WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration’s dispute with Israel over Iran intensified Wednesday, even as Secretary of State John F. Kerry prepared to visit Capitol Hill to ask lawmakers to hold off on new sanctions that could disrupt pending international negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program.

One day after the White House warned Congress that new sanctions could begin a “march to war,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back, declaring that the choice was not between sanctions and military action.

“There are not just two possibilities on the Iranian issue, a bad deal or war," Netanyahu told Israel's Knesset, or parliament. “There is a third possibility -- and that is continuing the pressure of sanctions.”

Netanyahu, like many members of Congress, fears the White House may accept too lenient a deal, and he is urging stronger sanctions in hopes of making Tehran more willing to yield. He has strongly criticized the U.S.-led negotiating position, calling the proposed deal a “grievous, historic error.”

His tough tactics have set off a debate in Israel and among American pro-Israel organizations about whether it is wise for the prime minister to split sharply with the White House. Some observers say he should not risk being seen as trying to push the United States to war.

1. If Fibi wants to attack Iran then let him do it, but he can do it alone.

That is the end game. Make Iran's life so hard that they retaliate in some way and then there will be cries of "SEE! SEE! They are attacking us!"

What horse shit.

In addition, does Fibi have a few Congress critters in his pocket willing to side with him on this? I wonder where their priorities really lay to the people of the USA or a foreign war hawk?
