Biden: Iran Not A Threat (Obama Administration Was Lying Just 10 Days Ago)
Hot Air. com/CNN ^ | 9/17/2009 | Ed Morrissey

Vice President Joe Biden earlier refused to confirm to CNN that the George W. Bush-era plan was being shelved. But he did explain the logic of doing so, saying Iran — a key concern for the United States — was not a threat. “I think we are fully capable and secure dealing with any present or future potential Iranian threat,” he told CNN’s Chris Lawrence in Baghdad, where he is on a brief trip. “The whole purpose of this exercise we are undertaking is to diminish the prospect of the Iranians destabilizing that region in the world. I am less concerned — much less concerned — about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America,” he said.

KEYWORDS: biden; iran; liars
They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America,” he said.

So I guess if they just hit a BASE where our soldiers are, or where our allies are, then Biden is okay with that.

Biden and his boss are LIARS.

C'mon everyone, let's join JOE WILSON IN SAYING:

Biden’s a liar. Iran has been beating on the US for years in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, if not directly in the ?US.

Biden is second in line to bammy - which one scares you the most? Personally, I’ll take Biden, at least there he brings some comedic relief to the whole thing.

“They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America”.

I’m so relieved. I sure hope they never think about putting a nuclear weapon aboard a commercial airliner, or aboard a cargo container.

Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That’s what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That’s what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That’s what Nixon did with Mao. I mean, think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny, compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet, we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, ‘We’re going to wipe you off the planet.’

And ultimately, that direct engagement led to a series of measures that helped prevent nuclear war, and over time, allowed the kind of opening that brought down the Berlin Wall. Now, that has to be the kind of approach that we take. You know, Iran, they spend one-one hundredth of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn’t stand a chance. And we should use that position of strength that we have, to be bold enough to go ahead and listen. That doesn’t mean we agree with them on everything. We might not compromise on any issues, but at least we should find out other areas of potential common interest, and we can reduce some of the tensions that has caused us so many problems around the world.

So Biden, the designated moron, doesn’t think Iran is a threat. Who exactly moron Joe was sending munitions into first Iraq, and now Afghanistan? Jerk off. Who, since the 1979 revolution have been supporting the 2 major terror groups in the region, Hamas and Hezbollah? Does anyone read reports from the field?

I was just walking down the hall and wondering...What is the average length of time before a DIM prez is tested by a foreign or domestic threat and fails?

Clinton was in office about a month when the WTC bombing happened and he failed. Carter much longer with the Iran hostages and failed. Obama’s Iran/Afghanistan/Al Qaeda/ failure is imminent.

Each day I become more and more convinced, these blockheads.
Obama, Biden and the rest of the Democrats don’t have a clue.
But I guess it’s Bush’s fault.
