From the article: ...the president, Secretary Kerry, and all the rest of the team were hoping that the one country that gets more ink than any other and that has proven so malleable in the past would prove so again and agree to another self-destructive deal. But Prime Minister Netanyahu has remained steadfast, refusing to turn over more land to the Palestinians whom, he is convinced, will turn it into another Gaza-like terrorist launching pad. Moreover, Bibi has the temerity to publicly contradict the president and declare repeatedly that Iran, the second-most wicked government on earth after North Korea, cannot be allowed to be a nuclear power. Its centrifuges must stop spinning. Having been humiliated by Iraq, Russia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria, the president needs an Israel-Palestinian deal and an Iran deal. But Bibi, the little Chickensh**t, just won’t budge. It’s infuriating. The insult is a curious choice. If there’s one association you’d think the Obama administration would not wish to draw to itself is cowardice. This is, after all, the administration that has been stared down by Vladimir Putin, drawn red lines in the sand by the tin-can dictator Assad that were promptly violated, and watched helplessly as an American ambassador was slaughtered on sovereign diplomatic soil. At times it’s been almost painful to watch Vladimir Putin mock the most powerful man in the world and get away with it.
