I’ve also wondered how smart Netanyahu’s strategy on this is too. However, something tells me he has some good intel on what Obama wants to do. Methinks Netanyahu feels its better to go down swinging than meekly accept Obama’s anointment of Iran as the new Middle Eastern superpower.
I think the strategy here goes far beyond the debate over the sanctions bill and whether or not Congress will override an Obama veto for the first time.
It’s far too late for sanctions to work now.
War is on the horizon, and if it doesn’t break out prior to Bibi’s trip here in early March, it will soon after.
Bibi’s speech to Congress should be viewed as a final warning to Iran, and to the world as well that Israel can’t wait any longer.
