Yeah so maybe
the US and Israel
aren't besties anymore
but as is his way
even though fifty Democrats
skipped Netanyahu's speech altogether
Obama was gracious
threw only the slightest of shades
and gave the biggest understatement
so far in 2015.
"I think it's important to realize the depth of
the US-Israeli relationship."
"The military and intelligence cooperation is unprecedented.
That bond is unbreakable."
"When George W. Bush
initiated the war in Iraq
if they had invited
let's say the President of France
to appear before Congress to criticize
or to air those disagreements
I think most people would say
'Well that wouldn't be the right thing to do.'"
