#1 Earnest added that the B.O. regime was reserving judgment about the invitation until it had a chance to speak to the Israelis about what Netanyahu might say.

The most transparent administration in history requires a read-ahead from an ally and congressional guest speaker? What happens if the regime is provided a read-ahead, and the senior White House advisor and Iranian apologist does not agree with the content ?

#2 it seems their intelligence [a]gency is as full of bright ideas as ours

If they did, heads will roll---they're not an independent fiefdom like Besoeker's Klingons.

#3 Netanyahu should give them a read-ahead.

If the administration disagrees with the content and refuses entry to Netanyahu the content of his speech will be made public anyway.

The administration however would openly put itself in the position of an ally of Iran against Israel. Bad politics in the US!

If the administration lets Netanyahu in then Iran will perceive this as Obama giving tacit approval. This will fuel distrust and suspicion between the Mullahs and the White House.

A win-win for Netanyahu.

#4 Anyone remember when Queen Nancy went to Syria, Gazoo, Israel,Etc... while Bush was President? She tried to do a little more than give a speech.

#5 'Protocols' include bowing to the Saudi king and Japan's Emporer to show US deference to all..(except of course any Isralie). It's in the Constitutions unwritten section.

#6 Skipping protocol isn't near as damning as skipping laws, et tu Barack?

#7 Protocals, eh?

So I guess when Calderon spoke before the US Congress and blasted our immigration laws, lampooned that our drug use has no tie to their drug supplying, and blamed the entire US population for the Fast and Furious Program arming drug cartels...

That was completely according to protocal.

Did y'all get a preview of that speech there Chuck?

#9 Not having to meet with either of these foks is definite plus for Netanyahu. An open and intelligent conversation with either would be impossible and quite frankly, disgusting.

#10 TFG, with his executive orders, suddenly concerned about protocol.

At least he doesn't have to put up with unwanted sexual advances from Kerry this way.
