BONEHEAD BOEHNER

House Speaker Boehner Makes Traitorous Move Inviting Netanyahu

House Speaker John Boehner, has secretly set up a speech date with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel to address Congress on the issue of the on-going negotiations with Iran over their nuclear plans. Neither Bohener of Netanyahu bothered to inform the White House. Bohner's evident purpose is to embarrass our President, and to undermine and pressure him to abandon or alter his policy regarding negotiating with Iran. The people did not elect John Boehner to make policy or to dabble in foreign policy, or to undermine established objectives by placing unwarranted obstacles in the President's path. Furthermore, Boehner is disloyally siding with a foreign leader (over his own President), a leader (naturally) with ulterior motives. Netanyahu is soon to face his own electorate. While Boehner's actions are an attack on the clear, well-planned policies of our own President and State Department.

What has become of protocol? What has become of the unwritten rule that as Americans we speak with one voice when we address foreign policy matters beyond our borders. Boehner's actions undermine the U.S.'s world leadership, our relationships with our allies, and our well considered and long thought out strategy and developed policies for dealing with Iran. Netanyahu has only his own domestic knives to sharpen in our Congress and he does so at our nation's expense. Mr. Netanyahu, the beneficiary of American support, both fiscal and political, is unwisely meddling in US domestic politics, something every Israeli would object to were the tables turned. Mr.Boehner is foolishly aiding and facilitating him in this matter. The American people will rightly resent and ultimately take umbrage with Netanyahu and his unwarranted intrusion, particularly if his meddling leads us into another unwanted war in the Middle East. Mr. Netanyahu's actions are those of a foreign leader and are, as such, understandable, Mr. Boehner's actions, the third highest elected American leader, are more than just questionable and unwise....they are downright disloyal and traitorous.
