Biden won’t support a strike on Iran nuclear sites as Israel weighs response to Iran missile attack

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AP) — President Joe Biden said Wednesday he will not support an Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear program in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel.

“The answer is no,” Biden told reporters when asked if he would support such retaliation after Iran fired about 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday.

Biden’s comments came after he and fellow Group of Seven leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom spoke by telephone about coordinating new sanctions against Iran.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

We allegedly invaded Iraq in 2003 because Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, and a gullible Colin Powell hoodwinked Congress and the UN into belieiving Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.  But, Iran having nukes is cool beans?

Iran wants nukes for deterrence (America doesn't invade countries with nukes) and to destroy the Great Satans (America, Israel, USSR?).

Did anybody say Israel is interested in strikes on nuclear targets?  I may have missed it....

Nope.
But if they decide to do so, they likely won't need Biden's help.

Best thing to do is obliterate their hydrocarbon industry....  from well to dock and pipeline.

This will fully cripple their economy, instead of stiring up a hornets nest by possibly creating a nuclear fallout cloud in that kind of attack.  Now that would be a PR nightmare.

Forget sanctions.  We know how they circumvent that.

Whatever they decide to do Biden should only learn of it after it's done and over with.

I don't know about anyone else, but the longer the Israelis wait, the stronger the response will be.  Because, of likely more complex planning and execution.

It could be happening now, and nobody is noticing because it's so clandestine.

If anyone can pull a rabbit out the Ayatollah's @ss without him realizing it, it's the Israeli's.

It's likely Biden would be the last to know.  Israel is not stupid, he leaks.
