State Dept.--> Biden is Wrong, NO Israeli Green Light on Iran

Our Vice-President is proving once again that he is a couple of bottles short of a full Joe-Six-Pack.

During the Presidential campaign season, Biden exclaimed that Israel would have to get used to a nuclear Iran. In April he he appeared on CNN warning Israel not to attack Iranian Nukes:

With his brief comment Tuesday, Biden became the highest-ranking administration official to caution the Jewish state against a military strike. In the interview, Biden was asked whether he was concerned that Netanyahu might strike Iranian nuclear facilities.

"I don't believe Prime Minister Netanyahu would do that. I think he would be ill advised to do that," Biden said. "And so my level of concern is no different than it was a year ago."

Then, as if it was a change in administration policy,this past Sunday Biden told George Stephanopoulos:

Israel has a sovereign right to decide what is in its best interest in dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions whether the United States agrees or not..We cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a determination, if they make a determination, that they're existentially threatened"

It turns out that Biden was not announcing a change in policy, but it was a simple mistake by the Gaffe-Master-in-Chief:

Are there two well-worn paths between the Oval Orifice, the VP’s Orifice, and the wood shed behind the White Crib? I’d like to be a fly on the wall when The One chews the ass of The Gaffe-Master.

Biden is a complete idiot, and yet I think the country would be better off with him in charge than Obama.
Obama is a manipulating, meglomaniac socialist who is drunk on power.

May I ask, why are we so interested in protecting Iran? This regime has been our adversary since 1979. How many American deaths may be attributed to the Iranian regime? I don’t hate Iranians, I hate their government.

How long before Biden decides to “pursue other interests” and “spend more time with his family” and “devote himself to issues that he’s passionate about”?
