Jerusalem Post:

WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Israel would not attack Iran without consulting the United States and that Jerusalem clearly saw sanctions as the next step to deal with Teheran’s nuclear program.

“Everyone from the Israeli prime minister straight through to the British prime minister to the president of Russia – everyone agrees the next step we should take is the UN sanction route,” Biden said on ABC’s The View.

When asked whether Israel might take military action without consultation with the US, he replied, “They’re not going to do that.”

Biden also said he expected to see sanctions coming out of the UN in the next few weeks, estimating the timeline as “by the end of this month, beginning of next month.”

Though China, one of the five members of the United Nations Security Council with veto power, has repeatedly pushed for lighter sanctions and expressed doubts about the wisdom of pursuing that path, Biden said that Beijing would support the UN effort.

“China will agree to sanctions,” Biden told The View. “This is the first time the entire world is unified. Iran is out of bounds.”

US President Barack Obama has previously given the end of spring as the time frame in which he expects to see UN sanctions approved.

Biden stressed, “We’re going to continue to keep the pressure on Iran.”

    Biden couldn’t find his own ass with both hands and a roadmap, so WTF makes him an expert on what Israel will or won’t do?

    Has Biden been on the crack pipe again? I don’t think Israel give one hoot in hell what the American administration thinks right now. The absence of Israel from Obongo’s Nuclear summit is a clear indication Israel will do whatever needs to be done to ensure the security of their tiny nation. And with a Muzzie lover in the White House, they are reasonably sure our foreign policy with respect to a nuclear Iran has no teeth. We are simply gumming the problem to death and A-Jad is enjoying the toothless blow job Obongo is giving him.

    Wanna bet? They know they no longer have a friend in the White House and the true One is not going to sit idly by and allow Israel to be destroyed. You liberals who think you are gods … get over it – you’re not!

    Probably just a rumor about shooting down the Israeli planes; however, if something like that were to happen, all kinds of hell would break loose.

    this is probably just to make Israel look bad then if they do something. Dear leader will claim that he had assurances that they wouldnt do anything and now they need to be punished or something close.

    Israel will do what is must to survive and the commanders on the ground in Iraq would be better off with a non-nuclear Iran.

    Israeli aircraft flying through the Iraq no-fly zone?….what aircraft?
