++The Onion put it in perspective this morning. "Iran worried that the United States is building its 8,500th nuclear weapon." The article raises concerns about the United States invading anywhere it wants and that it might provide weapons to rogue states.
++I don't no whether Josh Marshall was getting loopy with the nutty DHS debate or what. He has a post "Grand Bargain". Obama will meet with Bibi Netanyahu. In exchange Bibi will use his clout with GOP House members to get DHS funded.
++From Israel, we learn that Israel is directly asking Congress to add $300 million to President Obama's budget request for an upgrade in Israel's missile defense.
++The United States Senate is drafting legislation that President Obama must submit the full agreement with Iran to the Senate within five days of its completion and that President Obama can not do anything about sanctions for 60 days afterwards.
++Robert Kagan, that Robert Kagan, writes in the Washington Post that Bibi's speech sets an awful precedent. What if Congress had invited Oscar Arias to speak to Congress to criticize President Reagan's Central American policy? Or during the Poppy Bush administration during the fights within Israel, Congress invited the Israeli Prime Minister. Kagan's point is that history provides ample opportunity for Congress being controlled by another party than that of the President and do we really want to invite foreign leaders to attack a sitting President?
