I'm listening... you just aren't talking... hard to "hear" silence... Don't be silly. You made it clear that you didn't watch the speech, yet have decided there wasn't anything new in it. Clearly Pelosi heard something outrageous in it, or she wouldn't be acting this way. Of course, Pelosi IS a plastic-surgery addicted pin head, and perhaps what she heard was merely a symptom of her obvious mental deficiencies. So I can understand why you wouldn't take as a sign of Netanyahu breaking new ground. But if you haven't heard what he said, you've got no business making the statements you are, and you are clearly in the 'won't hear' camp. Another outright lie by you... I have said nothing of the kind... I said "So far, I haven't heard anything we didn't already know" based on what YOU said he said... I haven't heard a single sentence of the speech... I ASKED you guys to tell me something he said...

That's for me and my family to know... but a lot of things... things I've mentioned here before... nothing relevant to this thread topic... only a "title" given to me... and this topic ISN'T about me... But A.D., to borrow your use of a nexus, you opened the door with "you want to tell me what he said that this little ole farmer from Soso, MS didn't already know?..." Use it instead of the word "I" so you guys wouldn't accuse me of making it about me all the time... and what difference does it make... "I" "am" "a little ole farmer" here in Soso, MS... I remember meeting a SunSpotter face-to-face in Baltimore and upon seeing me with my AT&T baseball cap on said... "You really do work for the phone company"... I guess he thought I was someone of more importance...

Go actually listen to the speech if you don't want to be accused of refusing to hear.

I asked for something that we didn't already know... and I did acknowledge your comment... saying it was only his opinion... and you acknowledged that acknowledgement with criticism of what I said... as in "There are none so deaf as those who will not hear."I have several ways of analyzing things... sometime it's to ask questions about what someone else thinks about something before I form my own opinion when reading, seeing, or hearing something myself... My actions do speak for themselves... and they say I'm right... I still haven't heard or read the speech... have you?...

Some posters don't give links since as teachers, they would prefer the ignorant to do some research on their own.I find links useful. Opinion is also fun.

I prefer the former over the latter... some parents do their kids homework as well... those who don't like to instill some "intrinsic value" into their children's lives at an early age... when they are more "bendable"... rather than trying to do it later in life... when they are not so "bendable"... and even more stubborn... (old dog, new tricks)...

I streamed it on-line when I got home yesterday. And yes, I know you frequently go looking for other people to tell you what to believe rather than just going to the source and forming your own opinion.

Never ask people to tell me what to believe... and never ask anyone to believe me... but I do like to look at such things from several different perspectives other than my own... and the best way I know to get that is to ask...

I didn't hear, see, or read his comments, so I have no comment of my own... but I understand that he didn't say anything we didn't already know... the problem for the U.S. is where he was allowed to say it without following proper protocol... What did he say that we didn't already know?... I'd like for someone to tell me before I read his comments... And no, I don't like Netanyahu any better than I liked Ronald Reagan... both warmongers... and those of you who know me... know how much that was... First of all, you need to know what's in the deal the U.S. is discussing with Iran over nuclear weapons. Then you need to know what Netanyahu said that was wrong with that deal and what needs to be in any deal regarding Iran and nuclear weapons. Obama was being quite disingenuous (or ignorant) when he claimed there was nothing new in Netanyahu's speech. In this situation, the question "what did he say that we didn't already know?" reminds me of that old question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" What also comes to mind is trying to determine what the animal is that's being "investigated" from the "observations" of three blind men in a room with an elephant they've never seen nor heard of.

Regardless of whether I know anything about what's in the deal the U.S. is discussing with Iran... can you simply list some... or even one... thing the man said that we... or I... didn't already know?... (without going into attack... or attempting insult mode)... is that so hard to do?... sure seems to be...

Netanyahu's proposal is that the deal's sunset provision doesn't kick in until at least three things happen: 1. Iran has to stop being the world's greatest exporter of terrorism. 2. Iran has to stop bullying countries like Syria and Lebanon. 3. Iran has to stop calling for the destruction of Israel.

Nope... haven't heard Obama's take either... you want to tell me what he said that this little ole farmer from Soso, MS didn't already know?... P.S. I like your writing style... you're getting more like me every day... and that may be good... but you don't have to start that next sentence or thought with a capital letter... Farmer? Interesting. What products do you produce? Not sure but I'll bet it has to do with the south end of a north walking bull
