Netanyahu: Iran Nukes Trump Global Economy
Source: Associated Press

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Israeli election front-runner Benjamin Netanyahu told a session of the World Economic Forum on Thursday that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons ranks far above the global economy among the challenges facing leaders of the 21st century.

Discussing leadership in crisis on a panel that also included British Conservative leader David Cameron, the hawkish Israeli Likud Party leader discussed the need for Israel to lower taxes and increase competitiveness if he emerges as prime minister after Feb. 10 elections.

Netanyahu, a former finance minister, said he believes the global financial meltdown is reversible if governments, businesses and people make the right decisions.

2. A lot of it no doubt geared at the voters at home.
Netanyahu is bad enough at any time. When he's rallying his base just before an election, he's worse.

(Wonder what our delightful Cameron had to say...)

3. Netanyahu salivates at the thought of war. No surprise.

And this is the man Israel will elect as it's new leader. My fear is he will do whatever he can to instigate Iran and cause an altercation.
