Why would Israel want to send their head of state to meet with Obama after how he was treated recently? Both Biden and Obama are foreign policy slugs who have certainly tarnished the image of the White House with their bullying techniques.

Obama is foolish to think he can stop Israel from wiping Iran's nose with nukes,...and not giving it a second thought. It's easy for Mr. Arrogant to sit in the Oval Office,...he doesn't have to deal with the daily security issues, daily bombardment, and daily suicide plots from every border like Israel.

Like it or not folks, Israel is the ONLY friend America has in the Middle East. Lose that one friend and what is left is one big America-hating terrorist training ground.

Is that why Obama left Bibi to go have dinner with his family.

That's precisely why Obama left to have dinner. He has nothing to contribute and he doesn't have the upper hand, therefore he resorts to petty schoolyard games to make a statement. Personally, I find that to be terribly embarrassing for a United States President to act like a 16 year old drama queen.

As President Obama has never visited Israel, America's most staunch ally in the Middle East. Obama has visited many countries in the area but not Israel. Obama did send the man-child, Biden, who embarrassed himself and our nation.

On a recent visit to Washington Netanyahu was humiliated by Obama,...left to sit while Obama "had a meal with his family", and then escorted out a side door when he refused a list of demands by Obama's administration. So please tell me why Israel's state leader would even consider attending a function hosted by Obama? Netanyahu is sending a capable representative,....he's just not attending the summit in person.

And what a friend she is. With friends like that we don't need enemies, but that's precisely what our relationship with Israel has delivered--one big American-hating terrorist training ground.

Staunch ally?

How many Israeli boots were on the ground in the coalition against Iraq?

They seem to be more staunch spectators who are happy to sit and watch the US fight for them.

You must realize the politics for the reason why Israel DOES NOT engage in such things. Didn't in the Gulf War, didn't this time around.

That would have put the neutral arab and muslim nations in a bind.
