25. It's a phrase nearly as old as Christianity itself...

... and Netanyahu spent enough time in the states to be familiar with it, and its intended meaning, i.e. we gotta have a serious talk about critically important matters, like NOW. I'm sure it was not lost on Bibi that using that particular phrase to convey the extreme importance of a serious talk, also softened the delivery with a bit of humor. Joe knows the game better that anyone. He chose his words carefully, I'm sure. I'm also sure that he's fed up to the teeth Netanyahu's cavalier attitude toward the harm inflicted on Palestinian civilians, who are also victims of Hamas.

LOL! That wasn't a mistake. Scrivener7 Mar 2024 #1
