A pie-eyed new American president who's rather wobbly on foreign policy and insists on sweet-talking Iran.
A stiff-necked new (again) Israeli prime minister who's neither wobbly nor utopian.
An Iranian mullocracy bent on achieving nuclear capability -- while openly declaring a desire to wipe Israel off the map and not giving a hoot for America no matter who's in charge.
No progress on internationally pressuring Iran to stop its nuclear ambitions.
I suppose this is the predictable result: "Netanyahu to Obama: Stop Iran -- or I Will."
Uh-oh. And I'm pretty darn sure that Netanyahu means what he says and will actually do something if push comes to shove. "Stop Iran -- or I will" isn't as much a threat as a promise. Well, OK, maybe it's a gigantic bluff. But I don't think it's just hot air.
Anyway, expect also a mountain of international criticism to fall on Netanyahu's head for saying what he said -- even as Iran pushes ahead with impunity.
