Israel is the problem.
Why are we so concerned about Israel?
All meetings come with some sort of baggage as thsoe engaged are trying to push their agenda.
Now here's the thing: Netenyahu is no dummy. He know which side his bread is buttered on.
Romney made the mistake of thinking that Israel would not stand by Obama in 2012. He was wrong.
And all the baggage you can create is not going to change that.
Oh knock off the warmongering talk, Bibi. Everyone's sick of it.
Carrots and sticks will turn Iran aside from nuclear weaponization and even support for Hamas and other such groups. Iran wants those international sanctions lifted, and they appear willing to deal to make that happen eventually.
The Israelis have some legitimate concerns. We, as a fellow democratic country that follows the rule of law, should listen.
I hope this time he will not try to lecture the POTUS. A good friend always come to leverage his self interest in time of crises. One should remember he also appeared in the middle of our presidential election to steer up things. I am sure he will have a fan fair with his GOP sponsors to drill the chance for peace.
