Netanyahu's Chicken Little act.........I really mean it this time

Oh, give it a rest. Iran has stated it will wipe Israel from the face of the earth. If he's a little paranoid it's with good reason. And who's to say when Iran will do what? Maybe they already have nukes and are just working on a method of deployment. We should have taken out Iran back in the 80's.

Israel has nukes....Iran doesn't

Who needs to be afraid?

You're disgusting.
No. He's right on this one.

And even Netanyahu, who had no business speaking before the Congress just 3 weeks before his election, praised the President for his support of Israel, also in things that for security reasons cannot be made public. Obama has gotten Iran to do something that no other president has achieved: to get Iran to dance to his tune, using carrot and stick methodology. That really must irk Righties, esp after so many fuckups during the Bush 43 years.

No business speaking before congress? Why?

Do you think that affairs of state simply cease when you are going through an election? The speech was DIRECTLY counter to the deal that we are working on right now with Iran. Should he ignore the progress to a deal that he is opposed to? That would be dumb.

Further, claiming that Iran is suddenly 'dancing to our tune' is false. We have managed very little over there and this agreement certainly does not look like much of a step in containing Iran's nuclear ambitions. We shall see after an agreement is reached AND weather or not Iran bothers to follow it but essentially claiming an Obama 'victory' for lack of a better word is asinine.

Because it is a very longstanding State Department policy to make sure to in no way interfere with the politics of another land shortly before that country holds elections, which means no high level visits either way during that time. It's that simple, and that's why PM Netanyahu had no business being their yesterday.
So you expect Israels PM to remain silent during the entire process while America hammer s out a deal that they are not pleased with?

That is asinine in the extreme. the deal is being worked on NOW. His address to congress was not on his time table or even congress' time table - it was done on Obama's because this is the time that the deal is being worked on.

He had business there. CLEARLY had business there. To address congress about something that he disagrees with.

No, I expect Bibi to hold to the standard protocols of diplomacy. If he is re-elected, he could just as well have made this speech after the election. Plus, he did not need to speak before the Congress in order to voice his reservations. He could have held a press conference in Tel Aviv and directed his comments toward Americans as a whole. He could have written Op-eds, he could even ask to speak before the UN.

Plus, he has already screamed chicken little a number of times in the past: it was all smoke and mirrors.

The only real reason why he chose to do this now is because he thinks it will help his re-election chances.

Any of the other mentioned things would have helped MORE. The last thing that i would suspect campaigning is going before a large number of people THAT CANNOT VOTE for him.

And no, he could not have talked after the election. That is the point. The deal is occurring now. The longer he waits the less influence he can exert. None of the things you mentioned would have the diplomatic effect that going before congress would have with the US. It sounds like you are against this simply to be against it.
