While the NYTimes smears Hillary, CNN critiques Netanyahu's speech. "What Netanyahu left out."

At the top of the list of questions the Prime Minister failed to address is how such a scenario in the wake of "no deal" would actually make Israel safer?

As Rice said: "Here's what's likely to happen without a deal. Iran will install and operate advanced centrifuges. Iran will seek to fuel its (plutonium) reactor in Arak. Iran will rebuild its uranium stockpile. And, we'll lose the unprecedented inspections and transparency we have today."

If no deal that the United States and five other powers actually might strike with the Iranians would be acceptable to Netanyahu, how does he propose to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat?

He spoke about ratcheting up international sanctions against Iran and keeping them in place until Iran ceased regional aggression, sponsorship of terrorism and threatens to annihilate Israel. But years of extraordinarily tough sanctions did not persuade the Iranians to abandon their nuclear program or prevent them moving it forward. Neither did cyberwarfare or a series of assassinations of Iranian scientists.

Why the GOP Congress is a Disgrace

"But while this shutdown crisis is scary, what is even scarier is that this dysfunctional governing style is becoming a pattern with the Republican Party. The Republican Congress seems more intent on bickering with itself, pushing an agenda to help special interests and catering to the most extreme wing of the party, than working for the middle class.

These last two months have been a disgrace, a disservice to our country, and the American people won't soon forget what a reckless disaster Republicans in Congress have turned out to be."

2. here is how Netanyahu will deal with Iran

The same way the Israelis always deal with any of their neighbors with whom they have a disagreement. Israel will attack and claim the attack is a form of pre-emptive self defense.
This is exactly how they dealt with Iraq when that country was developing their nuclear program. No regard from Israel for International Law.

People who actually research the history of Israel rather than accept the simplistic Israeli explanation cannot avoid the conclusion that Israel has no interest in peace. Constant war allows Israel to continue to steal territory while simultaneously playing the victim.
