I don't know that he didn't give this speech, but he DID NOT ADDRESS THE U.S. Senate today. I am there and it didn't happen. They have been debating the energy bill all day. Don't any of you watch C-Span? Perhaps he made these comments elsewhere. AdR

"If we do not shut down the human bomb terror factories that (Yasser) Arafat is pioneering today, they will surely, as the light of day, reach the United States with greater and greater devastating force,"

Netanyahu said before members of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday in Washington.

Netanyahu, who also met senior members of Congress, warned the United States that unless the practice of suicide bombing was eradicated in Israel it would eventually spread to America and other Western countries.

Speaking at the National Press Club, he said there could only be a military solution to terrorism and that there could not even be a military solution if Arafat, whom he accused of creating a "culture of death", remained in power.

Netanyahu said Arafat could not be relied upon to keep any cease-fire agreement he signed with Israel. "Arafat is beyond deterrence. He is in fantasy-land. Because he cannot be deterred he has to be dismantled."

He accused the United States of seeking what it realized would be just a temporary cease-fire in Israel only to gain Arab support for attacking Iraq to oust President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

I believe he spoke at the National Press Club today.

I beg to differ with you. He spoke to the Senate at 11;10 ET. CNN carried the speech. Maybe you just missed it.

You are exactly correct. Netanyahu addressed "some Senators" in a committee hearing room. Every news item I've seen has said that "he addressed the Senate". That's Bull $hit.

I don't know how many Senators were present but I'll do a search and find out. I saw the preliminaries (maybe on C-SPAN) and John Kyl and one Democrat were there. As far as I know, they may have been the only Senators in attendance. Except for the nine Jewish Senators.
