A senior Israeli official suggested on Friday that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu had been misled into thinking an invitation to address the US Congress on Iran next month was fully supported by the Democrats.

Netanyahu was invited by the Republican speaker of the house, John Boehner, to address Congress on March 3, an invitation Boehner originally described as bipartisan.

The move angered the White House, which is upset about the event coming two weeks before Israeli elections and the fact that Netanyahu, who has a testy relationship with President Obama, is expected to be critical of US policy on Iran.

“It appears that the speaker of Congress made a move, in which we trusted, but which it ultimately became clear was a one sided move and not a move by both sides,” Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi told 102 FM Tel Aviv Radio on Friday.

3. Both parties are trying to walk it back....

but you can't put toothpaste back in the tube

[Chemisse]

4. Nice try.

I wonder if the voters in Israel will swallow this.

6. I suspect this is for them

7. Thats a two-fer one

Throw Boehner under the bus while blaming Democrats. Nice maneuver.

[procon]

8. Are they going to take turns throwing each other under the bus?

The Stupid Party better resembles a SNL comedy skit of a lunatic asylum sideshow filled with bumbling idiots than a Party capable of actually governing the country. Now that their imbecilic stunt has backfired, they deservedly find themselves skewered on their own petards.

9. Well that is delish

10. Then why not reconsider his response with this new information?
