What’s this? Did Biden speak out of turn or have another gaffe? This administration is funnier than Laurel and Hardy.

Since when does Israel need OUR permission to do anything? They are a sovereign country, & I hope they will kick some Mullah’s a$$!

GO FOR IT, ISRAEL!!!

I thought Joe Biden was part of the Administration — did I miss something? (sarcasm)

Biden hung out to dry once again by ZERO.

I wish Israel would just get the GPS location of each and every mosque that voted to support Imadinnerjacket, and then send cruise missiles into each one of them, during services!

Hey, tell me how Iran can strike Israel WITHOUT taking out religious sites?

How condescending for Obama to talk about giving, or not giving, Israel a “green light.” Last time I checked, it still wasn’t a US state or even territory.

Ironically, if Israel goes after Iran, it will probably be courtesy of Saudi Arabia, not us.

Someone seems to think that the US actually has a say over the sovereign actions of Israel regarding Iran...hmmm. Surely Obama has no such beliefs!

Excuse me Omamadumb, perhaps you didn’t know this, but Israel isn’t required to wait for a red or green light from you or any of your appointed traitors.

Another Biden tells more truth than Barry and the White House shuts it down. Hilarious that this administration cannot get any more in synch than it already displays. lulz...

And, they already have permission from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, both Islamic countries.

For Saudi to be on board with this is especially huge news, because Mecca lies within its borders. This is a pickle for Iranian mullahs, because what exactly are they going to do in retaliation, boycott Mecca?!?
