This man is in the United States for the specific purpose of wrenching control of US foreign policy from the hands of our elected president and the Executive Branch of the federal government.
He does not shrink from saying that this attempt is all about his country and what he imagines are its interests and that he does not care if the interests of our country are damaged by his efforts.
A large number of retired and former officers and officials of; the IDF, Israeli intelligence, Shin Bet and the Israeli police have written to Natanyahu to advise him to cancel his address to Congress because it will alienate many Americans through its blatant interference in US Government.
A sub-set of that group have also written to Natanyahu endorsing the opinion of the US Intelligence Community that Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003.
I strongly urge members of the SST community to write or call their US Senators and members of the House of Representatives to urge them to BOYCOTT Natanyahu's speech. pl
Yes, indeed. There was no mistake involved. It was deliberate, with intent to destroy.

A-M: "Mistakenly" was in the original. You noted, I hope my dismissal of the idea. P-L

Makosog,
The wrongness is in the manner and purpose of the invitation. Whatever tactical reason Boehner did it for,
the effect is to try rewiring the basic mechanics of Federal Government operation. And Netanyahu is happy to serve Boehner's spite-based anti-Obama agenda in that regard. Boehner's act of sedition gives Netanyahu to try subverting our administrative branch Iran policy at this sensitive juncture of negotiations.
