"routed and humiliated"
Reader comment on item: Obama vs Netanyahu, Round Three
Submitted by Peter Herz (United States), May 28, 2011 at 09:30
Yes, Obama picked a fight--albeit a verbal and political one--with the Israelis and wound up "routed and humiliated". He should have taken a warning from a lot of other guys named Hussein who picked fights with Israel at various points in the 2d half of the 20th century.
