Mark Perry, Al Jazeera: Netanyahu’s Congress invitation raises eyebrows among some US generals

Analysis: Top brass who have questioned Obama’s strategies don't want a foreign leader influencing US decision-making

WNU Editor: Israeli PM Netanyahu is not the first foreign leader to arrive in the U.S. to influence opinions and policies .... nor will he be the last. But when I read this article I said to myself that the U.S. is now dropping all pretext on being neutral on the upcoming Israeli election and are in fact trying their best to influence its outcome .... or more to the point .... the defeat of Israeli PM Netanyahu.
