I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever, in the 40 years I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been doing this, have
\nheard of another of an American ally trying to push us into war as
\nblatantly and trying to influence an American election as blatantly as
\nBibi Netanyahu and the Likud party in Israel is doing right now. I think
\n it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s absolutely outrageous and disgusting. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a way that friends
\ntreat each other. And it is cynical and it is brazen. And by the way, a
\nlittle bit of history here: In December of 2006, George W. Bush went
\nover to the Pentagon, met with the joint chiefs of staff and asked them,
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you think about military action in Iran?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d They were
\nunanimously opposed to it. And as far as I know, the United States
\nmilitary, the leaders of the United States military, are unanimously
\nopposed to it to this day. This is a fool\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s errand. It would be a
\nridiculous war with absolutely no good coming of it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Klein elaborates<\/a> at his blog:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\nNetanyahu is doing two things that should be intolerable for any patriotic American: he is a foreigner trying to influence our presidential campaign and he is a foreigner trying to shove us into a war of choice in a region where far too many Americans have already died needlessly. The Romney campaign\u00e2\u20ac\u201cas well as AIPAC, the AJC and every other American Jewish organization\u00e2\u20ac\u201cshould make it clear to Netanyahu that his interventions into our political process and policy-making are not welcome here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
