May 20 (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a "frank and cordial" conversation before he came to Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said on Friday.



But Toner declined to confirm a New York Times report that the two had a "furious phone call" in which the Israeli prime minister drove home complaints that President Barack Obama has pushed Israel too hard to make concessions to the Palestinians.

More “frank” than “cordial”, I’d wager.

“frank and cordial” in diplomat speak means “i had my ass handed to me” in regular language.

So this is about a UN vote to take place in September... and BamBamKennedy and his liberal crew are giving advance notice what the US vote will be come September?

Well the UN establishing a Palestine state would be cause for concern. I just did not realize the vote was on the UN calendar. And BamBamKennedy's speech from the State Department seems like a global preemptive strike before Netanyahu could meet at the White House. It certainly is going to be an interesting summer.

You win the chicken dinner. The none is making his legacy stick for sure. He “broke” the impasse as only he can do. Incompetently.

Israel is a sovereign state, which cannot be forced to accept a peace that cuts into land its already won with the blood of its people. Britain, France and Germany will have to vote with Israel and the U.S.

Prime Minister Netanyahu carefully articulated Israel's expectations for peace and those expectations are both reasonable and clear for any sovereign nation.

Well nothing about this mess creates an appetite. But up until the 'Donald' gave this toddler in chief a bad case of diaper rash, NOTHING seemed to phase him. He had the face of the stone sphinx and other than telling the Republicans from the beginning he 'won', little else has caused his head to bobble. (Course that would be due to nearly every spoken word out of his mouth has already been programmed for him to speak.)

Since he sent his lawyer to get himself a birth certificate he has been all over the place, bobbling here and there. Week or so plus after he spent a couple of weeks crowing about his OBL kill a press release comes out about a 'big' speech to be coming. One thing about this administration nothing gets leaked, that does not in some way serve his personal/official interests. So the purpose of this big speech was to put Netanyahu on notice as to what to expect when he arrived in WDC.

So basically this speech comes from the State Department - Hillry's world, and it is tied to an upcoming vote at the UN. I am not seeing incompetence as in unintentional... I am seeing quite competent as in purposeful deliberate destruction. Or complete disruption of the world order.

You really think that BamBamKennedy would stick his skinny neck out on a line unless he already had the final outcome predetermined. Now right now at least France and Britain, somewhat Germany, (I think they would be the wild card), are NOT happy with Libya, and so IF they expect NATO or US to continue in that effort they are going to have to be willing to pay to have US play their side.

(We) the US is a Constitutional Republic and that sure has NOT stopped this bunch from willingly and purposefully ignore its laws that protect our sovereignty. Of course Netanyahu does not have to accept a 'peace', but that sure will not prevent the UN from doing whatever it decides to do.

As Rush says, he’s worse than we thought. He’s created a period in American, if not World history, that’ll be remembered for a long time, if there’s a world to remember. The none isn’t making these decisions nor is Soros. They are just targets for our wrath. Until we can agree on the cause of our ills we can’t cure it. Sites like this are awesome put are impotent because we never pin down the enemy and make them pay.

Personally speaking the 'one' is only the utter of the words programmed for him to speak. Marxist have never been a unit of 'one' but a coalition of commissions that serve their 'system' the state. Any civilized society is made of pillars of institutions, political, economic, educational and religious. The left has during the course of this nation's history filled the ranks from the bottom up of its adherents. And that Constitutionally established press evolved into the entertainment functionary, is the beauty of this beast.

“they are just targets for our wrath”. Wouldn’t the Saudis fit the bill?

Anytime you see the word anti-semite, you can be sure at least 50% of the time, it’s a job recruitment ad for the state department.
