Everyone seems to see Netanyahu as a liar. Now add the CIA to the long list which includes the former head of Mossad, the former head of the IDF, the newspaper Haaretz, and former French President Sarkozy.
CIA Director John Brennan rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu's charge that Iran would have a “pathway to a [nuclear] bomb” under the nuclear accord as “wholly disingenuous”.
Brennan also dismissed Netanyahu's attack on Prime Minister Rouhani as "a wolf in sheep's clothing... who thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of the international community", stating Rouhani is as a man who “has a history of engaging with the West, and he is much more practical and reasonable individual.”
Director Brennan, who was educated in New York City, Austin, and Cairo, spent nearly 30 years as a CIA officer, focusing on the Middle East, before becoming the chief of counter terrorism and then the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Speaking yesterday at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, he provided a robust positive assessment of the nuclear disarmament accord, stating it's “as solid as you can get.”
The accord would mean “cutting off pathways not just to uranium enrichment but to plutonium enrichment” and include a “very intrusive inspection regime,” Brennan said.
“I certainly am pleasantly surprised that the Iranians have agreed to so much here."
“In terms of the inspections regime, the reduction as far as the centrifuges, the stockpile, what they’re doing with the Arak reactor — all of that I think is really quite surprising and quite good.”
New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger writes Brennan's comments are "bound to inflame the Israeli government." Can you imagine - the nerve - not only does Netanyahu thinks he speaks for
world wide Jewry, but now the megalomaniac believes he can dictate US policy.
Brennan's assessment of Netanyahu as a liar joins the long ranks of security professionals who have come to the same conclusion.
General Meir Dagan, the famed former commando and head of Mossad called Netanyahu's speech to Congress
"bullshit" and that he had
intentionally lied to Congress and the American public.
Dagan also contradicted Netanyahu’s claim that Iran’s missile program could allow it to deliver a nuclear warhead to “every part of the United States.” Iran’s missiles “cannot reach the US,” he said, adding that Netanyahu knows this.
General Benny Gantz, the former Chief of Staff of the IDF disputed Netanyahu's hysterical claims in 2012 stating,
Iran is led by "very rational people" and doesn't appear poised to build a nuclear bomb that would threaten his nation.
Additionally, last month, Ganz revealed he
stopped Netanyahu from bombing Iran just last year.

In 2011, conservative French President Nicolas Sarkozy stated,
"I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar."
And in today's edition of Haaretz, the editorial page calls Netanyahu a megalomaniac.
Megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, omnipotence, and by inflated self-esteem.
