Vice President Joe Biden earlier refused to confirm to CNN that the George W. Bush-era plan was being shelved.

But he did explain the logic of doing so, saying Iran — a key concern for the United States — was not a threat.

“I think we are fully capable and secure dealing with any present or future potential Iranian threat,” he told CNN’s Chris Lawrence in Baghdad, where he is on a brief trip.

“The whole purpose of this exercise we are undertaking is to diminish the prospect of the Iranians destabilizing that region in the world. I am less concerned — much less concerned — about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America,” he said.

Biden is an idiot. The Iranians are dangerous to our allies, or maybe he doesn’t consider Israel, Poland, etc. to be allies.
And they’re more likely to deliver a nuke to the US in a deniable way, via terrorism, than via missile.
If the Iranians do so, (G-d forbid!) [deleted]
