SubscribeBiden: Israel Has To Accept A Nuclear Iran
From Israel’s Haaretz News:
Biden quoted as saying that Israel will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran
01/09/2008
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden was quoted Monday as telling senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran.
In the unsourced report, Army Radio also quoted Biden as saying that he opposed “opening a additional military and diplomatic front.”
Biden, chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has long been considered strongly pro-Israel. His nomination as Barack Obama’s running mate had been expected to shore up the Democrats’ strength with U.S. Jewish voters.
Army Radio said Israeli officials expressed “amazement” over the remarks attributed to him.
“Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials.
“It’s doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front.”
Last year, in a widely quoted interview with year the Jewish American Shalom TV, Biden said, “I am a Zionist. You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist,” adding that “Israel is the single greatest strength that America has in the Middle East,” and that its presence as a strategic ally meant that America need station far fewer troops and warships in the region.
If this is true, it is breathtakingly stupid.
And another typical pronouncement from that famous foreign policy maven, Joe Biden.

Joe, shut up!

“Joe, shut up!”
Don’t listen to UNOHOO, Joe.
You’re doing great. Keep it up!

Is it possible to get a lobotomy from hair plugs?

“Is it possible to get a lobotomy from hair plugs?’
Not in Bidens case, as he never had a brain to damage.

Excellent, Joe. Just keep talking…and while you’re doing that, could you hand the election to McCain and Palin on that silver platter over there? Thanks.

Way to go Joe, you’re a veritable giant amongst boys in the foreign relations game!!
At his pace, by election time, the only remaining foreign ally the Dem’s will have is the Republic of Kiribati (nothing against Kiribatians mind you). Well, on second thought, besides the current stalwart Dem allies of Iran, Russia, Cuba, NorKor, ChiComm, etc. ;o)
I wonder how all this fits into the Obamessiah’s vaunted “repairing our reputation overseas” agenda?

“Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran,” Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the unnamed officials.
“It’s doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front.”
So, I guess his next great speech as VP following a horrendous terrorist attack would be:
“America will have to reconcile itself with random acts of violent terrorism.” “It’s doubtful that we can do anything about it diplomatically, and I am against opening any military front against an unknown entity.”
Wow. I believe I’d go for inexperience over incompetence. Just goes to show you that most, if not all politicians, are over rated when it comes to intellect.

Which Presidential campaign is in more trouble.
One has the VP candidate’s 17 year old daughter pregnant.
The other one has Joe Biden as the VP candidate.
I report, YOU decide.

Yeah, they’ll reconcile it alright.

Israel will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran
I suspect that Joe Biden will have to reconcile himself to Israel bombing the sh*t out of Iran.

DW!! Where you been boy>? people’s been asking about ye!
September 1st, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Ducking and dodging, SJ (this is an interesting town I moved to).
Oh, yeah, and working a lot.
(I did post in the Hive thread when Zilla asked about me…besides, all you guys got my e-mail address…sheesh!)
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:23 am
er, uh, yeah….yer right. Point made….expect a snag update
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:32 am
Just to cheer you up, SJ:
1) Picture Ms. Palin becoming president.
2) Picture the snag deciding to set up Camp Casey XXXIV outside Ms. Palin’s Wasilla, Alaska home.
3) Think of the number and sheer size of bloodthirsty bugs that reside in Alaska…
(not to mention the damn big bears -and they just love rotten meat…)

From Israel’s Arutz Sheva:
Once again we have a headline writer who doesn’t know the difference between “refutes” and “denies.”
Mr. Biden’s spokesman (also Kerry’s ex-spokesman) only denied the report. He refuted nothing.
For the record, the Radio Times, is the news service of the IDF.
I would be surprised if they got something this wrong about the chairmen of the US Senate’s Foreign Relations committee and a possible VP.

4USA: “America will have to reconcile itself with random acts of violent terrorism.”
But don’t you ALL see? That’s the whole point the liberals and DNC are making!!!
Last week, Obama said, (paraphrasing with uh’s and um’s removed) “When you look at China, they built that Olympic Center - built up their airports and infrastructure and now they’re better than we!”
This morning on Imus, Tom Greensomebody (I don’t read the Times), - he said the same thing adding, “After 911, we’ve been busy chasing terrorists while countries like China have been building their infrastructure.”
“IT’S TIME WE NATION BUILD HERE AT HOME.” he said. That’s the message folks! Stop chasing terrorists and let’s start paying attention to us, here at home.
AND IF A FEW THOUSAND OF US GET KILLED ALONG THE WAY - WELL ISN’T THAT THE COST THEY THE ELITISTS - NOT WE - ARE WILLING TO PAY?!!?!!?!!
(YES - SG - I - AM - YELLING!!!)

Just another reason for Israel to execute a preemptive strike prior to the election…
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Who you gonna believe , Israel or Biden.
I choose Israel.

Cindy sat half frozen in the ditch just half a mile from Camp Casey Alaska.
She looked at the steam rising from her snowmobile and cussed under her breath; Just a little further you piece of S###, and I would be drinking Jamba juice and hurling insults at that warmongering bitch Palin, But nooooo.
You just had to overheat, Just how the hell can you overheat in sub-zero weather?
She paused on that thought and her left eye started to twitch as it often did when she tried to think real hard, thirty seconds of thought and she bolted straight up.
Now my head hurts she cried, Maybe I have some Tylenol in my pack.
She walked over to the hissing snowmobile and opened her pack, she fumbled through it and found a two pack of aspirin, and popped them into her mouth.
She then grabbed her thermus filled with moccachino and took a drink to wash down the pills.
Glancing back in the pack, she spied the blubber sandwich that Medea had thoughtfully packed for her.
She grabbed it and sat down in the snow to eat.
She opened the sandwich and took a big bite, the Mayonnaise ran down the corner of her mouth and onto her pink parka, two more bites and the 3 pound sandwich was gone, she reached for the Thermos and paused again, A sound, yes a sound, it sounded like a truck coming.
The engine noise grew louder, Does that mean its getting closer? she wondered out loud.
Then she saw it as it topped the hill a few hundred yards from her, and she started flailing her arms in the air wildly to catch the drivers attention.
The driver pulled up beside her as she continued to wave her arms, he got out and walked over to her.
You can stop that now he said.
Stop what? Cindy said tilting her head sideways with a confused look on her face.
Waving your arms.
Oh!
He walked over and looked at the steaming snowmobile and back to Cindy.
Well lady, it looks like you blew a seal!
Huh? oh no that’s just mayonnaise from my sandwich she said wiping her mouth.
Okaaaay, well I can give you a lift if ya like, he said shifting the Skoal with his tongue.
Oh that’s real kind, But what I really need is a ride!
As the driver sped away Cindy sat back down in the snow, Boy was that guy a dumb ass, she said as she broke the 3 inch snot-cycle from her nose.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Good one DEZ!! Blew a seal, …bwaahaahaahahaha..!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:54 pm
C’mon DEZ. It’s been a while since we’ve had a good story. As Obama might say, “I’m all ears”! ;-}
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:17 pm
“C’mon DEZ.”
Just gave ya a short, Is this a not so subtle hint to finish the S&L Express?
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:44 pm
windex….must find windex……that was superb Dez
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:45 pm
The Snag always makes good copy, and that was pretty good. I was just thinking that a lot of folks seem awfully up-tight right now, and a good story is balm for the soul.
As for the S & L Express…..well, I’m pretty conflicted inasmuch as I know I did SOMETHING of note, but I don’t seem to remember what it was. :-}>

I have no problems with a Nuclear Iran, especially if it glows in the dark and can be seen from the space shuttle. But where would the Iranian “glow in the dark” survivors go?!? I guess they could all move in with Jimmy Carter and Barak Hussein Obama.
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
SJ, that was mostly done to get you pumped to do a snag update.
I’m waiting, no preasure though, doncha know! ;-)
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
“I have no problem with a Nuclear Iran, just as long as it glows bright enough for the Kremlin to read by!”
Sorry Lips, I read your post above and couldn’t help but rewrite it into a one-liner.
