Republican provocation continues as House Leader Boehner delves into foreign policy (usually a Presidential preserve) and invites Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to the US to address the House. Netanyahu wants to stop the pending deal the US and Europeans want to do to allow Iran some progress on Nuclear program. Iran says it’s peaceful only, Israel and some Republicans fear an Iran with the nuclear bomb. But then the US needs Iran to help fight ISIL and Al-Quaeda, and Obama is annoyed with the Boehner/Netanyahu move.
