to benjamin netanyahu's visit tomorrow how should the white house be handling this? re's two points. another sign of the weakness of john boehner as speaker of the house. he decided to extend this invitation in part to apiece that very right wing base of his party, to show he would stand up to president obama. instead, it's playing politics with one of our most important relationships. with the safety and security again of this process. i think the white house has tried to tread very carefully. what's interesting to note last night right here on cnn, at least reported that the prime minister netanyahu has actually started to soften his rhetoric a little bit. it will be interesting to see what he actually says in his speech tomorrow and i think you will see a reaction appropriate accordingly from the white house. >> why didn't the white house throw their arms around benjamin netanyahu when they knew he was coming instead of feeling slighted. why not take the high road. >> if i said the republicans look ridiculous with this dhs funding, the white house looks ridiculous

a big show at the white house? you think is going to be helpful for the american people? >> and certainly you wonder if now looking back at this if that's something that the white house regrets, not just because of everything that's come out about what happened with his unit, but there were uncomfortable details he didn't want to see his family after he returned. this is a man who you know, was in captivity for five years, didn't want to see his family. that raised a lot of questions about what had been going on here, what kind of state he was in, and to put the family up there on display like that i think, was questionable to some people. i think that one thing that we should watch for over the next couple of months is whether the administration asks the qataris to keep the gitmo detainees there for a longer period of time. they'd have to get agreement from the government to do that. you can imagine the administration would rather have them monitored by the qataris and u.s. intelligence agencies than sending them
