It appears that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is trying to get the United States into another war.  He is now playing the Israeli Dick Cheney and clearly meddling in American politics.  You know, we have to attack Iran right away because the bad guys might possibly, someday get an atomic weapon. But, of course, Netanyahu is putting the squeeze on the United States to take responsibility for any hostile act against Iran.  He is griping about the “red line” America must draw and if Iran crosses it we will be obligated to join in the attack.  Fortunately, Obama and Hillary are not buying that crap no matter how much huffing and puffing Mitt Romney is doing to imply he would be Mr. Tough Guy and agree to comply with Netanyahu’s demands in a not-so-subtle grovel to the Jewish lobby. That, as we all know, is presidential campaign bombast.  Some people think Netanyahu is intentionally trying to get Romney elected.   One can dream so here’s mine:  Obama is re-elected, he tells Netanyahu where to shove his “red line,” Israel attacks Iran and Obama informs Netanyahu, “You’re on your own, Benjy, and, by the way, we’re not giving you three and a half billion dollars a year any more. Have a good day.”
