US Senator and vice presidential hopeful Joe Biden reportedly told Israeli officials three years ago that sooner or later they would have to reconcile themselves to the reality of a nuclear-armed Iran.
Israel's Army Radio reported on the remarks, which Biden is said to have made to visiting Israeli officials in his capacity as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
According to the report, Biden reaffirmed to the Israelis his rejection of military action against Iran, but also admitted that diplomatic efforts to halt Iran's nuclear program had little or no chance of success. In essence, Biden resigned himself to the idea of a nuclear-armed Iran and told the Israelis that they, too, would have to accept that outcome.
Israeli security officials on Monday expressed concern over the remarks and saw them as further evidence that if Biden and his running mate, Senator Barack Obama, win the upcoming US presidential election, Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons will be a foregone conclusion.
Israeli experts warn that it is only the real threat of force that stands a chance of convincing the mullahs and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give up their nuclear ambitions.
Or they could just blow them up, Joe.
Ping!
I have asked basically the same question for years. And have never received an answer.

NO!. Only a MORON would say something that stupid. Never mind Isreal, America will not be able to survive a nuked up Iran..
This guy may be onlyn slightly less dangerous then his Communist running mate...
Once again.....Biden proves he really is dumber than Kerry, Boxer, Wexler or just about anyone you can think of....
The Obama/Biden ticket — a ticket only pathological liars, racists, Islamists and Marxists could love....
Note that Biden’s irresponsibility on Iran continues cropping up as an issue, I distinctly remember Biden making outrageous statements about his desire to protect Iran from attack.
Joe Biden will just have to reconcile himself to the reality that he will never be veep or POTUS.
Hey Joe, you big dummy!
Your ilk allowed North Korea to acquire nuclear weapons. Now you want to allow Iran to do so as well.
The next time a mushroom cloud goes up, at least we know where to lay the blame. Leftist democrats. Of course, that won’t make the dead and maimed feel any better.

Joe Biden: the only time he opens his mouth is to change his foot.
The American Jew is very, very liberal and most of them couldn’t care less about the homeland of Israel.
Biden just guaranteed the deed will be done before the election. The Israelis can’t afford to wait and see if the Republicans win.
THAT’S GREAT! Can you get that to the McCain Camp?
Any Jew who supports the demoncrat party is no Jew in God's eyes, I am certain.
Suicide is against the Law of God, doncha know.
Biden needs a frontal lobotomy...suggest the DMC set up a special fund to pay for his much needed surgery...He’s needed it for 20 years or so but NOW IS THE TIME....
‘Israel needs to let Iran go nuclear’....In the words of a former beloved First Sergeant...’Biden, are you ^&$%#*(^%$
C%$#(^$&%$^@ or does that just naturally blow *^$^# )&%#*%
*%#&%( ??’....shakes head....writes in book: Biden, extra duty-forever.....Biden, you’re gonna see so much Guard Duty they just might make a special MOS-99 1/2 Permanent Guard Duty...
I sent it to that e-mail address and also to the John McCain campaign info e-mail address.
I cannot wait for Sarah to rip Biden a new one!
