WASHINGTON – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a direct appeal to American voters on Sunday to elect a president willing to draw a "red line" with Iran, comparing Tehran's nuclear program to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and reminding Americans of the devastating repercussions of failed intelligence.
His remarks were an impassioned election-season plea from a world leader who insists he doesn't want to insert himself into U.S. politics and hasn't endorsed either candidate. But visibly frustrated by U.S. policy under President Barack Obama, the hawkish Israeli leader took advantage of the week's focus on unrest across the Muslim world and America's time-honored tradition of the Sunday television talk shows to appeal to Americans headed to the polls in less than two months.

Agreed. We should listen to him. They are right on the front lines in having to deal with radical Muslim madness.
Thank You TigersEye.
You are very welcome.
I honestly do not know.
I know
Romney loves America, obama does not. It is really very simple.
Does he love Israel enough to draw the line, that is the question?
No, sorry the question does Romney have the stones to draw the line, I do not know.
Bibi is my hero.
Fair and Balanced my a##.
Just how much of Murdoch's "conservative" FoxNews is owned by the Saudi's, these days. Seems like that story just faded away...
There is no doubt in my mind. Romney and Bibi are personal friends. If you look at some of Romney’s national security staff, they have a deep understanding of Islam’s evil nature. Secretly, I have a feeling Romney detests the ‘religion of peace’
Netanyahu knows something about world history that Obama has failed to learn.
The Roman Republic has been the only government in recent world history that knew exactly how to deal with barbarians such as now inhabit the Muslim world. The barbarians of Carthage threatened Rome, so the Romans went to Carthage, killed all the male population, put the women and children into slavery, destroyed their cities, and then strew salt upon the land so it would remain infertile forever.
The total destruction of Carthage guaranteed peace for over a thousand years within the Roman Empire, as any of Rome’s barbarian neighbors knew what happened to Carthage would happen to them if they ever threatened Rome. It was only when Rome became too civilized to do what was necessary to survive and attempted to deal with the barbarians using diplomacy and tribute that they didn’t survive.
Netanyahu knows World History, and he knows the only way to deal with his barbarian neighbors and survive is to turn Iran into another “Carthage.” Anything less and Israel will cease to exist.
If Obama believes this is too harsh and we should deal with these barbarians with diplomacy and tribute, then I believe our country has become too civilized to survive in a world where barbarians possess nuclear weapons and we will not survive.
Any nation that becomes too civilized (soft) to do what is necessary to survive, as our country seems to have become, does not deserve to survive and will not survive.
We will find out in the November election what the future holds for the American people.
He needs to say it.
If he continues to hold back, he will lose the election.
Thank you for remembering the Bibi Picture Rule.
I wonder what effect this will have on Jewish voters.
No, sorry the question does Romney have the stones to draw the line, I do not know.
Yes Romney does love Israel and Bibi knows it. IMO Bibi also knows that Romney has the "stones" to do what is necessary.
They have known each other for some time.
Holy crap, that’s cool!!
I agree... Bibi needs our prayers.
Did you hear that Iran just upped the bounty on Salman Rushdie’s head?
State sponsor of terrorism anyone??
*** attempted to deal with the barbarians using diplomacy and tribute***
Probably the best description of our ME foreign policy I have seen.
I get the feeling that some Jewish voters in the USA have turned their back on Israel. Why, I don't know but I suspect they are life-long Demoncrats come what may.
God Bless Prime Minister Netanyahu.
You'd think they would take note. But, I don't understand their undying support for democrats in the first place. Doesn't make any sense.
