Greetings, tres borrachos. :2wave:
Who knows? They need to have a reason to be offended by his visit, I guess, but he was invited to come!
Howdy Polgara. The elections weren't the only thing on Netanyahu's mind, to be sure. But they damn sure were a part of it. Thankfully though, the anticipated gains didn't come through. You're correct that he was invited, and as such that he did nothing wrong. Oh sure, we might have hoped that he'd have had the temerity to decline the opportunity to come to America, stand in the halls of congress and accuse the American president of "paving Iran's way to a nuclear weapon" but it would have only further frustrated the frustrated. And obviously, his preface aside, that sweet juicy peach was too irresistible.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress helped bring about a modest boost for his Likud party, according to polls sponsored by Channels 2 and 10 that were broadcast Wednesday night.
Hopes in the Likud for a major gain and in the Zionist Union for no change at all were both quashed.
