Nétanyahou "liar" - Obama-Sarkozy secret chat

www.arretsurimages.net

Microphones accidently left on after G20 meeting pick up private conversation between US, French presidents. Sarkozy admits he 'can't stand' Israeli premier. Obama: You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day!

Both leaders were in a side room before a speech when Obama made a remark that Sarkozy should have told him he intended to vote yes to the Palestinian UN bid. Then they go on about how annoyed they are at the Israeli premier.

Sarkozy : "I can't stand him anymore, he's a liar"

These comments were heard thru headphones by a few journalists (5-6). At first they decided not to report it because they thought it would be some kind of breach since the leaders weren't told that their mike boxes were on.
It went on for about 3 minutes before they realised their microphones were on.

I for one would like a full transcript of that chat, way more funny than the usual "communication.

Obama is the leader of the most powerful country in the world..
If he speaks to Nétanyahou everyday then It's because he wants to..
He could just tell him to bugger off which is what I'd do..

Obama says he "has to" , that's a bit different, it implies he rather not, but that's how diplomacy goes.
We kinda know how the US politics have to bow down to Israel.

The fact that there are some (many) world leaders/politicians who are liars does not come as a surprise to me, why should it come as a surprise to Sarkozy?

Anyone heard the joke?
How do you know when a politician is lying to you?
When his mouth starts moving

Maybe Obama is indeed the leader of the most powerful country in the world. But he is controlled by the most powerful people in the world. Which aren't... hummm... necessarily dedicated to this "most powerful country in the world"

Puppets act according to the strings being pulled, they do not have the choice of which, how, when and if.

Of course, but the context here is pretty grim, we're talking world peace and maybe the unfolding of WW3.
This is about the palestinian UN bid. Israel puts pressure on Obama, then Obama puts pressure on Sarkozy.
Beyond that it poses the question of the UN credibility as a whole.

These guys have the fate of countless lives in their hands if things go south.

I read that a little differently, myself and it isn't a positive thing. If the PM of Israel (who is a busy man, we can assume) is talking daily with the U.S. President (Who is definitely a busy man) then there is a great deal happening behind the scenes here that the public is not aware of or being told about. Interesting...and more pieces to the puzzle we're staring at.

LOL.

They sound like a couple of women bitching by the water cooler in the office !

Whatever happened to ''treating every microphone as if it were a live one'' ? Not very professional. Tut-tut.

They weren't told at first that the mikes were on.
That didn't stop a few curious journalists from listenning in. And that's why it wasn't reported at first, they felt that this info wasn't obtained fairly.

Of course I don't agree, these guys are politicians, public figures, at a public event.

Everybody in politics and media should treat all microphones as live, regardless of whether they believe them to be switched on or not. It's very unprofessional, and potentially damaging, for them not to.

If a microphone is physically present within the vicinity, then do not say anything that you wouldn't be happy to be recorded and replayed at a later date !

Everybody in politics and media do treat the microphones as live.

You were meant to hear this.

This wasn't the only incident. Different conversations were mentioned as being 'accidently' picked up. None of it was very interesting and I was wondering why they mentioned this last week. Now we know.

www.bbc.co.uk...

this is now receiving worldwide coverage.

so was it to :

a) cut ties with Israel

or

b) drive the man mad and make him speed up his action against Iran.

(many have often claimed that the US actually takes its orders from Israel. We will now if that is true fairly soon as Obama would be out of a job in a couple of weeks after a quip like that about his boss.
