Netanyahu humiliates Obama again
The Obama administration's attempts at seducing Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, are getting embarrassing. Netanyahu has made it very clear he is not interested. According to Ha'aretz, the latest (and most cringe-worthy) moment in the saga came this week when Dennis Ross, the president's top adviser on Israel-Palestinian issues, convinced Obama that Israel would only agree to an extension of the settlements freeze if Obama would "come off as friendlier" to Bibi. So Ross and his aides (working with the Israelis) drafted a letter to Netanyahu in which the US would give Israel everything it could possibly want in exchange for a two-month freeze. The details of the letter were revealed by researcher David Makovsky on the website of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Xymphora: "Netanyahu Humiliates Obama Again". Dennis Ross, Israel's lawyer, said to Barry, 'let's give Bibi everything he could possibly want and present it on a silver platter, all in return for a few more weeks of the phony settlement freeze'. Barry said 'great, but could we make a it a solid gold platter, as I'd hate for my Jew-bosses to think I'm stingy'. Bibi took a big dump on the solid gold platter and sent it back. Obama is going to be the first American President whose official portrait will have him wearing a brown-paper bag over his head.
