This Is Why Obama Missed Netanyahu's Speech Today

Tyler Durden's picture




 

By far the most important geopolitical event of the day, as straight-to-C Span-poluist-pandering as it may have been, was Israel Prime Minister's address to congress, in which for nearly one hour the Israeli leader bashed Iran, stopping just shy of fabricating even more evidence about how close Iran is to developing a nuclear weapon. Yet one person missed everything including the standing ovation at the end: president Barack Obama. As it turns out he had more important things to do, such as the following.

What exactly is Obama doing in the photo above? As Politico explains, "Speaking in the Oval Office with Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, Obama said he was unable to watch because he was meeting with European leaders via video conference." A meeting in which the western world brain trust was discussing what... how to best confiscate the funds of broke Greek pensioners to fund the broke US puppet government in Kiev, so they can pay their bills to Gazprom for one more week using the IMF as a conduit?

Whatever the greater purpose, Obama had nothing but disdain for his Israeli peer's proposal, or lack thereof.

“On the core issue, which is how do we prevent Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon, which would make it far more dangerous and give it scope for even greater action in the region, the prime minister didn’t offer any viable alternatives,” Obama said, adding that he had looked at the transcript and saw “nothing new.”

It got so bad, Obama himself took a swipe at Netanyahu's fabrication of redlined "proof" before the UN general assembly:

“Keep in mind that when we came to the interim deal, Prime Minister Netanyahu made almost the precise same speech about how dangerous that deal was going to be,” Obama told reporters, according to a pool report. “And yet over a year later, even Israeli intelligence officers and in some members of the Israeli government have acknowledged that in fact it has kept Iran from further pursuing a nuclear program.”

And then the whole thing went first downhill when for some inexplicable reason Nancy Pelos decided to get involved, issuing a bizarre statement:

“The unbreakable bonds between the United States and Israel are rooted in our shared values, our common ideals and mutual interests.  Ours is a deep and abiding friendship that will always reach beyond party. Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli people.  The state of Israel stands as the greatest political achievement of the 20th century, and the United States will always have an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.

 

“That is why, as one who values the U.S. – Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.

... and then positively surreal when Lindsey Graham decided to redirect entirely from the topic at hand and to focus on Pelosi's countless plastic surgeries:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) apologized for mocking House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s physical appearance during a closed-door fundraiser following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.

 

While noting that she had appeared irritated on the House floor, he speculated that she had undergone plastic surgery, Bloomberg View columnist Josh Rogin reported Tuesday.

 

Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor. Complete disgust,” he said, according to the Bloomberg report. “If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust.”

Leading to this...

and then this...

 "I made a very poor attempt at humor to talk about [Pelosi’s] reaction, and for that I apologize," Graham was reported as saying.

And so on as both the executive and the legislative devolved into what they are best known for around the globe: a constant source of humorous embarrassment, made possible due to the Mr. Chairmanwoman "getting to work" each and every day for the past 7 years, and making the "job" of America's elected representatives one of simply focusing on trading on inside information, pretending to pass laws, and to belong to either the ideological "left" or "right" when in reality all the muppets in Congress do is get richer, working on behalf of none other than Goldman Sachs.

Why doesn't Obola just ship a few of our nukes with instructions to Iran. That is what he wants and what the end game is in all of this. He is a muslim sympathizer and clearly wants Iran to have nukes to counter Israel. What happens next should be intresting.

What is a Muslim Sympathizer?

Why do you sympathize with ZioNazi who are worse than Nazi Germany and who killed 3000 people on 911  using 19 Arab patsies??

With the level of hated spewing forth on all sides by all parties from their writings on the internet, it is easy to see why the experts predict WWW III is here or is coming…

Hating injustice is GOOD

Israel thinks they are above the law and thinks killing people because those people don't like having their land stolen is okay because THEY are the CHOSEN PEOPLE and MASTER RACE.

And lots of retards here support them.,

If we had inspirational leaders who worked for the best interests of the people you would see less hatred being spewed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looked out over the gathered members of Congress today. "You are my harem," the Israeli leader said, "and I am your sultan. I could pluck any one of you out and bring back to my tent, adorn you in silk, and ask you if you're grateful that you get the privilege to suck the sultan's cock. You, there, Senator Tom Cotton, part your lips and smoke the cream pipe of paradise. Darrell Issa, your tongue looks ready to wash the leathery folds of the sultan's orb sack. Don't crowd, my concubines. I will bless each of you when my jism geyser is ready to erupt. Each of you will receive the gift of the sultan's pearls on your faces."

The concubines were joyous, especially because the sultan would be showing that foul Moor who presumed to lead them the proper way to take care of a harem. "The sultan thinks we're special," declared the oldest, scabbiest concubine. "I hope he is most pleased with how we pleasure him."

I love reading the new kids.

They're like emos who stop taking their meds, start snorting bath-salts and turn into face-eaters. It seems their sole mission in life is to come from Crazytown where they used to hang out and cram as much ignorance as they can in a short post.

Mission Accomplished.

+1  Waking up is hard.  Dutchy has alot of facts correct but has fallen to the old divide and conquer.  

Anyone who blames an entire race or religion still has a long ways to go.

When you learn that you have been lied to all your life, these types of breaks occur.

The Israelis have the balls to go after Iran, but they know that war is expensive and they value Jewish lives.  That's why they want the US to go to war for them, spending US treasure and blood rather than their own.

I had co-workers listening to Bibi on CNBC... I had to step out because it was so nauseating.

Barry sitting this one out may have been one of the first actions of his presidency that I can actually get behind....

So all you ZioNazi supporting sons of bitches think Israel should attack Iran?   Who hasn't attacked anyone in 250 years .

I hope Iran doesn't make ANY fucking deals with the Useless Snakes and Israhell.  They are proven liars, aggressors., thieves and bullies.

The USA will break ANY deal if they think its their advantage.

Iran should stick with the BRICS and tell that Mullato Monkey and whoever is successor is  (most like another neocon bastard) to go pound sand.
