Probably his preparations to attack Iran was 99.9% complete and suddenly this new turn of events made him look like a fool.
Benjamin Netanyahu Visits the White House to Press Against U.S.-Iran TalksOnly days following a phone call between President Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Obama met his Israeli counterpart Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House Monday morning. Obama's first visit to Israel last March was paved in smiles, a charismatic offering to demonstrate U.S. commitment to security in Israel. But Monday's visit in Washington was far from courtesy: the most pressing item on the schedule was undoubtedly Netanyahu's discontent with the new diplomatic advances between the United States and Iran.
The direct conversation between U.S. and Iran's leadership was the first between the two countries' leaders since diplomatic relations were cut off in 1979. The historic moment marked Iran's interest in re-engaging with the West. Not surprisingly, however, the moment was far from welcomed by Netanyahu, calling the latest developments a "smiley campaign" Iran was using to court the U.S. into a tempting relationship.
