| Israel won't strike Iran without US: Biden | |
| 2010-04-23 | |
| WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Israel would not attack Iran without consulting the United States and that Jerusalem clearly saw sanctions as the next step to deal with Teheran's nuclear program. What does Biden know?
When asked whether Israel might take military action without consultation with the US, he replied, "They're not going to do that." Biden also said he expected to see sanctions coming out of the UN in the next few weeks, estimating the timeline as "by the end of this month, beginning of next month." Though China, one of the five members of the United Nations Security Council with veto power, has repeatedly pushed for lighter sanctions and expressed doubts about the wisdom of pursuing that path, Biden said that Beijing would support the UN effort. "China will agree to sanctions," Biden told The View. "This is the first time the entire world is unified. Iran is out of bounds." US President Barack Obama has previously given the end of spring as the time frame in which he expects to see UN sanctions approved. Biden stressed, "We're going to continue to keep the pressure on Iran." What pressure? | |

| #10 Formerly temporary daughter (now a university freshman after graduating a year early from high school, with honours -- yes, I'm very proud!) spent winter break with her father visiting cousins in Iran. Based on her reports, the educated people of Tehran were happily engaged in protests at every opportunity, but if it had moved beyond that neither ftd nor her father noticed any indication of it. |

| #8 Under our laws and also our way of thinking, if I shield a Muderer I'm also guilty, we should treat the nation of Iran exactly the same way, either they clean ALL Terrorists out, or we eclare them guilty of ALL terrorist crimes and blow them off the face of the earth, enough is enough, make them clean house, or WE WILL. |

Posted by: 746 2010-04-23 05:32 You are correct. The Iranian people are against the Iranian Government (see this link). Sanctions will only oppress the people. Not the Iranian government. But the leftist American Regime in power has very little qualms about things like that. The Mullah's and the Obama Regime are on the same page; Priority One For Them is Power. |

| #1 What does Biden know? If I were the administration, I'd just have him read the papers. Secrets are safer that way. But it also suggests that any injury to Israel could well be the US's fault. |
