#1 "the pattern already is that one does better as Obama's adversary than friend"

#4 Bambi may unfortunately be the POTUS (or, in his case, pout-us) right now, but nothing he's done so far remotely resembles America or regular Americans' goals or desires. >:-(

#5 WTOP (the leading news/weather/traffic radio station in DC) reported joyfully all day yesterday that Bibi was arriving with a two-state declaration in his suitcase. Already signed and notarized by him, with the keys to Jerusalem in a ceremonial case. And another ceremonial case for Syria with a very fine pair of binoculars.

IOW, the media was preparing its battlespace to set Netanyahu up for abject failure.

#6 Netanyahu and Lieberman are nuts. Obama is right to attempt to reign them in- one thing is for sure, the Israeli government is not bluffing about any of its intentions. Within the year Israel will bomb Iran- the theocracy there will respond by attacking US military bases in Iraq. The Shite population will rise up against US forces enmasse in southern Basra. Iranian-terrorist cells in the mainland US will attack soft targets in response- then the White House will be pulled into a major geopolitical conflict..... the US will then, at great cost, wipe Tehran off the map. Unfortunately- I believe this scenario will prove likely inevitable.

#7 "Netanyahu and Lieberman are ~~nuts~~ smarter than Bambi by a lot more than half."

Fixed that for ya', bg.

"Within the year Israel will bomb Iran"

Do you really think it will take that long?

As for "attempt[ing] to ~~reign~~ rein them in" - what right does Bambi have to do that? Israel is a sovereign nation. Bambi wants to rein somebody in, he can start with himself and his cronies.

(You'll notice I'm not holding my breath....)
