When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears before both houses of Congress next week, Secretary of State John F. Kerry won’t be there — he’ll be in Geneva trying to hammer out the final details of a nuclear deal with Iran that the Israeli leader in coming to Washington to argue against.
Mr. Netanyahu will use the speech to warn U.S. lawmakers of the danger associated with cutting a nuclear deal with Iran that allows the Islamic republic to continue enriching uranium at any level — even for producing electricity.
But when Mr. Netanyahu appears before Congress on March 3, Mr. Kerry will be deep in negotiations with Iran and U.S. allies on a deal that would allow the Islamic Republic to continue some level of enrichment.
“I will not be here, I will be negotiating with Iran for the rest of that week, as a matter of fact,” Mr. Kerry told lawmakers during one of several State Department budget hearings on Capitol Hill this week.
“I will actually be sitting there trying to get an agreement,” he said.
Mr. Kerry’s comments, which came during an appearance before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday afternoon when asked about Mr. Netanyahu’s controversial address.

VERY believable.
Meanwhile back at the White House members of the terrorist group known as the Muslim Brotherhood parade supporters in and out seeing what advantage the sympathetic administration can give them in their quest to over-throw the American way of life.

Boner hasn’t caved [yet], at least on this.
Starting to look like Jane Long and myself will be making another donation to FR.
One bet I will be glad to lose.
I’m praying Boner holds out on this.
If he does I’ll be sending the money in also, it’ll be a cause for celebration! :-)
Amen, amen! Hope the Bonehead holds...not folds!
History repeats itself. Chamberlain v Churchill. Today it is Obama/Kerry v Netanyahu. Remember Chamberlain remained Prime Minister until Dunkirk. The Nazis were crushed but will an American leader arise that will destroy the Islamic jihadist assault on Western civilization?
Oops....should’ve pinged y’all to my previous post....

Ditto!! Will be glad to lose this bet, too ;-)
I think Obama may Ban Netanyahu from entering the US
Netanyahu’s speech before Congress seems like a good time to release at least some of Mossad’s evidence vis-a-vis Hussein Soetoro’s background.
I can’t believe anyone would support a clown who backed Hanoi during the Vietnam war and would get warm fuzzies about him making nuke deals for us with the Iranian mullahs.
Every time Netanyahu gives one of these speeches without the use of a teleprompter, I am inevitably reminded of Thomas Sowell’s commentry:
“If politics were like sports, we could ask Israel to trade us Benjamin Netanyahu for Barack Obama. Of course, we would have to throw in trillions of dollars to get Israel to agree to the deal, but it would be money well spent.”
I find it odd as hell that Kerry can take one of the Mullah’s lackeys yelling and screaming at him, but cannot stand hearing the plainly calm spoken truth from Bibi.....
Kerry has spent the last 2 days lying to Congress telling them Netanyahu is suddenly happy with the interim deal and sanctions relief and wants it extended.
He also is trying to re-fight the Iraq war saying Netanyahu was wrong about that even though Ariel Sharon was PM at the time and Kerry himself voted FOR the Iraq war!

Netanyahu did say the last time the interim deal was extended that it was less bad than a permanent bad deal, but they’ve consistently argued for increasing the sanctions, not decreasing them!
Looks like allowing Bibi to speak is about the ONLY thing Bonehead hasn’t caved on. Good for Bonehead, on this.
Sending in my FR bucks, now....as this speech is definitely cause for celebration ;-)
Amen, my Friends. What a great leader and patriot of Israel Bibi is.
It’s most saddening we have an alledged leader that isn’t qualified to shine his shoes.
I’ve sent mine in also.
As promised, I also am sending mine in now.
But doing the right thing ONCE doesn’t raise Boner’s stature. Oops, nice turn of a phrase, huh? LOL
Good one and I totally agree. :-)
