How odd that Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu needs to come to Washington to find a standing ovation.
That's what he'll be getting when he addresses the AIPAC policy conflab in Washington this week. In fact, I expect that his speech will be punctuated with multiple standing ovations.
That's not something Bibi gets a lot of back in the Holy Land.
In fact, he's pretty much a lame-duck at home, engulfed in one scandal after another. His brand of crony leadership and petty corruption is getting more than a little stale with the voters.
But in Washington he'll get a hero's welcome. He will get standing O's when he compares the Iranians to the Nazis. He'll get a standing ovation for invoking the holocaust. He'll get a standing ovation for threatening to start a new war in the Middle east.
He'll get those standing ovations from American's who don't live there.
Meanwhile, recent reports estimate that somewhere between 200 and 600 thousand missiles are ready to be fired at Israel in the event of an attack on Iran. Those figures came from Israeli sources and are perhaps exaggerated a wee bit. Lets assume there's only fifty thousand...
Iron Dome will stop a few dozen.
