"It didn't take 24 hours for President Obama's duplicitous stripes to show after Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party victory. Reeling from the sting of failure to corral Israel's liberal and Arab voter base behind his retreat strategy for the encircled nation, Obama immediately floated Plan B-United Nations running interference.
Par for the course (pun intended), the president falls back on making an appeal for international support for an agenda that he knows the American people will not approve . . .
Should Obama take the route of attempting to compel Israel's capitulation on a hostile Palestinian state by approaching the UN, Congress would have a powerful countering voice. As a separate but equal branch of government, Congress has already demonstrated its continued support for Israel's survival in the midst of virulent regional opposition.
Obama's end-run around both Israel and Congress is also evident in his rush to cement an obviously detrimental deal with Iran. Experts have made it plain that once the economic sanctions are disposed there will be nothing left to leverage against Iran forging ahead with their nuclear program, nor will reinstatement be possible."
