My comment to Israel: You don’t need no stinkin’ permission from that commie wannabe. You look out after yourself. You have the support of millions of Americans.

Let me see if I have this correct:

Obama on Tuesday strongly denied that the United States had given Israel an approval to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Asked by CNN whether Washington had given Israel a green light for such an attack, Obam,a answered: “Absolutely not.” ...

The gall of this squatter soiling the Whitehouse is beyond belief.

What is the personal bitc* of the mid east leaders going to do help Iran in any war against Israel?

I can just hear the phone call now, Israel,

“I need to talk with th POTUS now we are under attack from Iran”

Whitehouse switch board, “ Let me contact the POTUS, He says that he will call you back as soon as he get back form his $750,000.00 diner date with his wife, oh wait after his date he has a round of golf scheduled so it my be a day or two so sit tight”,

I do not think TOTUS can fire the vPOTUS.

But, I bet TOTUS could ground Biden’s planes and cut his staff.

TOTUS could also ask Biden to resign, but Biden has no reason to do so. Biden could just kick back for the next 3.5 years and take it easy then collect his retirement for life...

The only relevant question, does The One feel it's within his power to give a red light. I seriously doubt Israel is concerned about American approval at this point, if they didn't get it under GWB, they'll never get it under BHO.

They both lack direction completely and they just happened to wander away from each other this time by chance.

What a situation we have have gotten our country into this time.

Probably by accident, Plugs exercised his profound sense of irony:
Joe Biden was asked on ABC's 'This Week' whether the US would stand in the way militarily if the Israelis decided they needed to take out Iran's nuclear program.The US "cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do," he said.
Funny, but I'm pretty sure we can. All it takes is some backbone in the White House. Sovereign nations are also open to polite suggestion, e.g.:
"Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
