And the farce continues.
A senior Israeli official suggested on Friday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been misled into thinking an invitation to address the U.S. Congress on Iran next month was fully supported by the Democrats. [...]
"It appears that the speaker of Congress made a move, in which we trusted, but which it ultimately became clear was a one sided move and not a move by both sides," Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi told 102 FM Tel Aviv Radio on Friday.
Rep. John Boehner's office misleading someone? Say it ain't so.
Acknowledging that Democrats had been "pained" by the invitation, Hanegbi said Netanyahu and Israeli emissaries were making "a huge effort to make clear to them that this is not a move that flouts the president of the United States".
We just agreed to go around the standard protocol for these things because Boehner told us we were throwing a surprise party for the president and we didn't want to spoil the surprise. So ... surprise!
OOP'S,  this is cool to call the vindictive bawler out on his not so slick move to make Pres. look inept and not capable, he picked someone who has a track record of saber waving at Iran just like them but in his country he too is not looked upon favorably, and he's facing an around the corner re-election bid.  he only succeeded in alienating democrats and siding with our most least liked group of politicians we have and gives Pres. more to already second thoughts about the war monger Israeli leader. did i mention Netanyahu is a right winger, birds of a feather get fleas too.
