The headline appears to conflict with the story.
Exactly. But gone are the days when FReepers scrutinized sources, read articles before commenting, or even heaven forbid engaging the brain, before posting.
How? In the past American leaders have met with the opposition. Netanyahu requested a meeting, GWB opted not to meet. That's pretty much what the headline says.
While I do think the headline is a little overkill, not meeting with Netanyahu is still somewhat of a snub IMO.
Netanyahu stands a very good chance of being Israel’s leader again. Getting his input would seem to be a wise thing to do. And if he is dead set against this peace initiative, it is not only a very important opinion, it is imperitive that our President listen to him, and weigh his opinion very heavily.
Netanyahu has a military background and knows it is better to negotiate peace if there is any basis to do so. He is not a warmonger. He is a realist. We ignore him at the risk of doing severe damage to Israel, and our own interests in the region.
