• Netanyahu says he's open to 'painful compromises' for peace

  Tue May 24, 2011
  • Netanyahu lost credibility last time he was here beating the Iraq War drums - ironically, the singlemost Iran-empowering event of the last decade. I do not see him as an effective champion of Israel interests nor wise advisor on US interests.

  • What I found most gripping - was watching the troops in the live feed online as they waited for the speeches. They were so pumped ... after all this time, all these thankless hours of training, tasks and risks. It was awesome. Just awesome. Good for you President Obama. This was so needed.
