Obama: Nothing new in Netanyahu's Congress speech
Jerusalem Post ^ | 3-3-2015 | Reuters

Posted on 03/03/2015 11:20:51 AM PST by Citizen Zed

US President Barack Obama on Tuesday told reporters "as far as I can tell, there was nothing new" in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress panning US-led nuclear talks with Iran.

"The prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives," Obama said, urging Congress to wait to evaluate a nuclear deal with Iran until an agreement is finalized. Obama said that he would only agree to a deal that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

"Even officials in Netanyahu's government have acknowleged that Iran has lived up to its end of the interim deal," he said.

Obama also said that it is important not to politicize the relationship between Israel and the United States.

Following Netanyahu's speech, a senior US administration official said that  Netanyahu failed to offer an alternative in his speech to the US Congress on the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran.

"Simply demanding that Iran completely capitulate is not a plan, nor would any country support us in that position. The prime minister offered no concrete action plan," the official said.

The Democrats - the same party that enabled the North Korean nuke.

Haha. Such irony to see Obama use the same comments I make about him after a speech.

> Obama said that he would only agree to a deal that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Several days ago the deal was Iran can obtain a nuclear bomb in ten years.

Just another Obama lie, nothing new.

If this is true, why is Obama going crazy and wetting his pants after “reading the transcript” of the speech?

He most have said something that struck a nerve as Democrats are out there going ape sh*t and wouldn’t it be nice if Congressional Republicans developed these same type of balls that Bibi has?

He did to offer viable alternatives.

Remove sanctions over a long period of time based on Iran changing it’s current behavior.

Of course he offered another plan...keep the sanctions on and call their bluff when they walk away. Of course Obama knows that.

There was no need for anything new.

The truth needs repeating when lies are extant.

Netanyahu is pleading for his countries very existence and warning of a nuclear attack on US soil, and all all our President can say is “Nothing new in Netanyahu’s Congress speech”.

And all I can hear are the words from Dr. Seuss’, with Mr. Obama’s name in place of the Grinch.

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel,
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart’s an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch,
Given a choice between the two of you I’d take the seasick crocodile

etc.

Susan Rice was speaking to AIPAC on CSPAN right before the speech and defended the 10 yr limit.

I know were not in the ‘end times”. If we were in the “end times” We would have an evil President who would hate God’s original chosen people and would threaten the State of Israel and orthodox believers of all kinds would have to look to Israel’s Prime Minister for moral clarity.
