1. NO SECURITY
Marcel ,   Florida   (03.09.10)
It only takes a short memory to remember how the US insured the security of South Vietnam and did nothing when the time came to help their close allies. Don't be so gullible. Israel is naive to think or see the US as their God. It is extremely dangerous to assume such. All Biden can do is feed Israel's stumbling politicians with more Alice in Wonderland fantasies that endanger Israel's survival. The US has failed with it's land for peace scheme and the window of opportunity is it's way to squeeze Israel for more deadly concessions
2. you guy please bar that Khatami from leaving Iran !
Benjamin ,   singapore   (03.09.10)
3. Untrue
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.09.10)
Biden works for Obama, whose MiddleEast policy is dictated by the American economy (that is to say, Saudi Oil) and Rahm Emanuel (member of the extremist pro-Arab "Peace Now" organization). Israeli security and even existence is not an interest for Obama. Obama will try to establish an Arab state in Israel, no matter what the cost.
4. Biden&Prez can start by honoring letters Bush gave Sharon
Alan ,   SA   (03.09.10)

(03.09.10)
all the time.
7. Biden Is A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.
Robert Blum ,   NMew Albany USA   (03.09.10)
When Biden was a U.S. Senator, he consistently voted pro-Iran, anti-Israel. Be very wary of him!
8. Who do we believe?
(03.09.10)
Politician Biden or Obama's spiritual mentor Reverend Wright?
9. funny but Mitchel only yesterday warned
ghostq   (03.09.10)
Israel not to attack Iran something smell like anarchy in the democrat party, every one say something else soon when the ship will sink(akademocrat power in the gov) every rat for himself, they will be too busy to be on each other throts, baaaa I think they got drunken with power, usually drunken people act stupid.
10. Uh OH!
GideonReader ,   USA   (03.09.10)
OK. NOW"S the time to worry. Slow Joe Biden, the idiot traveling VP of the USA, has expressed the total and full support of the US for Israel.That is like an individual quitting his overpaid governmental job or political post to spend more time with his family. totally without even a shread of believibility. However, not withstanding the Las Vegas white smile and the bad hair plug job, I did miss seeing Slow Joe without his red ball clown nose and baggy pants and funny shoes. But,...he is still a clown.
11. 3 billion a year - Obama calls the shots
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.09.10)
The Israeli military, which is heavily reliant on the US taxpayer for funding, has been told by its US Paymaster that it is not allowed to attack Iran. So sayeth Biden and Obama.
12. What we can say about country which the best food is burger?
Hasan Akhmetov ,   Каза́нь, RUSSIA   (03.09.10)
Nonsense because of high blood presure. Biden should take more care with his burgers, maybe he does not know that President Barack Obama has High Cholesterol Due To His Sweet Tooth. On being questioned about his medical report by the reporters, President Barack Obama reiterated that he wanted to bring his cholesterol level under control and added ‘That’s a year of campaigning right there.’ However, White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs has revealed that it is actually the president’s sweet tooth and his fascination with cheeseburgers and desserts that is responsible for taking his cholesterol level to almost the borderline high range. We muslim will never accept any order from the burger nation.
13. Biden Is A Puppet (And A Dumb One!) What Does OBAMA Say?
David H ,   Marietta USA   (03.09.10)
The vitriolic, Madrasah schooled, black anti-Semite in the White House has been consistent on this one. Our American Jews are still drooling and fawning over him, but Israel, you are on your OWN!
14. talks
colin   (03.09.10)
Biden is full of sweet talks. He tries the security play to advise Israel that is his intention. Security for concessions the American way. Want planes -give the arabs ground.Want any arms and ammunition Give arabs thier wishes. What future garentees-Give abbass his WILL.Want silence from Hamas Stop building. Biden did not come to see the pretty faces of the groveling Israelis. He came with DEMANDS FROM THE ISLAMIC AMERICAN PRESIDENT.
15. Joe Biden BETRAYS Israel !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.09.10)
It was clear from the start of his mission, that Joe Biden has come to Israel as the lackey of Hussein Obama. His main objeticve is to bolster Iran and shield its criminal nuclear program from an Israeli attack. Have we already heared the unescapable argument of the IDIOTS : - Iran is isolated and we are working on sanctions - ??? Iran may be somewhat isolated , but this is meaningless, since it will become very soon a nuclear power, thanks to Hussein Obama and his fellow wimps, like Joe Biden. If Joe Biden would have been at the table in Munich in 1938, he would have probably argued, that Nazi Germany is isolated and therefore in no position to endanger world peace. History REPEATS itself, this is for sure and 2010 is the repetition of 1938 !!!!!!!!!
16. to #12 yeah and Russia high quality food
ghostq   (03.09.10)

17. Wine him dine him..show him the door
Al   (03.09.10)
18. Biden assures Israel........
DT ,   TA Israel   (03.09.10)

19. WHAT'S NEW MR.BIDEN?!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.09.10)
Mr. Biden you come from America to Palestine to hear us this boring symphony?!!! So it is tourist visit especially Madam with you.:)
20. What an array of sniveling & venom in these talkbacks
Cameron ,   USA   (03.09.10)
You would think the US & Obama was the Devil in a cloak just waiting for the right moment to sink a knife in poor, lil Israel's back. Frankly, I read these comments, and am glad you've managed to work yourselves up into a sour frenzy, and are sweating it. I'm no fan of Obama, but some of you really need to calm down & smooth out. Don't know whether to frown & shake my head at some of these comments, or just burst out laughing. Too much at times it is.
21. Bolton: Israel must attack Iran now
Norway   (03.09.10)
Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton on Sunday said Israel is now facing the reality that if it does not attack Iran very soon, it will have to accept the Islamic Republic as a nuclear power. Speaking to host Aaron Klein on WABC radio, Bolton brushed aside political and military naysayers, and insisted that Israel is capable of adequately damaging Iran's nuclear facilities. "We know about the facilities... We know where they are," Bolton said. "I think they are susceptible to an Israeli attack." The former ambassador insisted that an Israeli strike is the only option left that will prevent Iran from getting nukes, - as the Obama Administration will not act in time and weak European sanctions have proved ineffective. http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=178&nid=20710
22. Apartheid Regime & US Establishment...
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.09.10)
In bed together & two faces of the same coin. Why does this make news anyway? Biden is here to try contain the crazy apartheid regime, but ultimately assuring them he'll gladly sweep the floor and clean the mess in the aftermath. This is while Abbas the yes-man puppet tries to kiss Obama's rear to demonstrate to him how much of a good obedient boy he really is. 1,600 new illegal homes are enough tesimony that accepting to negotiate while settlements continue achieves the opposite result: it emboldens Zionists and encourages them to plunder and steal in broad daylight!
23. a lousy peace , 2 decades of lies.
pal ,   jerusalem   (03.09.10)
today 'sdeclaration of 1600 units in Jerusalem while Biden is here is a huge message to both the Americans and the palestinians that israelis are not interested in peace at all nor the 2 states solution . they wanted all (one state soluton works for us ) Abbas still doesn't get is ,erekate did . Abbas should tell MR Biden to come just for tea and try the hubly-bubbly smoke on wednsday in Ramallah (what for ???) .. declare the PA as aNULL and void entity in a news conference with Biden on your side in the same room .. as of today ,the 2 states solution is over ...occupied palestine should be declared wednsday with the 1967 borders (dotted lines only ....just like israel ) Biden to go Back to his planless Boss ,Mitchel to stay with his secretary of state who talks only about IRan Threat to Israe.
24. #21
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.09.10)
Thanks for Your information ! John Bolton has always been the best analytical mind in town, I totally agree with him.
