Why say that?

Saying this makes the W.H. look immature like a bunch of whiny grade-school babies crying about disrespect and some protocol thing.

He would sound petty if he came here just to badmouth Obama, so he's doing the right thing. Obama sounds like a child, and Bibi sounds like an adult.

I can't wait to hear what he has to say to Congress.

Iran will have a nuclear weapon if it’s up to Obama.

It’s no use. The Narcissist-in-Chief will always believe it’s about him.

Bibi is being sorta truthful here. He accepted the invitation and when he saw how it would needle Obama he was delighted. As for the stuff about relations being stronger than ever, the is pure balderdash, but is simply part of diplomacy.

On the Iran comments Bibi is shooting straight here. "Imagine what Iran would do with a nuclear weapon."

As for Obola, he is thinking, "Imagine what Iran would do with a nuclear weapon. Oh, yes! Especially to that filthy, Jewish state."

We elected him twice.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows more respect for this country than our administration.

Kowtow is not what Bibi does, political chess is more like it... Obama blabs, I mean bluffs but then telegraphs his moves. Bibi, more like gives up a pawn (may sound like Kowtowing) for the check mate. No, Bibi is only human, but who you gunna wanna stand next to when a hot war begins.

FYI, We aren’t really making it possible per se, we are giving valuable support and technology(aid and Comfort) to make certain Iran has Nukes in the hopes that they will be an equal next time at the bargaining table when it comes to World Affairs. We know they will have to test these nukes, so if they decide on New York, Los Angeles or Jerusalem, We don’t care, either way they will be an equal, which is what we want.

This is how a true statesman illustrates with total clarity how much of a classless asshole our guy is.

I think his opponent for PM is campaigning on the theme that Bibi has destroyed US/Israeli relations. That, and to shut the stupid western media down.

Probably why the negotiations are secret. Wouldn't be surprised if Ø insisting on a condition to use said weapon.

He damn well better respect the OFFICE of the President, but as far as I’m concerned he can disrespect the man-child Obama til the cows come home. And if he needs help, just holler...

Very intelligent preparatory speech. His focus was not on the present, but the history of the alliance with the US since statehood, which has grown stronger over the years and will weather the present differences to grow even stronger in the future.
