Tel-Chai Nation

Well I guess this was bound to be seen. According to Haaretz (via Hugh Hewitt and Judith Klinghoffer), this is what Barack Obama's foreign policy will look like:

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."

If Obama is elected, heaven help us all. Just like Obama, Biden too is awful. Of course, Dubya has done nothing concrete to speak of about the Iranian nuclear problem, which means that he's not much different from Obama and Biden in practical terms on this issue.
