Okay it is back and forth with the Netyanyahu Visit to the US....Democrats are up in Arms--so to speak...and they will rebutt his speech (before he gives it)..They will contend that Netanyahu's government failed in the Nuclear talks with Iran to stop the process of Iran making enriched plutonium for long range missles....And a news paper out of Bethlehem Ma-an stated that Israeli jets had planned a raid on a Nuclear plant, but that President Obama had threatened to shoot down Israeli jets before they could--so that thwarted the mission and it was cancelled. So it's no love lost between Netanyahu and Obama.
