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.

I sure am praying, ync!

When Bibi was elected, I sensed God's hand in countering what had happened in our disastrous election here. HE is in control!

Surprise, surprise! Uncle Bibi has come to visit the District of Criminals to teach the King Zero a lesson.

Wouldn't that be a wonderful happening....but I am sure the ...Politicians won't allow anything to slow down the games in the Capitol...

Washington says there should be no negotiations

I don't understand -- did YOU insert 'no' into the quote? The original article did not, yet you are accusing the leftwing contagion of not believing we can read.

Please 'splain to this dummy

The first article is a blog post by a left wing nutjob. HE added the “no” when the WHOLE premise of his rant was that Bibi HAD stated exactly the opposite.
He changed the most important quote and then proceeded to make an ass of himself, because if you didn’t read the original interview, HIS post made it sound like Bibi and bam were in full agreement making the point of HIS rant sound insane.
He is stupid.

The two quotes:
Netanyahu: I think the Palestinians have to recognize that Washington says there should be no negotiations without preconditions.

“I think the Palestinians have to recognize [that] *Washington says there should be negotiations without preconditions.

His first. No makes a difference.

Apparently Bibi did not get the memo that the Obama administration has consigned all Jews to His ghetto called Israel. This is where Jews are held to be attacked and killed by rival anti-semitic communities.

No Jew is allowed to leave that Ghetto without his permission.

Yes it is striking. The media used to poinnt these things out, but now we have to do it for ourselves.

Yes, Obama has put the USA into decline internationally. The question is not whether our nation will be attacked, but when.

No, when applied to liberals “reserved” is the media’s way of saying “clueless.”

Actually, I’d love to see the Mossad file on B.O. and his origins. I harbor fantasies of Israel exposing it for the world to see—at a precise, opportune moment.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Bibi met with Rush. B.O. would be so hoppin’ mad, no telling what he would do.
