According to NPR and the Obama Administration, there is this mad dog, this political careerist, Netanyahu by name, who apparently arranged the whole speech business (in this version, Speaker Boehner was merely a pawn of this diabolical figure), who opposes ANY agreement with Iran (even though that diabolical figure has said repeatedly that he wants an agreement, will support an agreement, that does exactly what the Obama Administration originally said it would do — prevent Iran from becoming capable of producing nuclear weapons), and who has the gall not to refuse to come, once he had accepted Speaker Boehner’s invitation, when President Obama has let it be known that he regards this as an “insult.” Insult it may be, but if your small country faces a mortal threat, because of the inability of a mighty power to conduct negotiations properly, failing to realize or exploit the great and permanent weakness of the party with whom it is negotiating, then the leader of that threatened country has not only a right but a duty to present his case to Congress, the only part of the government, the only body in the world, that might conceivably force the Obama Administration to come, nolens-volens, to its senses, if only to avoid the ridicule of everyone of sense.
But Netanyahu is not alone. Throughout the military and intelligence establishment of Israel, the clearest-headed, those not motivated by anti-Netanyahu personal spite (and there are some of those, whose back-stories are not known to the general public), agree with his assessment. He is not alone. He is not a mad dog. He is not “a gentleman in a dustcoat trying to make” us hear — he’s not always a gentleman, he has no dustcoat — but he is trying to make us hear.
