At Tel Aviv University, US vice president stresses American commitment to Israel's security, says Washington determined to prevent nuclear Iran; accepts PM's stance on R. Shlomo plan.

US Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday delivered a warm speech at Tel Aviv University on Thursday afternoon, stressing the importance of US-Israel friendship and Washington's commitment to the security of the Jewish state.

"US President Barack Obama and myself know that the US has no better friend in the community of nations than Israel," Biden said at the start of his speech.

He went on to share some memories from his first visit to Israel as a young senator in 1973, when he met with then-Prime Minister Golda Meir and with Yitzhak Rabin.

The US vice president said Meir told him that Israel's secret weapon in its against the Arab states was that "we have nowhere else to go."

Vice Idiot raising havoc in the middle east. Let’s see,he makes the statement he’s bored being Vice Idiot so they send him to negotiate peace. Sounds about right for this administration.

[kempster]

He’s right. Israel has no better friend than the U.S. Too bad Biden and his boss are not part of that mix.

He's just the latest in a long line of 'rats and CFR-sters who would stick a shank into Israel with the left hand while smiling and shaking her hand with his right, but he has the disadvantage of less cover than his predecessors.

What he said was the the US had no better friend than Israel. That is the opposite of saying Israel has no better friend than the US.

The friends that America can always count on:
Australia
Poland
Great Britain
Israel
Canada
New Zealand

[BitWielder1]

America to Israel:
The current US administration is not your friend.
They can not be trusted.
You are on your own for the next three years.
Sorry.

[kempster]

Yeah, what he said! And it’s still too bad Biden and his boss are not part of that mix.

[Juan Medén]

And that’s why we’re throwing them overboard. Because that’s what friends do.

Unfortunately for Biden and Obama (and the whole of the State Department, for that matter), condescension and pandering are not effective negotiating tools.

*sigh* It'll at least be entertaining for a while to watch these fools try to untie that Gordian knot.

[kabar]

The refrain used to be, “Israel has no better friend than the US.” Interesting that this is now reversed.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

OT, but “Myself knows this...”

Great grammar, plugs.

[cranked]

Biden is an idiot. Netanyahu knows this.
