Washington caught off guard by Netanyahu visit
Ynet ^ | 10.25.09 | Yitzhak Benhorin

Israel says PM did not consult Obama ahead of trip because meeting on peace process unnecessary.

WASHINGTON – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intention to visit Washington for the annual UJC General Assembly has surprised many on Capitol Hill and was apparently not coordinated with the Obama administration.

An American source told Ynet Sunday that news of the visit had been received with reserved astonishment.

The Obama administration has not yet responded to questions of whether a meeting with Netanyahu was forthcoming due to their surprise over the unscheduled visit. On the other hand, failure to invite Netanyahu to the White House may be perceived as a diplomatic crisis.

Sources in Jerusalem say Netanyahu did indeed decide to attend the GA without first consulting President Barack Obama, but that since the latter would also be present at the event the two may meet in any case.

The sources say a summit between the two leaders would be superfluous at this point in the peace process, and for this reason an official meeting has not been scheduled.

An official statement regarding Netanyahu's visit is scheduled to be published soon in the US, and an unofficial oral announcement has already been given by the Jewish Federations' leaders. The prime minister's visit is scheduled to take place on November 8-10.

THEN I would call White House Protocol and tell them that the meeting was off, that I was on the throne with a bad case of diarreah and "tell the President, maybe next time."

Nah. Call the White House Protocol office, cancelling the meeting. When asked why... say that Bibi had something more important to do.

When asked what that could possibly be... say that he was too busy talking with responsible people to meet with an @ss.

"Bibi went to MIT"

He also graduated from Cheltenham High School, outside Philadelphia.

I believe author Patrick McManus (Field & Stream) refers to it as the "modified stationary panic".

I was envisioning the 'deer in the headlights' look on Zero's face when someone broke the news...

While he’s here, perhaps he can meet with Sarah Palin.

What an absolutely WONDERFUL thought!!!!! I can just see Bambi's head turning beet red and steam coming out of his ears.

That’d actually be a good idea... as she’d probably jump in front of a moving bulldozer to become the next libtard pancake.

Well, then he’s safe from Obama. Considering Obama is mortally repelled by the FOX news’s mystic powers of newscasting. (kinda like a vampire vs. sunlight thing)

Is Obama going to say the same things he did about the Iraq bombing? That this is "hateful and destructive"? Just curious.

This is the best news I have read in a week.

Bibi knows he will have to lead the fight for freedom and does not want any more distractions from the wee-weenie golfer and b-ball playing resident in chief. Waffle eating arugula creep. Avoiding an answer on Afghanistan because he sees no personal gain in it.

Anyway why would they want a muslim to come to their meeting?
