Judging from the over-emotional reactions from House and Senate Democrats, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu scored a direct hit with his speech. I thought it was a great speech, and one that the Democrats needed to hear.
What’s wrong with insisting that if Iran wants to be treated like a decent nation, it should start to act like one? Pelosi was near tears over this statement?
What’s wrong with saying that “the enemy of your enemy is…your enemy?”
What’s wrong with pointing out that defeating ISIS but allowing Iran to gain nuclear weapons would win the battle but lose the war?
I hope Netanyahu’s speech stops the negotiations in their tracks. It probably won’t, in spite of what the Obama team says. If a deal favoring Iran emerges, it’d probably be better to scuttle the talks now.
I didn’t think it was a good idea for Netanyahu to quote John Kerry. Kerry’s the master of double meanings and political rhetoric on a scale comparable to Bill Clinton. And he’s a bigger observer-in-chief than Obama is.
If there’s an agreement with Iran, we’ll know for sure if Netanyahu was on target, or if he was flat-out wrong. Iran won’t honor the terms of an agreement in any case; they’ve already kicked international nuclear inspectors out of the country in the past to protect their military nuclear program.
The louder the Democrats scream about Netanyahu, the more I’m convinced that he hit the nail on the head. It was a well-crafted speech.
