Biden: Israel has right to attack Iran
July 5, 2009

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel has the right to attack Iran's nuclear program and the United States will not stand in her way, Joe Biden said.

"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," the U.S. vice president told reporter George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week."

Biden said Israel could decide to attack Iran whether the United States agrees or not.

"They're entitled to do that. Any sovereign nation is entitled to do that. But there is no pressure from any nation that's going to alter our behavior as to how to proceed," Biden said, adding: What we believe is in the national interest of the United States, which we, coincidentally, believe is also in the interest of Israel and the whole world."

 Biden said he was "not going to speculate" on whether or not the United States would grant Israel over flight rights in Iraq to get to Iran, when pressed by Stephanopoulos.

That sounds like the only lucid thing he has said.

Does that shvartza president KNOW he said THIS??!!! This could be another comment from his heart without thinking first, and if so, I say GOOD!

GoIsraelGo!:
Hi Dawn, if Biden really said that then my predictions are not so far off . I pray my predictions come true.

I think the most likely explanation is that Obama's initial strategy of rapprochement with Iran failed and he's now trying to run a "good cop, bad cop" routine and scare them into talks with the threat of an Israeli attack.
