Netanyahu Calls the Shots
To get Netanyahu to halt further Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Obama has offered:
In return, the Obama administration has offered Israel a package of security incentives and fighter jets worth $3 billion that would be contingent on the signing of a peace agreement, the official said. The United States would also block any moves in the United Nations Security Council that would try to shape a final peace agreement

And Eric Cantor has
"told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday during a meeting in New York that the new GOP majority in the House will "serve as a check" on the Obama administration, a statement unusual for its blunt disagreement with U.S. policy delivered directly to a foreign leader."

Does this seem right? Who's calling the shots here?

1. A 30 million dollar a day bribe. Meanwhile the music programs in your local school districts are...
...being cut because there just ain't enough money to go around.
