Pandering to US vanity and war mongering against the Iranian "Nazis"

[Nancy Waterman]

That was the speech, imo. He started with a bunch of nauseating pandering. Then he essentially compared the Iranians to the Nazis and to the ancient Persians in the time of Esther. He gave no alternative to the deal, but one would assume given the enemy he described, it must be war. Anything else would be too weak. He complained about Iran influencing Baghdad, but did not mention that he and his neocon allies created that mess, with his last spate of war mongering. And his presence in Congress with all the cheering was just repugnant.

1. Reminded me of Bush/Cheney back in the day

when they were trying to drum up the Iraq war. it was the same "let's all feel really threatened and really angry" meme.

2. The only plan is war...everyone knows it, no one speaks it..no plan but war...horrible speech.

Super childish speech meant for Israeli consumption, as planned all along....

Since Israel has injected itself into anti-Obama American politics - coddle no complaints of America injecting itself into Israeli politics. Turnaround is fair game.

And since it is election time in Israel, excellent timing.

3. I'm so sick of

teh stupid.

OK, then YOU go and fight, yourselves, hawks. Send your OWN sons and daughters. Then we can talk. Leave us sane people out of your violent delusional fantasies.

It occurs to me, our culture has been NURTURED on violence. So many movies, TV shows - all about violence. Mother's milk for a sick, hypocritic society.

4. How many times did he pull the Nazi Card?

In a shameless ploy for sympathy, Netanyahu did everything but hug an homeless kitty in an attempt to bolster his election prospects back home.
