Obama's AIPAC Humiliation
Are there no US taxpayers out there, unbesotted by religous fanatacism, who find it humiliating to have their national leader so obviously powerless and crawling before the Israeli lobby? Given that it is the US which funds Israel, and not vice versa, it is all very peculiar. Or is it simply that the US taxpayer funds Israel, but Israel funds US politicians, thus Israel is simply a de facto pimp in the diversion of taxpayers money into politicians’ pockets?We then have the very largely state owned Natwest Bank increasing mortgage rates on households whose real incomes were already falling, with all the media politely reporting that this is due to higher rates Natwest is having to pay for inter-bank borrowing. Which is to ignore the tens of billions free cash Natwest has received through first bailout then quantitative easing, and their recent access to effectively as much as they wanted from the European Central Bank at just 1%.

The tail visited D.C. to wag the dog once more.
I have a strange feeling that this time [TPTB] the powers that be told Bibi "not so fast".
There is too much at stake.
I think it tripped up over the dollar signs.Obama can't afford a war financially as well as politically. He certainly has no aversion to be being wagged by his sponsors. Galloway got it right in his speech above.
