Reuters, AP Editorialize With Photos, Both Choosing To Release Photos of Netanyahu Caught Mid-Arm-Sweep So It Looks Like He's Giving Nazi Salute

I'm sure they just thought these photos were nice.

So, apart from saluting the German Reich (according to neutral reporting agencies Reuters and AP), what else did Netanyahu do?

Well, one thing is he displayed a picture of a bomb and indicated how close Iran is to achieving a nuke:

He drew the red line to indicate that Iran needs "Red Lines" imposed on them, lines that they must not cross. Something he's been pleading for from Obama, and is of course not getting. Because Obama has more important things to discuss with Barbara Walters and David Letterman.

Netanyahu argued that Red Lines do not cause war, they avoid it, by clearly telling a hostile country what steps it cannot take if it wishes to avoid war.

The media insists on calling Netanyahu's display "cartoonish" (and then they chuckle, "literally cartoonish."

Oh, like yoouuu! You're too cute. You get over here, g-friend. Let's look at some shoes!

More on the speech, from Breitbart.

“The Jewish State will live forever,” he said defiantly. “The Jewish people have come home. We will never be uprooted again.”

Netanyahu then attacked the battle of ideologies that has culminated in the current standoff with an Iranian regime bent on destruction of Israel. The battle, he said, was “modern versus medieval.” “These forces clash around the world,” said Netanyahu. He added that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas’ “libelous” language about Israel did not forward the peace process.

Then Netanyahu got to the meat of the matter. A nuclear-armed Iran, said Netanyahu, would be analogous to a nuclear-armed al Qaeda. “Given this record of Iranian aggression without nuclear weapons … imagine them with nuclear weapons,” he said. Diplomacy, Netanyahu noted, had failed. More than that, diplomacy had granted Iran an additional period to complete its nuclear development.

I think it's pretty clear that Obama has decided that Israel, the US, and the world will have to/can live with a nuclear armed Iran.

And if a country or two is nuked... ah well. Such things happen.

He just hasn't said so. He needs "flexibility" for his actual foreign policy. The thing he gets after an election.
