I think you missed a biggie, Senators McCain and Lieberman opposing our President's Middle East policy in a public interview while on foreign soil. Quite ugly. They basically said, "The President can say what he likes, but we will prevent him from altering policy."

To me this is roughly equivalent to having two top-shelf Dem Senators declaring that they would prevent a Republican president from applying any pressure to Chávez while they tour Venezuela. But then, I guess this falls into the "Israel can do no wrong" thing that I have never understood.
