Press release from Eric Cantor's (R-VA) office: "Eric stressed that the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Administration and what has been, up until this point, one party rule in Washington...He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other."
When Bibi visits Washington, he swans around like a Roman general touring a recently conquered province. This is why. Of course, the Democrats are no better. No president or politician aspiring to the presidency has shown nerve on this issue since Bush 41 and we know how that turned out for him.

You might be interested in Richard Cohen's article today on Hillary's role in the middle east talks. I don't care for Cohen that much, but he wrote an interesting column. Washington Post today.
