Democrats Go Berserk Over Netanyahu's Effectiveness


Posted: Mar 5, 2015

Appeasers: Democrats called Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu condescending, childish, and told him to go home. President Obama only read the speech and found "nothing new." Translation: Bibi scored big.

Democrats were apoplectic after Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's Tuesday appearance before a joint session of Congress. Liberal Chicago-area Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky even charged, unaware of the irony, that the leader of the Jewish state wanted "to stampede the United States into war once again."

It is President Obama who has the U.S. involved in war in the Middle East once again, fighting the Islamic State that emerged in the American power vacuum left after his withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

In the wake of Netanyahu's tour de force on Capitol Hill, Democrats are also mad that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wants swift floor action on a bipartisan bill to give the Senate an up-down vote on the impending Iran nuclear deal Netanyahu so forcefully warned against.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez of New Jersey and nine other Senate Democrats sponsoring that bill sent a letter to McConnell dripping with disingenuousness.

Because senators "are contemplating the most serious national security issue of our time" — the world's biggest terrorism sponsor getting nuclear weapons — a speedy vote is just an attempt to "score partisan political points," and there's "no immediate or urgent need" to pass it.

But why propose big legislation, then complain when it gets sent to the floor?

And why is there no "urgent need" for fast action on "the most serious national security issue of our time"?

Democrats warn that voting on the bill could disrupt the Iran nuclear talks. Well, good. As Netanyahu said, "no deal is better than a bad deal."

The prime minister may be optimistic in believing that Tehran might accept a good deal. Those long-range missiles aren't to send cherry bombs thousands of miles away, or to land the first jihadist on the moon.

Military action may well be the only way to stop Iran. But in the meantime, we can ramp up sanctions and back regime change — a policy that will work.

Why can't President Obama get busy convincing moderate Muslim states to work against a regime that clearly seeks dominance over all other Muslim states in the region?

For that matter, Obama should back continued oil and gas fracking to keep energy prices down, thereby squeezing Iran's economy.

To keep the heat on, he should also support dissident groups in Iran, something he shamefully failed to do during the 2009 Green Revolution in Iran.

As for the Senate, even if it does get to vote on the bad deal this administration is set to make with Iran, it won't be an official treaty, and Obama may pay no heed.

But if Menendez and a handful of other Democratic senators oppose the deal, will Americans really believe they and Bibi are wrong, while Obama — who has spent six years wrecking the Mideast — is right?

It is quite entertaining to see Obama and the Democrats squirm.

Netanyahu's speech.

"The unbreakable bonds between the United States and Israel are rooted in our shared values, our common ideals and mutual interests. Ours is a deep and abiding friendship that will always reach beyond party. Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli people. The state of Israel stands as the greatest political achievement of the 20th century, and the United States will always have an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.

That is why, as one who values the U.S. – Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.

Today, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated something we all agree upon: a nuclear armed Iran is unacceptable to both our countries. We have all said that a bad deal is worse than no deal, and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons is the bedrock of our foreign policy and national security. As President Obama has said consistently, all options are on the table for preventing a nuclear-armed Iran."

The Republican budget hostage taking just is not working that well for them. Did they decide to approve the Homeland Security budget right after the speech so that their base would not notice or perhaps confuse them?

Great choice of words.

"If you criticize - Israel's leader,

I am just quoting John Fugelsang (Sirius, Tell Me Everything), NOT accusing anyone of anything.

I just think it is ironic, that's all.

Personally, I cannot stand Bibi, and I quote:

"...I know what America is. America is something that can easily be moved. Moved to the right direction...They won't get in our way. They won't get in our way."

And that is exactly what he is doing, to the gullible and macho-loving right wing anyway.

^GREAT POST! THANKS FOR BRINGING TRUTH - TO THE BOARD
