Reuters: Obama, Israel's Netanyahu clash over Iran diplomacy

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu clashed over Iran nuclear diplomacy on Monday on the eve of the Israeli prime minister’s hotly disputed address to Congress, underscoring the severity of U.S.-Israeli strains over the issue.

Even as the two leaders professed their commitment to a strong partnership and sought to play down the diplomatic row, they delivered dueling messages – Netanyahu in a speech to pro-Israeli supporters and Obama in an interview with Reuters – that hammered home their differences on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Update: Obama, Netanyahu face off ahead of speech to Congress -- CNN

WNU Editor: They do not see eye-to-eye on how to curtail Iran's nuclear program, and while President Obama is correct when he says the following .... Barack Obama: Iran nuclear deal will not destroy Israel relations (The Telegraph) .... relations between the current White House administration of President Obama and the current Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu are in "the toilet".

Jay .... I am limited by time so I could only watch the first 15 minutes. I will be watching the rest this weekend. But it is a gem, and seeing Burt Lancaster narrating .... a bonus. At the end of the European war my father was based about 20 kilometers west of Berlin .... and he was told that he was going to be shipped in September to Manchuria for the campaign against the Japanese. He and everyone else obviously did not go want to go .... and he was super relieved when he heard of the atomic bombings because he knew then that the war would end before he got there.

WNU Editor,

No problem,

There is an entire series, I could only find four with out looking deeply.

The series isn't completely accurate, for example, we know now that Marshall Zhukov ran the show, and started the Plan by having factories ship armour, weapons and aircraft east, during the last months of the war in the West, so that everything was there for the attack, prepositioned, except for the men.

Zhuchov post war, fell afowl of Stalin, and until the 80's, was partially written out of history.
