The unfortunate return to prime ministerial power of Benjamin Netanyahu renders freshly disturbing his 2004 remarks anticipating eventual copulatory defeat for his co-religionists. Evidently unconsoled by a five to one head start, Bibi seems convinced that in the long run,...

Prez to Bibi: "I will shoot your shit right out of the sky"++BREZINSKI:go up and confront them
