But the article I've linked to didn't include the statement from your OP, so there must be another article, and I'd like to have a link to that as well.

Netanyahu got a lot of right wing support from the GOP for his speech to Congress, and a thread last March on DU provided links to statements of support for Netanyahu from Cruz, Walker, Jeb Bush, Rubio, Carson, Santorum, Huckabee, Perry & Trump.

He has many mouthpieces/puppets he can use to parrot his opinions from within the U.S. - I think of them as collaborators in the Quisling tradition. So it's not a simple matter of the State Department trying to muzzle Bibi.

'Tough sell' in Congress

The agreement also faces hurdles within the US political establishment, with comments from both senior Republican and Democratic senators on Sunday suggesting that any deal would face tough scrutiny in the US Congress.

Republican lawmaker and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the deal will prove a "hard sell". "It appears as if the administration's approach to this was to reach whatever agreement the Iranians are willing to enter into," he told Fox News.

And congressional approval may prove key to implementing the deal – the Senate voted overwhelmingly in May to pass a bill giving Congress the right to review, and potentially reject, any agreement that US diplomats conclude with Iran.

"The president has extensive authority under the law to provide sanctions relief to Iran as part of a comprehensive nuclear agreement," said Larry Hanauer, a senior international policy analyst at the RAND Corporation. "Nevertheless, Congress can take a range of steps to facilitate, hinder, or even block the executive branch's efforts to relieve economic sanctions."
