Obama is speaking after meeting with Netanyahu

[thewiseguy]

He is saying he US supports the two state solution. Obama says Israel has an obligation to stop settlements. He says there is no reason to impose an artificial deadline in respect to Iran.

Netanyahu does not look too happy or pleased.

1. I'll bet Obama told him off

that's why he looks pissed.

2. I think he wanted the US support for a strike on Iran but..

Obama told him that he would like to wait until the end of the year to see whether progress is being made.

They also are in clear disagreement over settlements and the Palestinian statehood issue.

5. I think NuttyYahoo wants to attack Iran now

Because if he waits until after their election, he might not be able to use Ahmadinnerjacket as a scapegoat any longer, and the distortion of his rhetorical statements about "the Zionist regime" will no longer apply to a moderate Iranian leader that will hopefully replace him.

3. Why are they still talking is beyond me.

:shrug:

These talks usually do not last this long.

4. maybe that's a good thing

6. Oh to be a fly on the wall while Netanyahu tried to put forth....

.... an argument to Barack Obama as to why the US should allow Israel to attack Iran.

Do you think the President was able to keep a straight face?
