Biden: Israel has 'sovereign right' to attack Iran
Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2009-07-06 00:00.
Google that headline - the story is everywhere. Biden says Israel has the right as an independent nation to attack the nation of Iran. Of course the planes and bombs would be paid for by the citizens of the United States, but since when does a nation have the right to violate the UN Charter and attack another? Since the US attacked Iraq and got away with it? Does Iran have the same sovereign right to attack Israel? Does Canada have the sovereign right to attack the United States?

What a surprise
Joe Biden really does not know the difference between right and wrong. He does not know the difference between aggression and defense. It is embarrassing that we have such a fool for a vice president.

Biden Going Forward Without Bush Accountability
Biden is pressing forward without any Bush accountability whatsoever for attacking Iraq without the required 2nd UN Security Council Resolution, making Bush's invasion, occupation, and everything that followed, a War of Aggression, a Supreme Crime Against Humanity, totally illegal and immoral, as defined at Nuremberg by the United States itself and their allies. Without holding Bush accountable, Biden is looking forward with both of his eyes shut and what comes out of his mouth is not what once defined America as a law abiding nation.
Without Bush accountablity
There is no difference between republicans and democrats....none of our rights, including habeas corpus are coming back, so why respect the rights of other countries? They have decided to let Israel invade Iran (I guess we can't provide all the aggression, some has to come from other sources). Now that the oil contracts from Iraq are in the hands of big oil like Shell, Exxon, BP, etc, they want to expand. We have become a corporate dictatorship. Obama will be no better than bush, he has no interest in our civil rights, let alone the rights of oil rich countries. Its a shell game, and I for one will never vote again.
Our republic is dead, and any of the values it might have held are dead as well.
