Netanyahu talks tough in Obama Iran meeting............from Dan Friedman

Here’s a link to a BBC story with two embedded videos of Obama and Netanyahu in the Oval Office delivering introductory remarks before their closed-door meeting today. When you compare the two, Obama emphasizes his strong support for Israel is something Netanyahu can rely on, while Bibi reiterates Israel’s right to defend itself, by itself without asking for Obama’s permission. For very different reasons, the resolution of this contradiction will be the defining moment for both men and their countries.
