Israel will fight Iran alone, if it must. That is the striking message Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered to a joint session of Congress, garnering thunderous applause and numerous standing ovations. The historic speech rebukes the appeasement foreign policy of President Obama. It recalls the battle of Chamberlain versus Churchill in the 1930s, with the appeaser quickly being overtaken by world events. In a similar vein, in the blink of an eye, leadership of the Free World passed out of Obama’s hands and into the capable and commanding grip of Netanyahu. The speech was delivered following a weekend banner headline featured on the Drudge Report citing a Kuwaiti newspaper that reported Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets in 2014 if they attacked Iranian nuclear facilities. Netanyahu was forced to cancel the planned military strike in light of these threats, according to the report, “Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike.”
The White House has denied the report which unfortunately doesn’t prove it isn’t accurate. But one can only imagine the dread and horror Israeli leaders felt if they were forced to ponder the once unthinkable: America, our most stalwart ally, stands in the way of our ability to defend ourselves from our mortal enemy.
Faced with the growing possibility that Obama will strike a deal with Iran that will allow that rogue nation to come dangerously close to obtaining nuclear weapons — weapons that could obliterate the Jewish homeland — Netanyahu had only one last hand to play to save his people. He came to America to drive a public wedge between Congress and the president.

Well, yes, but... unfortunately America cuurently has no president.
Right-We have the ‘Bystander in Chief’ or whatever you want to call him.... but he ain’t no ‘President’!
Yep. Another example of a foreigner doing a job we can’t find an American to do. Namely, being Leader of the Free World!
The House gives Bibi standing O’s during the speech but back to doing nothing to scuttle the Iran deal a day later.
FU Boner

“PUTZUS”
Obama is the nemesis of Bibi. Israel Prime Minister is a great world leader that loves and defends his people, while Obama is a mediocre and incapable resident of the White House who despises the American people, and the U.S. Constitution, and who do not lose any opportunity to demean his country every time he travels around the world.
Well said.
we’ve had many American presidents, D and R alike, who’ve made good speeches, some maybe as good as Bibi’s, some less oratorical but nevertheless helpful to USA..even rallying us when necessary
but now that we have our IllegalImmigantInChief,
all he can do is read his programmed IslamoNazi and communist propaganda off TOTUS
alas. not quite the same thing
please pray for America. we (and the rest of the world) have to get through 2 more years of this krap
I took it to also mean that Israel has nukes and won’t hesitate to use them
I miss the rule of law, and I miss having a real president.
