House Leader To Invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu To Address Joint Meeting Of Congress

[Purveyor]

Netanyahu is visiting the United States next month. Boehner says he'll make the invitation after Congress approves a resolution for a joint meeting of the House and Senate.

Netanyahu last spoke to a joint meeting of Congress in July 1996.

Boehner says the U.S. and Israel are the closest of allies and that members of Congress want to hear Netanyahu's views on that relationship.

2. Israel and the US are the closest of allies?

We sure as hell do a lot for them. What the fuck do they do for us besides provide us with headaches in the Middle East?

Bibi is probably over here wanting more since democracy in Egypt has brought in a regime that says an attack on Gaza and Egypt will open the border.
