They said it was not sufficient just to stop Iran from actually building a bomb. Such comments appeared frequently before Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visited the United States. The New York Times points out that that issue seems to have curiously fallen off the agenda. President Obama gave a major speech on Iran policy to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and never addressed that issue. A few days later, Netanyahu spoke to AIPAC. And, funny thing, he never mentioned the issue either. What was front and center a month ago is forgotten and buried this month.
