Exactly.
Meeting with Obama? He don’t need no stinkin’ meeting. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu killed it during his address to the United Nations this afternoon.
Is #BibiBomb trending on Twitter? It should be!
— Trey Ditto (@treyditto) September 27, 2012
The hashtag #Bibibomb immediately sprung up after Netanyahu used a powerfully simple diagram to show the danger Iran imposes.

Those who understand how the world actually works and who understand that there is, in fact, evil in the world were quick to rightfully praise the prime minister.
Netanyahu really is badass Israeli Newt.
— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) September 27, 2012
Badass indeed.
Bibi's use of that chart was one of the most effective, gripping, uses of a chart I've ever seen. Is the world listening??

That it did. But will President Obama even understand?
RT @benshapiro: You know why Bibi used a bomb diagram? So Obama has no excuse to misunderstand him.
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 27, 2012
Heh.
Since Obama is willfully DEAF to what he calls #noise re Iran nuclear powers, he will be willfully BLIND to Netanyahu's bright #redline
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 27, 2012
Yep. Evidently the Smarter Than You ™ crowd is still misunderstanding. Reality, it’s so hard. See, it’s super hilarious to mock the fact that Israel is under constant threat from crazy evil-doers who wish to wipe them off the face of the map. It’s hilarious that Prime Minister Netanyahu is desperately trying to make people understand the dire threat faced. Aren’t your sides aching?

Ronan Farrow works in a Ryan slam along with a Bibi bash. Mr. Farrow describes himself thusly: “Writer, human rights lawyer and diplomat, most recently Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Special Adviser for Global Youth Issues.”

And, as Twitchy reported, “comedian” Rob Delaney slammed Netanyahu and called him “bush league.” Other cuckoo pants wearers follow suit.

These are the same people who blame terrorist attacks on videos, as this Twitter user snarkily points out.
Bibi's speech was just a spontaneous reaction to a bad video of the President's amateurish UN appearance
— Rick Sheridan (@RickSheridan) September 27, 2012
Bingo! NRO’s Jim Geraghty and others sum it all up best.
Lots of folks on Twitter more animated/bothered/incredulous about Bibi's illustration than about Iran's actual nuclear program.

That they were. Were they listening? Will they learn?
The people at whom the Smarter Than You ™ crowd sneer certainly are.
Not a question of when Iran will get the bomb, its a question of how long before we can stop them from getting the bomb. #Netanyahu #UNGA
— AVSays (@AVquips) September 27, 2012
To imagine a nuclear Iran, imagine a nuclear Al Qaeda. Both fired by same hatred, driven by same lust for violence. @ActForIsrael #Netanyahu

We stand with Bibi and Israel. And so should we all.
