezbollah to our border

[bemildred]

Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu harshly criticized the 2000 Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, led by then prime minister Ehud Barak, saying the move was irresponsible, and that Barak's administration "brought Nasarllah to our fence."

The Likud leader, who also served a term as prime minister, spoke at a Likud Party conference marking the first anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, saying Barak was "amateur, rash and adventurous."

Barak won the Labor Party primary on June 12, and polls show the he poses the biggest threat to Netanyahu's likely bid for the position of prime minister in the next elections.

"Barak is a dilettante and reckless politician who has a tendency to pursue political adventures," Netanyahu said.

1. I hope that his attack on Barak...

means that he's seriously worried that Barak will defeat him.

2. I think it means NuttyYahoo is still a weasel, mainly.

Although there are reports Barak is a serious threat to NuttyYahoo's ambitions, and that is probably why we are hearing this NOW.
