Will Israeli spy's release help Obama and Netanyahu get along?
http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/30/politics/jonathan-pollard-release-israel-iran/index.html
Bibi pouts and tries to stab President Obama in the back over the Iran Deal, and then comes to Washington to try and "repair" relations between he and the president. Bibi did not walk away empty-handed. He got Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard released; something he tried to also do with Bill Clinton in 1996 and later with George W. Bush. He also extorted an additional $2B in annual military aid from the U.S. beginning in 2017, and more F-35 fighter jets and MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors, paid for by good old Uncle Sugar (You).
Perhaps now the petulant Israeli PM will stop whining for a change. He's gotten more from Obama than he got from the previous two presidents. Our "Muslim" president just delivered the goods to "the US's closest ally."
Here is Pollard, who served 30 years out of his life sentence, received while Reagan was in office:
