This is getting worse by the minute. Boehner's plan backfired and Bibi's soon will realize he was used by the SOTH as a pawn. What a fiasco.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered "nothing new" in his much-anticipated speech to Congress, suggesting that the Israeli leader failed to articulate an alternative strategy to halt Iran's attempts to make a nuclear bomb.

"On the core issue, which is how do we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon which would make it far more dangerous ... the prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives," he told reporters during an appearance with new Defense Secretary Ashton Carter.

"We don't yet have a deal," Obama noted of the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which Netanyahu vehemently opposes. "It may be that Iran cannot say yes to a good deal. I have repeatedly said that I would rather have no deal than a bad deal. But if we are successful negotiating, then in fact this will be the best deal possible to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Nothing else comes close."

Ok folks, back to OP discussion.

She was right though. Diplomatically, this visit is a complete disaster for Israel and for all Americans.

Oh, the trauma!

“The prime minister didn’t offer any viable alternatives,” Mr. Obama said after the speech at the start of a meeting with his new defense secretary, Ashton B. Carter. He added, “The alternative that the prime minister offers is no deal, in which case Iran will immediately begin once again pursuing its nuclear program, accelerate its nuclear program, without us having any insight into what they’re doing, and without constraint.”

Mr. Netanyahu’s address, by far the most anticipated speech to Congress by a foreign leader in many years, drove a wedge between Democrats and Republicans. While he was escorted into the chamber by a bipartisan delegation of lawmakers and greeted with raucous enthusiasm, especially by Republicans, more than 50 Democrats skipped the event. Representative Nancy Pelosi, the party’s House leader, called his speech an “insult” to the United States.

There might just be a chance for progress without the blowhard in charge.

Hard to get rid of a bad penny. I suspect this will not be the last time we see Netanyahu. If his party fails to get enough votes to force a unity government with him back in charge, he will probably have a lucrative career lobbying Congress for AIPAC and making the rounds on Sunday morning news shows.
