Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seizing the bully pulpit of Congress to warn of the danger of trusting Iran curb its nuclear ambitions, even as President Barack Obama's negotiators continue talking with the Iranians Tuesday in hopes of closing a deal this month.

Netanyahu insists he is privy to emerging details of a potential agreement and is expected to lay out specific concerns in Tuesday's speech to a joint meeting of Congress

Forgot anything he says. Pretend you know nothing of this issue. Isn't it telling that Netanyahu feels the need to come and address Congress - i.e. essentially circumvent the POTUS, precisely because he can't trust the POTUS to be firm and side with Israels interest?

It speaks volumes. If he could trust Obama, he wouldn't be wasting his time with Congress and stirring up this debate. He's doing it because he has to. Because it's his only chance.

Never once heard of a “bully pulpit” of Congress before this story, an attempt I surmise at getting the bully word into a discussion of Netanyahu.

Thoughts?

Father God,

May the truth about the dangers of an Iran Treaty be brought to light in Congress this morning. May no weapon formed against Netanyahu prosper.

Give our Congressmen wisdom and courage on how to protect Israel and America against the dangers of Islam expansion. May our legislator uphold the covenant treaty made between Israel and America.

In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The media is not even addressing the issue and threats to Israel if Iran a state sponsored terrorist state gets s nuclear bomb.

They’re more interested in attacking Bibi before they have even heard him and what about the Dems boycotting and acting like bratty children who don’t want to listen to an adult?
