Bibis head is going to explode any day now. Give him a gun and parachute and send him to Iran if he is so determined to attack them.
gregory provided a propoganda moment for the israeli prime minister. gregory should be american first instead of jewish first.
Hi David, Americans, et al: IRAN is in a defensive mode in acquiring NUCLEAR capability to counter ISRAELs ability to use their NUCLEAR forces as a threat and weapon of Mass Destruction against a non-NUCLEAR defenseless IRAN. If IRAN were to have NUCLEAR capability and they've had the opportunity many decades ago but have not, ISREAL will be reluctant and think twice about striking IRAN and vice-versa...INSURANCE for both countries and the rest f the NUCLEAR countries too...STALEMATE for all...globally...me theenks!!!
Supply bibi the briefcase that has the keys to launch Nuclear Missiles. He will take care of all the problems in America and everywhere else. We are lucky to see a world leader like him!! Bibi is the most truthful leader in history.
Netanyahu contradicted himself is the same segment. he says iran has not crossed some red lines set by western nations and then goes on to say they are uncontrolled fanatics. netanyahu wants the status quo with palestinians ans know a nuclear iran would require its non interest in peace to change. they would have to pay for their theft of arab land to form israel. ahhh the jewish sense of greed and self entitlement.
When will the American Press have the courage to expose Netanyahu for what he is? He says he can lead America around by the nose and the votes of Congress make it clear that is true. It is time to tell the truth about this bully and Israel. If the journalists don't tell the truth this time we will be in another war and they will have blood on their hands. The press loves war but Iraq should have made them think about what it means, who dies and why.
And Israel under bibi isn't controlled by unbelievable fanaticism? Bibi gov doesn't even acknowledge the systematic discrimination of Palestinians. Israel is an apartheid state, just as south africa and much of the USA was/is.
Bibi is not a fanatic. You lost your mind? He is a saint and more holly than the Pope.
Iran protected by Obama
You need to protect your head from Sunlight. Too much exposure might cause your head to explode.
Posters 1-3 disgust me. Misguided and ignorant fools who need to read and comprehend history to understand the current state of misaffairs.
“Iran guided by "unbelievable fanaticism" and Netanyahu's Israel by paranoid pursuit of invulnerability, territorial conquest and apartheid supremacist empire in, and beyond, the Mideast.
What US and its allies are doing to protect the Syrian people that are being
butchered every day by criminal Arab regime supported by Iran which is another criminal Muslim regime.
The answer is NOTHING.
US all mighty under Obama’s administration is capable of doing just NOTHING
So please don’t pretend to lead the free world ,US don’t have the carriage
to oppose the forces of evil like the Syrian and the Iranian regimes and all
their disgusting collaborators ,the Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
Take a look at what's going on with the fanatics in the Arab and Muslim world ,they
are willing to kill for a clip in YouTube so just give them the NUKE and they will blow-up everything including the US.
Iran's crazy leaders are talking all the time about wiping Israel, once they will have
the ability they will not hesitate to use the nuclear bomb .
USA must wakeup and get rid of those creazy regimes before it will be too late.
Israel is totally free to send off its own troops to fight foreign wars and pay the full cost of doing so all by itself, just as you are fee to join the IDF and fight right along side them.
I think that Israel's maniacal leaders are just looking to lure the world into another war as cover for it continuing its illegal theft of Palestinian land, but I think wold leaders overall now see right through Netanyahu and his lies.
BTW Iran never called for Israel to be wiped off the map, that claim has been proven to be totally false.
What US and its allies are doing to protect the Syrian people that are being butchered
every day by a criminal Arab regime supported by Iran which another criminal Muslim regime.
The answer is NOTHING.
US all mighty under Obama’s administration has become an impotent Giant which is capable of doing just NOTHING
So please don’t pretend to lead the free world ,US don’t have the carriage
to oppose the forces of evil like the Syrian and the Iranian regimes and all their disgusting collaborators ,the Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

David Gregory tried to accuse Netanyahu has having an alliance with Romney because he cant stand the fact that Netanyahu is not in the tank for Obama like he and all his one sided NBC-ABC-CBS associates are. Once again, the media trying to save Obama from himself. Get off the Romney "bus" David Gregory and just ask questions that expose both Romney & Obamas policies for what they are so we can accurately and FAIRLY judge them for ourselves.
Thats not going to happen anytime soon.
I've been wondering for years, why does no reporter in the US ever ask about Israel's nuclear program and why they did not sign the Non-Proliferation treaty nor allowed inspections. I believe Iran has signed the NPT and has allowed inspections? This discussion over Iran's atomic energy program for military purposes has gone on for over 20 years. Wouldn't you think that Iran would have the bomb already after so many years of working on it?
Ron,
Those are not important questions. Israel can hold anything. Why do you even ask what Israel has. Ask what Iran has. Jews are not fanatics and they are not violent or greedy. They are god's chosen people. They got license for doing anything.
NPT is "Nonsensical Propaganda Tools" Signing it has no meaning.
Israel has signed agreement with God.
I am a long-time viewer of MTP, and generally appreciate the reporting of David Gregory since he took over from the late Tim Russert, however I was really disappointed in David's insistence on the Prime Minister to make a negative comment regarding the President’s support of Israel in this morning's interview. The Prime Minister could not have been more specific in the response he had to give several times to the same troublesome question.

why didnt Gregory ask the Prime Minister his thoughts of the DNC denouncing all in which Israel stands and thye USA has supported under God? Just as golfgirl1030 stated!
David Gregory is an idiot. He would never in a million years press Obumer for answers the way he tried to with BBN.
David Gregory?? Have never heard such right wing journalism in my life. This is a direct attack on the administration during an election year and MSNBC should be as ashamed in its presentation of what is supposed to be objective journalism. Does this makes us look unified on world stage??? I wonder who's pulling D Gregory s strings!!!
Gregory harranges the PM to refute Romney's claim about Obama and you call it "right wing"? What a skewed perception of someone (Gregory) acting as Barry's shill.
In context the term originally designated traditional conservatives and reactionaries. Ah yes
Agreed! David Gregory is an idiot. I have never seen such an right wing attack on a news program that is suppose to be providing a bias point of journalism to the American people. His attack on the President was blatant and the executive producers have shown their allegiance to the republican party during the news program. And this make us look unified on the world stage? Sad excuse for a news program.
Obama: Inept.
Bibi: Most reliable and most honest and most trustworthy! Amen.
DAVID GREGORY, just showed his TRUE colors, Anti-PRESIDENT OBAMA, and TEA PARTY PARTIAL. Gregory just did MTP an incredible dis-service with this partisan right wing. I'm appalled at this session of MTP. PM Nethanyu indicated several times that the Administration of PRESIDENT OBAMA is on the same page as ISRAEL. Gregory's line of questioning is not "hard" journalism" as Gregory would like for us to believe. It is partisan and unprofessional. Gregory has proven to be a big disappointment. SHAME ON YOU DAVID GREGORY.
Peter King is absolutely right. Obama is and did throw Israel under the bus. i believed then and much more believe now that Obama is as much a Muslim as anybody in the middle east, period.
How big is that bus? You need a real big bus to throw a country under a bus.
Mr. Gregory, You were speaking to the Prime Minister of Israel and I felt that you were very disrespectful. Don't be one of the sharks in the ocean of the world sir.I watch your program every Sunday morning and enjoy the information gained from it. I would be interested to know if you would have been as disrespectful to Mr. Obama. Please keep your program unbiased that we (the public) might make good decisions from the information you report. We "The People" are still able to did this.
And your an idiot and need to read a book. Israel is country surrounded in a Muslim world and this has been ranging on for centuries. What do you war mongering right wingers expect, for us to ride in with guns blazing to kill more american kids! Your having flash backs of Kuwait and Iraq and mothers lost sons and daughters I don't see Kuwait giving us free oil and where are the weapons of mass destruction?? Stop being played. I guess you still think the civil war was over slavery! Idiot
sicofdems, you are so off base. You do realize there is a global war on terror. How do you fight a global war as an isolated country? David Gregory handed the republicans a talking point and a campaign ad bite by interrupting and being over zealous with the Israeli Prime Minister. Those interruptions of the Prime Minister were embarrassing. Peter King, sounds like the loud mouth bafoon, all too often the type you find in the republican party and their supporters.
The Middle East has been in turmoil for centuries, time has stood still for most of the masses that populate that region. Extreme poverty, lack of education, and no open media facilitates their leaderships ability to remain in power. Religion is what controls the masses, and drives fanaticism. The masses therefore can only believe that if those opposing Islam are eliminated all will rise from their despair to reap their intended rewards. Net net their is a large faction of Islamic fundamentalists/extremists/terrorists that want to destroy those that are not of like mind. If only a tenth of 1% (.1%) of 1.6billion people are fanatical that is 1.6million people that are committed to that end.
People in the US need to study history and economics to understand the world around them. Hitler rose to power by controlling the media and with only about 30% of the popular vote.
Well said History!!
wils you just don't get it. Yes Muslims have been fighting with everybody that isn't Muslim for centuries. That's why Obumers foreign policy, as seen through a true Americans eyes, is trash. Obumer could care less what happens to America. This is the reason for his policy against Israel. In case you don't remember from your history book, America and Israel are allies, not enemies. Israel needs America for protection from its surrounding Muslim world. I guess some people are just to blind to see.
Just as the Prime minister stated, this administrations policies are sound n respect to Israel. No, just in your un-patriot reference to the presidents name (you respect the position even if you don't respect the man) you have another problem with the president and you are to chicken sh*t to say it. Idiot
Boo-Hoo. Truth must really hurt. I have absolutely NO respect for OBUMER. And yes I do have ABSOLUTE respect for the office. Obumers in a position he can't handle. I saw it 5 years ago and still see it even clearer today.
What truth. Stop drinking that elephant piss and get sober.
I agree with several posters here. David Gregory tried to invoke a negative response from the Israeli Prime Minister. His interruption of the Prime Minister was ridiculous also. Mr. Gregory needs to keep to being a host and not drive political controversy. He over reached this morning in my opinion.
