Frankly, I think both parties are out of control and have violated protocol repeatedly. I wasn't concerned about the invite or Bibi's acceptance (no one in their right mind would turn down an opportunity to speak to Congress about an issue of importance to their very survival). I have no problem with what Bibi did...........in fact, I wish our leaders had his chutzpah. Bibi's made his share of mistakes (who hasn't), but their can be no doubt about his commitment to his country and people. <br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-27312161440595407922015-03-04T21:49:04.935-05:002015-03-04T21:49:04.935-05:00At the very least Clubber Lang should have been ch...At the very least Clubber Lang should have been charged with manslaughter for Micky's death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-65879328908690675552015-03-04T19:58:33.566-05:002015-03-04T19:58:33.566-05:00Sanctions are effective because Obama has corralle...Sanctions are effective because Obama has corralled Russia, China and Europe to agree to them. Once we pull out of the negotiations they will cease the sanctions and the only remaining option will be war. The deal is all there is short of war. The deal however will keep the coalition together to enforce it. It isn't perfect but it is real politik. Israel is going to have to figure out a way to solve its Palestian problem in order to reduce tension in the region. These are dangerous times but Obama is probably right.

This speech was a political speech; it should have been made more than four weeks before the Israel election - or after the election. The treaty will not be signed in the next two weeks. We should have not bucked protocol by letting Speaker Boner invite a head of state; that is the President's prerogative. And regardless of who sent the invite; it should have not been done within the 30 days before the election.<br /><br />Cap Out ....<br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-1552285478805886612015-03-04T15:38:02.088-05:002015-03-04T15:38:02.088-05:00Wow.

I have no problem with reaching a deal with Iran, but it must include conditions insuring that Iran will stop sponsoring terrorism all over the middle east, stop threatening other countries (including Israel), acknowledge Israel's right to exist and prosper, and increasing Iran's breakout time. Anything else is blatant appeasement.<br /><br />Why is no deal better than a deal without the above assurances? Simple. Iran's economy is in shambles. Lifting sanctions will enable Iran to rebuild its economy, internal power, build its reputation and influence, and empower it to engage in far more ambitious activities in the future.<br /><br />I want peace as much as you do, but 36 years of Iranian history teaches us that the current regime is nothing short of murderous. We deal with them at our peril. <br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-30065190722669993572015-03-04T11:39:22.707-05:002015-03-04T11:39:22.707-05:00The whole purpose of Bibi's speech was for Isr...The whole purpose of Bibi's speech was for Israeli Domestic Politics.

His actions in seeking, and then accepting, an invitation from Boehner was a serious breach of protocol and even more important an injection of partisan politics into the Israel-US relationship. Remember this is the same guy, who in 1994 stood before Congress and advocated war against Iraq based upon the false intelligence Mossad provided the US that lead us to believe Saddam had WMD's<br /><br />He complains that the US is condescending to Israel. Well, would Israel even exist if it were not for the US? No. And in every time of need the US has been there. So we have earned the right to be a little condescending. But Netanyahu has not earned the right to be condescending to our President, Democrats and the American people in general in lecturing them as what they should do to protect our interests.<br /><br />The whole circus was a blatant attempt to interfere in US foreign policy and embarrass our President. His speech was used to further his own political agenda. Nothing short of war will satisfy him, and that requires American boots on the ground and planes in the air.<br /><br />Watch Israeli political advertising and see replays of him entering into the House chamber to a standing ovation as though we Americans are endorsing his re-election. This is just wrong. He only speaks for 27% of Israelis.<br /><br />I want all efforts short of war to take place before you put our sons and daughters in harm's way. Those who listen and respond to the drums of war should feel free to offer up your sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters, nieces and nephews to fight. I don't see many of my fellow American Jews, sending them, or they running, to Israel to join the IDF.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514637876618184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-17786616173152515142015-03-03T21:50:57.578-05:002015-03-03T21:50:57.578-05:00Rump.

The truth is there is no way for most of the legislators to know about half the bills upon which they are casting a vote. It is not that they are lazy. No. They are on the go 18 hours of each of the 4 days a week they work. (Most Fridays are for travel home.)<br /><br />It is not that they are not well intentioned. Each of the legislators are trying to establish a single agenda item for which they can take credit. The real problem is there is no real opposition party. Democrats have literally no power. All they can do is jump up and down an yell a little, but in the end can establish nothing without a Republican co-sponsor.<br /><br />Two bills stand out to me:<br /><br />A rollback on "Stand Your Ground" with this legislature? The right thing? Yes. Will it pass? Not likely. Especially the virtual repeal of §776.013 (The Castle Doctrine). Do you think the NRA will lobby against this? Uh yeah, duh.<br /><br />Really? Lifetime electronic monitoring of sex offenders. Here's a question to ask: who is going to pay for this, and what do you do about the homeless sex offender? Oh, I know, let's put them in prison until they have a home. Oops, when we let them out they will still be homeless. Brilliant idea if you are a friend of Rick Scott running a prison for profit and paid per prisoner, or you are just pandering. But it will look good on your resume that you voted for it.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514637876618184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-80736320731850444012015-03-03T10:28:23.198-05:002015-03-03T10:28:23.198-05:00The Q is in TallahasseeThe Q is in TallahasseeEye On Qnoreply@blogger.com
