Am I the only one that thinks that Israel attacking Iran would be the worst idea of all? Quoting: 1-2-THE DOME Probably. But instead of crying about it, why don't you do the smart thing and get your investments in NOW while you still can? Chances are pretty good that this war will be the biggest economic boom since WW2!!!

US Vice President Joseph Biden: Israel must determine for itself.

In an interview with ABC's George Stephanoupolos taped Saturday, vice president Joseph Biden said in answer to a question: "Look, 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." Whether we agree or not? The interviewer asked. "Whether we agree or not," said the vice president.

This was the first time a senior Obama administration official left Israeli the military option against Iran's nuclear sites.

it would mean that the administration has withdrawn its veto against Israel's resort to military action to curtail Iran's drive for a bomb before diplomacy has been fully tested.

He went on to say: "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. 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.

"And so there are separate issues. If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different than the one being pursued now, that is their sovereign right to do that. That is not our choice. "

Stephanopoulos persisted: But just to be clear here, if the Israelis decide Iran is an existential threat, they have to take out the nuclear program, militarily the United States will not stand in the way?

Biden: "Look, we cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do.

Interviewer: You say we can't dictate, but we can, if we choose to, deny over-flight rights here in Iraq. We can stand in the way of a military strike.

Biden: "I'm not going to speculate, George, on those issues, other than to say Israel has a right to determine what's in its interests, and we have a right and we will determine what's in our interests."

DEBKAfile's intelligence sources: The last three days from Friday, June 3, have seen a spate of reports all pointing in one direction: Israel's air and sea capabilities for dealing with Iran and its military nuclear program. US vice president Biden's statement, unless it is withdrawn, looks like the Obama administration's seal on a possible Israeli attack for pre-empting a nuclear-armed Iran. "Israel can determine for itself whether or not to bomb Iran's nuclear program," he said.

Until now, administration officials referred a potential Israeli bombardment of Iran as a disaster whose consequences were impossible to predict.

Now the ball is squarely in Binyamin Netanyahu's court, whether because Washington hopes Israel will pull the Iranian chestnut out of the fire, or to call Israel's bluff. Netanyahu and defense minister Ehud Barak are now free of America restraints for backing up their statements about the need to pre-empt a nuclear-armed Iran before the Islamic Republic poses an existential threat to Israel.

Asked if Americans would again put their lives on the line again if violence flares back up in Iraq, Biden flatly said "no."

It's the US playing possum ....by stating that they won't "stand in Israel's way", means that the US is not going to assist Israel in their attacks against Iran. That's the good news. It's all smoke and mirrors, if you can read between the lines.

But Iran is not entitled to do that? Isn't Iran a sovereign nation as well?

Let me see if I got this right...It's in the best interests of Israel and the WORLD, yet America is not protecting their best interests by preventing an aggression by Israel towards Iran?

this, however, doesn't apply to Iran

How "sovereign" is the zionist state if they would cease to exist in about 5 minutes without a continuing flow of welfare checks from the American taxpayers?

Israel is a ward of the United States government.

It is NOT a "soveriegn state".

SAUDI & US give green light for Isarel to attack Iran HOAX (1) = last desperate illuminati attempt to prevent fall of agent Ahmadinejad (2), using acceptance by association technique again and again, i.e. trying to push the population to support Ahmadinejad by suggesting that they will allow Israel to strike.

We can't dictate to Israel but we can withdraw our financial aid. The money which makes Israel the pain in the ass it is.

Israel starting a war they can't finish without the US military certainly concerns me.

Israel couldn't even do Lebanon. How in the hell could Israel do Iran without nukes?
