*****************************

While Barack Obama was sharing fine teas and cakes with the Queen of England and Kate Middleton in London today, hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu swooped himself into a long, colorful address to a joint session of Congress. Everyone loved the guy, especially Republicans! Is there any sort of waiver or whatever that they can give him to run for the U.S. presidency? Some would hope.

It's an interesting speech to watch if only for the manner in which Netanyahu delivered it. The whole time he's leaning both arms on the dais, cracking jokes, telling old war tales — it's like grandpa moved into the Capitol Hill attic apartment and makes you stick around for pontification sessions each time you trek up the creaky stairs to bring him his fresh-squeezed midday lemonade.

And the fireworks! A Palestinian protester interrupted the speech at one point, and was immediately booed, subdued, detained, and finally drowned out by loud congressional applause. Bibi celebrated this moment as a proud exercise in free speech. Well, sure? Check it out in the clip up top.

i heard a clip of the speech on the radio.

Netanyahu is a skilled orator.

to the un-educated, he really does make Israel sound like a Dream Democracy in the mid-east.

but i was going to title my thread, the Faces of Evil.

Netanyahu gets the lead-spot, with Obama riding Side-saddle. like Tonto and whoever that cowboy guy was on TV.

the Face of Evil so often comes with a big smile.

like a dog or rat showing its teeth.

given Israel's authorship of 9-11, to return to the crime victims' legislature and make wild claims about what a wonderful democracy Israel is - this is way beyond anything that occurred in Roman times.

'US lawmakers forced to support Israel' (http://presstv.com/detail/181231.html)

Sun May 22, 2011
Former US lawmaker Cynthia McKinney says every candidate for Congress has to sign a pledge to vote for supporting the military superiority of Israel.

“Every candidate for Congress at that time had a pledge. They were given a pledge to sign ... that had Jerusalem as the capital city,” McKinney said in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.

“You make a commitment that you would vote to support the military superiority of Israel that the economic assistant that Israel wants that you would vote to provide that,” she added.

McKinney said that if a candidate does not sign the pledge or perform accordingly, “then you do not get money to run your campaign.”

The former Congresswoman said that after she made the pledge issue public “the tactic changed.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassal

A vassal or feudatory is a person who has entered into mutual obligations to a lord or monarch in the context of the feudal system in medieval Europe or elsewhere. The obligations often included military support and mutual protection, in exchange for certain privileges, usually including the grant of land held as a fiefdom. The term can be applied to similar arrangements in other feudal societies. In contrast, a fidelity, or fidelitas, was a sworn loyalty, subject to the king...

Mongol vassalage

The Mongols during the Mongol Empire period created vassal states out of cities they wanted to conquer. A chance of a city and country becoming a vassal was more possible if the city surrendered to the Mongols beforehand. Then they would be required to send tribute and goods to the Mongols to show their submission. If a city resisted, the chance of becoming a vassal was much reduced and would result in the Mongols destroying much of the city. Also some cities surrendered beforehand and pledged to give tribute in order to not fight war with the Mongols. The Mongols would also install ambassadors and tribute collectors in the city to collect the tributes in a timely fashion. If the tributes stopped or didn't arrive in the agreed to timeframe, the Mongols would attack.
