Dems Are Afraid That Netanyahu Is Right About Iran
Radix News ^ | February 21, 2015 | Liz Harrison

Posted on 02/21/2015 1:00:50 PM PST by george76

Congressional Democrats are getting a little uncomfortable in the bed they’ve made for themselves when it comes to Israel, and the latest round involves a letter that’s been addressed to Speaker of the House John Boehner. They are requesting the Speaker put off the speech from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until after the negotiations with Iran have expired. Of course, that is the primary reason why Netanyahu wants to speak with a joint session of Congress in the first place. Israel has the greatest stakes in the negotiations with Iran, but have been making accusations that the U.S. is freezing them out of the negotiations.

...

Perhaps the Democrats that are so incensed by the concept of possibly having to alienate Jewish constituents that may not support them in the future if they do not show up for Netanyahu’s speech should have done their homework on Iran before starting this.

...

Iran’s supreme ruler has clearly stated that he is determined to see his nation get everything – nuclear weapons to destroy Israel, and an end to the sanctions from the west. The truth probably is that the Democrats are worried about the possibility of Netanyahu convincing not only their colleagues in congress, but also the American voters that there is no way to win negotiating with Iran.

Democrats/”Liberals” are afraid of truth in any form.


Exactly. They survive only on lies and deception.

I think that you will not be disappointed. Think Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech.

Obama will loose it after Netanyahu speaks. He can barely contain himself now. It’s going to be fun to watch him squirm and fume.

I got to know Yuri Bezmenov when I worked for a conservative think tank. I’ve been knowledgeable of such things for a long time.

I'd choose River Forest and Elmwood Park. The idea being that if you want to target the Obama Puppeteers, the focus should be on the Outfit...

One stroke, and the Cook County Machine is headless.

For certain.

We’re seeing it before our eyes and it’s only beginning.

Nonsense is correct. The American Jews are liberal democrats first. If this administration bombed Israel, they would still vote for a third term for this bozo.
Also, if they Mossad has anything on any of our leaders, I wish they would release it!

Democrats need to show up for Netanyahu’s speech. If democrats do not show up for the speech, then they hate Jews as much as Obama does.

Wonder how many news networks will tow the presidents line, and now televise the speech.

I don't think he is scared of what might be in Mossad's files. However damaging it would be in a normal presidency it will be only an irritation now. The only political action that can stop him from taking power completely and finally now is impeachment and removal in no more than a month. That would bring the military against him if he tried anything sudden in that period or upon conviction. That is totally hypothetical, of course, because what we have is a Democrat President and Democrats and Republicans who would do the impeaching/removal. One must hypothesize some respect for the Constitution in the Democrats and some backbone and respect for the Constitution in the Republican leadership

I wonder how serious the Sultan is in preventing the Israeli PM from speaking to Congress. If he is quite determined then it won’t happen. There will be an incident of some sort.

We’re talking about people who are driven by religion first. Obama isn’t dealing with politicians no matter how they structure their government. The mullahs pull all the strings. What Iran has is what ISIS wants. They are not going to make political decisions but rather choices they feel inspired to make. You cannot negotiate with those people. They don’t believe in negotiating.

"They survive only on lies and deception"

And to them truth is anathema and those who speak it are "extremists".

These are times of universal deceit.

“The truth probably is that the Democrats are worried about the possibility of Netanyahu convincing not only their colleagues in congress, but also the American voters that there is no way to win negotiating with Iran.”

Giuliani are we cannot sell out to Iran like Chamberlain sold out to Hitler.

Congressmen shouldn’t be so concerned what voters think as the long term consequences. Even if voters didn’t listen to Netanyahu’s speech, doing the right thing doesn’t change.
