The Prime Minister of Israel spoke to both houses of Congress today. The President and his administration, along with his Democratic party friends, were apprehensive about what Netanyahu was going to say. Their fear was justified. The Prime Minister was very clear with history on his side that Iran could not be trusted in any deal made with other nations to not develop nuclear weapons. Given the stated elements in the President's deal with Iran, it is equally clear that the plan does not prohibit Iran from building nuclear weapons. The President's best argument for his plan is simply "It's the best I can do." The Prime Minister was direct in saying that the President's plan is not good enough for Israel.
I'm an American citizen and I don't think the plan is good enough for America either.
Immediately after the speech, I heard Democratic representatives personally attacking the Prime Minister, charging him with being condescending, political, and theatrical. I swallowed hard. For the last six years that is all I have heard out of Democrats and the President against us in the America. I don't go along with their idea that "we have to pass it before we can see what's in it" anymore.
The President prides himself on his shrewdness and his personal swagger to be a modern day "James Bond" for international intrigue. He truly thinks he is smarter than the United States defense and intelligence communities, the Congress, the American people, and of course Israel. The President is mistaken. His haughtiness and pride are world-class and will eventually seal him and his legacy as the worst President to ever serve this nation in the office of President. He will most likely receive this title even before he leaves office.
Israel really has no choice now. They must rely on the God of Israel to protect them. The Commander in Chief of the United States, the ally of Israel, cannot figure out who the enemy is and he is a coward. America won't be there to help Israel.
Valerie Jarrett, the President's closest advisor, who is Iranian born and a Muslim, has done a spectacular job for Iran.
