MOSCOW, October 21 (RIA Novosti) - President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulated on Wednesday the Israeli premier, Benjamin Netanyahu, on his 60th birthday, a Kremlin spokesman said.

Medvedev reiterated Russia's intentions "to contribute actively to the settlement of a fair and solid peace in the Middle East on the basis of equal and safe security for all states and nations in the region."

Putin praised what he described as a "constructive and open dialogue" between the two countries.

"I am committed to enhancing further the cooperation between our countries' governments," the Russian premier said.

Whipping off the granny glasses.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) and Interior Minister Eliyahu Yishai (2nd R) arrive for the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem October 18, 2009. Netanyahu promised a lengthy diplomatic battle to "delegitimise" United Nations charges that Israel committed war crimes in the Gaza Strip, an official said on Saturday.

Born Tel Aviv on October 21, 1949, Bibi is the current leader of the Free World. For more on this see: Showdown: Bibi vs. Obama

It's been a busy past couple of months for Bibi. His first grandson, Shmuel, was born. Here he is at the bris during the week of Sukkos.

And of course, there was his speech at the U.N. just about a month ago when he told everyone there they were a joke and a sham for letting Achmadenajad give a speech and for continuing to condemn Israel.

Then today, on his birthday, he was subjected to a meeting with U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice who "told Israelis on Wednesday that it is not enough just to pay "lip service" to peace." Whatever.

Here he is crushing Mitchell's hand and getting ready to punch him in the face earlier this month at another stupid meeting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIBI!

Thanks CG. I love your comments!

Congrats to Netanyahu.

That being said, there isn’t the slightest doubt in my mind that Putin will try to make sure Netanyahu has as few more birthdays as they can manage.

Syria and Iran have gotten the green light. Hezbollah has been moving scuds into Southern Lebanon.

War is coming. Proxy states don’t do that sort of thing on their own. They get a green light first.

Putin..., put the light down. Pick up the red one.

It won’t hurt. I promise.
