If Bibi Netanyahu thought he could advance his ideas about the 'Iran danger' and torpedo Barack Obama's agenda of a two-state solution with Congress, he must have been rudely awakened. Having watched CSPAN's 33 minute video of the press conference held between the two heads of state on Monday night, Netanyahu was dripping with compliments over Obama's leadership, support, friendship, ad nauseum. Not once did he mention the word 'state' when referring to peace with the Palestinians. Surely this escaped no one.He knew he was going to be in for a rough time with the President. But in years past, Israeli presidents, including Netanyahu, had been able to go to the Hill, and rally members of Congress to Israel's side. Especially during the last eight years, when the Republicans and their neo-cons enjoyed a majority status. However, there has been a changing of the tide in D.C. with the election of Barack Obama. And in case Bibi had not noticed, the democratic majority Congress is marching in step with its president as far as what they expect to see happen in Israel. Thus, AIPAC can now stop congratulating itself on the smear campaign of one Charles Freeman, as apparently, it did not serve them to win the war, just a tiny battle.
