Ehud Barak: Bibi is a bull****ter
A recently released diary by Alistair Campbell, formerly Tony Blair's communications director when Blair was Prime Minister of England, quotes Ehud Barak saying that Prime Minister Netanyahu is a bull****ter.So here, in the style of the Guardian's king of live blogging Andrew Sparrow, are ten interesting facts from the diaries:Okay, it's nearly 13 years ago, but hmmm....
1) Britain believes that Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is an "armour-plated bullshitter". Campbell writes that this was the foreign office description of Netanyahu in April 1998 during Tony Blair's first visit to the Middle East during as prime minister.
This is what Campbell wrote on 17 April 1998:In the end a lot depended on Netanyahu, or the armour-plated bullshitter as some of the FCO guys called him.2) Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister who recently left the Labour party to strengthen his coalition with Netanyahu, also believes the Israeli prime minister is a bullshitter.
This is what Campbell wrote on 20 April 1998:We had a meeting with [Ehud] Barak [Labor Party leader], who was OK but not everything he had been cracked up to be. He said he was pessimistic because Bibi was a total bullshitter.

I think "bulshitter" is an understatement. He is a flagrant, if not compulsive, liar.
Reminds me of a certain U.S. president. Only more clever.
They were political adversaries then and best friends now.
Look how much has changed in 13 years!
Heh
Bulls don't care which side of the arena they sh*t on.
