Boehner invite to Netanyahu reckless; traitorous

In an extraordinary snub of presidential protocol, GOP House Speaker John Boehner played Chief Executive, inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress February 11. The invite is designed to undermine President Obama's efforts to secure a nuclear agreement with Iran in which US will trade ending sanctions for a verified end to Iran's real or imagined atomic weapons aspirations. Boehner, doing the GOP neocon and warmongers' dirty work, seeks to both embarrass the President and generate a veto proof congressional majority should Obama veto their Iran deal sabotage of new sanctions even as delicate negotiations are nearing fruition. Boehner, his neocon buddies, including the munitions makers making billions peddling their wares to Israel and any nation paying the price, want no US-Iran deal. Nether does Netanyahu and his Likud Party. They want Iran crushed so Israel stands alone as the only Middle East hegemon. That is their agenda, not ours. We shouldn't enable it. The US war party, not having their bloodlust quenched after two failed Middle East wars, thinks nothing of the risk they put us sane and scared citizens through. At his State of the Union speech, Obama briefly touched on this momentous, indeed, cataclysmic issue, saying a negotiated deal would secure “America and our allies — including Israel, while avoiding yet another Middle East conflict.” Boehner should eyeball his paystub: it's signed by Uncle Sam; not 'Crush Iran Ben'.
