U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Sunday that the Obama administration would not stand in Israel's way should the latter chooses to take military action to eliminate Iran's nuclear threat.
Israel has the right to determine its own course of action with regard to the Iranian nuclear threat regardless of what the Obama administration chooses to do, Biden told ABC reporter George Stephanopoulos.
When asked whether the Obama administration would restrain Israeli military action against Iran, Biden responded: "Israel can determine for itself - it's a sovereign nation - what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else."

There's no way the Obama administration meant to send this signal.

“Israel can determine for itself - it’s a sovereign nation - what’s in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else.”
Nice. Now say the same thing about Honduras. Thanks!

The only way to reconcile Biden’s statement (that the US will not prevent an Israeli attack on Iran) with the public US policy of ‘negotiation’ with Iran (no military option) is to say that Obama is not a leader. He would prefer that somebody, anybody would do his dirty work for him so that he can continue to preen & moralize.

Biden responded: "Israel can determine for itself - it's a sovereign nation - what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else."But your boss does not think that Honduras is a sovereign nation and can do what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Zelaya and anyone else."

Stephanaopoulos posed the question three times, and each time Biden repeated that Israel was free to choose its actions.Ha! I can just picture Stephanopoulos practically waving his arms around and shouting "No, no, no Joe!"

Sounds like a green light to me. And then there is the report that the Saudis won’t complain too much if the IAF uses their airspace.

I would HOPE Obama would have Isreali footprints down his back if he tried to get in Isreal’s way.

"Israel can determine for itself - it's a sovereign nation - what's in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else." Follow up. Does the same thing go for Honduras mister vice president?
