The administration is trying to finalize a nuclear deal with Iran that it knows the Israeli government is not going to like. The quotes in Goldberg's article could be a part of an effort to portray the Israelis as recalcitrant, unappreciative, or needlessly belligerent, in full knowledge of the rupture in relations — and political controversy inside the United States — that will come with the Iran deal Obama's team currently envisions.

Interestingly, Goldberg's article came just a few days after one of the administration's top Iran negotiators laid out the goals and parameters of this eventual deal. On October 23, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman addressed a forum on the Iran nuclear negotiations at the Center for International and Strategic Studies in Washington. The administration must have known that the Israelis could not have liked what they heard.

Sherman conceded that the negotiating process has been difficult, and promised that Tehran would never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. But she explained that the current negotiations have a more technical and more limited objective than that: "Our goal now is to develop a durable and comprehensive arrangement that will effectively block all of Iran’s potential paths to fissile material for a nuclear weapon," she said. "Such an arrangement would bar Iran from producing fuel for a weapon with either uranium or plutonium."

The apocalypse cultists won't be voting for Democrats, and those Zionists who would vote Republican because of Bibi's hurt feelings are a lost cause. Bibi practically endorsed Romney in 2012, and it didn't save him either.
