Is Joe Biden Becoming A Liability For The Obama Administration?

By Gilbert Mercier, NEWS JUNKIE POST

Vice President Biden said on Sunday that the Obama administration would not stand in Israel’s way should the latter chooses to take military action to deal with Iran.

VP Biden was on ABC and told George Stephanopoulos that Israel has the right to determine its own course of action with regard to the Iranian nuclear threat, regardless of what the Obama administration choose to do. When asked whether the Obama administration would restrain Israeli military action against Iran, Biden said: “Israel can determine for itself, it is a foreign nation, what is in their interest and what they decide to do relative to Iran & anyone else. If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different from the one being pursued now, that is their sovereign right to do that. That is not our choice.”

Soon after VP Biden’s ABC interview, Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, had to do some damage control on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” He stated: “I have been, for some time, concerned about any strike on Iran. I worry about it being very destabilizing, not just in and of itself, but unintended consequences of a strike like that.”
