“Accept nuclear armed Iran.” Biden tells Israel in secret

Biden also said he opposes any new diplomatic or military actions against Iran.

Last Monday Israel’s Army Radio reported details of the alarming and revealing comments Biden made when he met with “senior Israeli officials behind closed doors” telling them to:

a.) accept a nuclear armed Iran;

b.) sanctions would do no good, and

c.) he “opposed additional military and diplomatic fronts against Iran.”

Israeli officials were understandably shocked by Biden’s comments. Biden is Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee giving his comments additional importance because they reflect at least part of official U. S. policy.

Now, because Biden is Obama’s VP pick this is seen as a troubling signal of future acts. Obama continues to give mixed signals on the Iran threat. During the Democratic primary he argued for direct negotiations with Iran and to argue for his Rodney King-like foreign policy. Last Monday Obama said he would continue to use diplomatic means to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Obama has avoided making any suggestion the U.S. should take military action against Iran.

Within Israel, a consensus across the political spectrum has developed on the Iran matter. Iran’s president Ahmadinejad has stated that he will wipe Israel off the map, making clear his use weapons of mass destruction against the Jewish state.

Biden has been seen as pro-Israel, and his public statements conflict with the recently released “closed door” comments that most see as anti-Israel or even pro-Iran.

Other recent reports also contradict Biden’s pro-Israeli stance by tying him as “a great friend of the Mulahs” according to statements by Kaveh Mohseni of the anti-Iranian theocracy STUDENT MOVEMENT COORDINATION COMMITTEEE FOR DEMOCRACY IN IRAN. (SMCCDI) its website says consist of students inside and outside of Iran, as well as Iranian professionals who share the students’ vision of a free, independent, democratic, secular and industrialized Iran. The group is exiled and is headquartered in Texas and is one of the strongest anti-Iranian groups.

Mohseni has exposed numerous ties between Biden and Iran including accepting tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from pro-Iran individuals and groups with very close ties to Iran.
