http://www.vox.com/2015/1/24/7884311/netanyahu-boehner-fox-news"The White House, State Department, and many foreign policy observers, including prominent former US ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk, expressed outrage over the move. And, in a sign of just how many lines Boehner and Netanyahu crossed, so did Fox News hosts Chris Wallace and Shepherd Smith.
"I agree 100 percent," Wallace said when Smith read a quote from Indyk criticizing the Boehner-Netanyahu maneuver. Wallace went on:
And to make you get a sense of really how, forgive me, wicked, this whole thing is, the Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for two hours on Tuesday, Ron Dermer. The ambassador, never mentioned the fact that Netanyahu was in negotiations and finally agreed to come to Washington, not to see the president, but to go to Capitol Hill, speak to a joint session of congress and criticize the president's policy. I have to say I'm shocked."

I guess some things are too 'wicked' even for Fox. That ambassador should be sent home.

That he would meet with Kerry while plotting to undermine the President, is simply outrageous and a direct insult to this country.
The US needs to ask Israel to recall him or he will be asked to leave.
It was the ambassador who was part of the initial plot, then they approached Boehner.
So why is he still in this country? What else is he up to that might threaten our national security?

"Haha, must have been a mixup somewhere. But seriously, go home."
