Biden Comments Signal Possible Iran Attack

Vice President Joe Biden, appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” said that the Obama administration would not stand in the way if Israel chose to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. “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,” Biden said. He added that the Obama administration “cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do.”

Reminded that the U.S. could impede an Israeli strike on Iran by prohibiting it from using Iraqi air space, Biden said he was “not going to speculate” beyond saying that Israel, like the U.S., has a right to “determine what is in its interests.”
On Monday, Iran’s Press TV reported that Israel has denied reports that suggest Israeli bombers have been allowed to use Saudi airspace for an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, thus bypassing Iraq airspace. The denial came after unnamed Israeli diplomatic sources told The Sunday Times that Saudi officials have secretly agreed to allow Israeli fighter jets to fly over the kingdom to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
“The Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israeli air force flying through their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common interests of both Israel and Saudi Arabia,” the The Sunday Times quoted an Israeli diplomatic source as saying.
An Israeli defense source recently confirmed that the Mossad spy agency maintained “working relations” with Saudi Arabia.
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said it was “entirely logical” for the Israelis to use Saudi airspace to attack Iran.
Bolton said he had discussed the possibility with Saudi officials in closed-door meetings. “None of them would say anything about it publicly but they would certainly acquiesce in an overflight if the Israelis didn’t trumpet it as a big success.”
“Israel’s decision of whether to use military force against Tehran’s nuclear weapons program is more urgent than ever,” Bolton told the Washington Post last week.
Israel held a major long-range military air exercise – involving more than 100 F15 and F16 fighters – as a rehearsal for a potential strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Independent revealed in June, 2008. The fighters, along with refuelling tankers and helicopters able to rescue downed pilots, were mobilized during the first week of June over the eastern Mediterranean and Greece in an exercise monitored by foreign intelligence agencies.
Late last month, as the CIA and NGO spawned “color revolution” unfolded in Iran, former Secretary of State and Rockefeller minion Henry Kissinger said if the western orchestrated coup against Ahmadinejad and the mullahs failed, an outside alternative would have to be used in the name of “regime change.”

Iran’s leadership dispatched hundreds of riot police and Basij militiamen to put down demonstrations. Iran has detained over 1,000 demonstrators and the initially large protests have been scaled down due to the repressive measures of the government. Analysts say many Iranians who believe that fraud swayed the presidential election in favor of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will have to find new means to challenge the hard-liners in power, The Christian Science Monitor reported over the weekend.
In February of 2007, it was revealed that the U.S. has a “fallback plan” in place for an attack. “US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country’s military infrastructure,” the BBC reported. “It is understood that any such attack — if ordered — would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centers.”
Obama ordered Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to update the plans for the use of military force against Iran in May, according to Israel News.
Iran deployed missile batteries in the Persian Gulf after the Islamic Republic received secret information that the United States and Israel were planning to attack it, the Saudi newspaper al-Watan reported in May. The deployment of the missiles indicates that Iran believes an attack against its nuclear facilities will be conducted from the air or the sea.
The commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard said last June that the government would shut down vital oil lanes through the Persian Gulf if the country were attacked by the United States or Israel. “Naturally every country under attack by an enemy uses all its capacity and opportunities to confront the enemy,” said Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari. “Iran will definitely act to impose control on the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.” More than 17 million barrels of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day.
Jafari also warned of possible reprisals against countries that allow the U.S. or Israel to use their territory or airspace to launch attacks against Iran, a reference to Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
In addition to the obvious global economic implications of shutting down the oil lanes in the Persian Gulf, an attack by Israel or the United States would inflame tensions in the Middle East, especially among Shi’ite populations. An attack would incite Shi’ites in Lebanon — namely Hezbollah — and in Iraq and elsewhere in the region, including Saudi Arabia. Hezbollah is positioned to attack Israel if it attacks Iran.
“The most horrific impact of a US assault on Iran, of course, would be the potentially catastrophic number of casualties. The Oxford Research Group predicted that up to 10,000 people would die if the US bombed Iran’s nuclear sites, and that an attack on the Bushehr nuclear reactor could send a radioactive cloud over the Gulf. If the US uses nuclear weapons, such as earth-penetrating ‘bunker buster’ bombs, radioactive fallout would become even more disastrous,” Heather Wokusch wrote for Common Dreams in 2006.

Great point & you beat me to pointing this out because when I saw what Biden had the nerve to say: this was the FIRST thing which came to mind. IE: that we have no problem dictating to a number of OTHER countries all the time. The invasion of Iraq is just the most RECENT example of dictating to another sovereign nation.

He only said that so that when HIS buddies attack Iran, then Israel will be blamed (as usual). The NWO wants the Jews dead, this blame of Israel is a basic tactic they use to try and force that to happen.

The Zionists [ who are not all Jews ] do not care about the average Jew & the Jews in the Zionist clique sure do not care about the average common Jew – just look how they irradiated their OWN Jews in Israel during the 1950s. The Zionists will destroy the Jews just as they are planing on destroying the rest of the global population.

The hammer is ready to fall people! The same EXACT thing happened before Desert Storm where they told Saddam Hussein that the US would not intervene if he attacked Kuwait…….RIGHT.
As soon as he made the attack, we were on ships headed for the gulf, the same thing has happened again so I would presume that Iran will be attacked within days!
Just remember, YOUR sons and daughters will be going soon to protect Israels ass and will die fighting for a foreign nation! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

I heard al qaeda works with Iran. And they work with Chavez. And they work with North Korea. And Bin LAden is still alive. And he was never CIA connected and his family wasnt business partners with the Bush family. God I so wanna believe! I trust our media, I trust our gov and intel agencies, I trust ourm media would get tot he heart of the matter. Iran must be stopped, just like they were in 1953 when our CIA overthrew their leader. That didnt cause this problem or anything. But seriosuly people, does anybody know whos on O’Reilly tonight? Now theres a trustworthy guy.

The common Israeli which is the majority of the population are regular people..Blinded and being deceived just like every one of us.. Quit hating on the ignorant and start looking at the bigger picture..The illuminate involves British, Jews, Russians, Arabs, Europeans and God only knows how many nations.. The majority of all populations are being fed bull night and day and were raised to believe certain things..We were taught Israel is God’s People in Church, They were taught they were God’s people, The Arabs were taught U.S. and Israel Big and Little Satan..Europeans taught to lift pinky while sipping wine.Joke….U know the elite are a small Evil Remnant that is definately growing by the day but we cannot rightfully blame one race of people. Well you can but your waisting your energy….Masonic Temples and this Cannibalism is worldwide..different countries, different races. No way it could be only the Zionists..I mean the largest population of Neo Nazi’s is in Russia..Jews are in hight places and part of it but I’m sure Obama is not a Jew..and I’m sure Putin is not one.. It’s the Ideology that makes them bad..Their depopulation agenda.. Struggle for all humanity and defend the innocent and the precious children, no matter what race, religion, and creed and God will bless people..I did i forget to look in the mirror at your own personal sins. myself included.. Repentance is what will save a nation.. Give up your anger, rage, jeolousy, malice, murder, sexual immorality, and any other sins that you can think of..For the Kingdom of God is at hand…This is the truth..Fear him who can destroy the soul, not the body..100 years from now most of us will be dead even if the world was Disneyland.. Think of your Children, Nephews, Nieces, Granchildren..etc…Turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who has authority over life and death, who has the keys to death and Hades.. No one who puts their trust in him will be shamed…He died for the Jews, Gentiles, Masons, Luciferians, and all the sinners.. We all can be examples of God’s amazing grace…

Someday you will feel real remorse for going along with your controllers, you are not important to them, you are expendable just like the soldiers on the battlefield fighting and dying for the Corporations you will die too but without honor or retribution for your masters.
Iran is going to be attacked within days of the green light from Prick Biden and his venomous words will come back and bite him on the ass very soon. The world is headed for absolute Chaos and you people will be going for the ride of your lives, have fun, this ride is going to cost you all very dearly!

What Biden said is, on this issue Isreal is on its own and that they should not count on US support (as opposed to the historical trend).
Isreal really should think twice on this since they have seen what happened to USA by going to Iraq with UK and against the wishes of France and Germany.
One must appreciate the subtle message of Obama Admn.. But then after 8 years of gross and palpable langauge of the Bush era, it is understandable why people do no longer understand the subtle ones any longer.

Hey Joe Biden. Did if ever occur to you that if Isreal attacks Iran that the U.S. almost certainly would have to back up Isreal with military strikes and hardware? So when you say “Oh Isreal can just do whatever they want” you are not thinking through all the consiquences. I wish you would just “shut your big yapper”. Thanks Chris Farley we miss you .

What the fuck is Biden referring to? The United States incessantly violates the soverienty of other nations, the most recent case currently unfolding in Honduras.
July 6th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
The Israelis must not have enough support for another proxy war, if they have to carryout the attacks themselves. This characterization of the Iranian regime is likely a creation of the press. Let’s hope for the sake of any American troops black or white that this will not be another lesson to not pick fights with nations like America that need a pretence to wage war to deficit spend to pump a bankrupt economy out of a recession.

Die Obama-Regierung kann nicht einer anderen souveränen Nation diktieren, was sie tun kann und was nicht.” [...]
