If I could vote for multiple choices to the 3rd question, I’d pick the 3 that have votes now. I think he did all 3 – he gave us new content, he told us of O’s deceptions (while graciously “praising” him at the start), and he made clear Israel is now at the end of its rope.
Bibi and his senior officials have expressed even more urgency on Iran in the past couple weeks than ever before (and I didn’t even know that was possible after all these years of warnings).
Israel may be willing to wait a few more weeks until the next “deadline”, but the talks have always been and always will be an exercise in futility.
I fully expect Bibi to win reelection handily, and soon thereafter, the war will commence.

It was an historic speech, a great speech. And while it won’t change the minds in the Obama camp or “say anything new”, it did promote the issue to the American public, which largely was unknowing of the situation. Riding the subway in nyc today, it was amazing to see how many people from so many walks of life were voraciouslt reading about it.
What the speech did was, or at her, what the added scrutiny that obamas shenanigans brought, was draw a larger audience into the discourse.

Aside from Israel, I think the American people realize we have a huge score to settle with Iran and direct confrontation is inevitable. A hell of a lot of American families are missing a loved one at the hands of these murderous bastards. Forty years is a long time to leave this behavior unchecked and most folks understand this.
