Biden sees 'less than even' chance of nuclear deal with Iran (How about zero chance?)
Reuters ^ | Sat Dec 6, 2014 2:56pm EST

WASHINGTON - Biden, speaking at a forum on the Middle East at the Brookings Institution think tank, rejected calls for more sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program because "this is not the time to risk a breakdown when we still have a chance for a breakthrough."

Biden said the sanctions imposed by the United States and allies were working by slowing Iran's economy, as well as its nuclear program.

"It's frozen the program, it's given us a shot for a peaceful solution," he said. "I tell you, I think it's a less than even shot but it's a shot, nonetheless."

Iran is always ready to make a deal because they never have any intention of keeping their end.

This is why he’s the V.P., his acute ability to conceptualize circumstances on the fly.

It was almost as big a qualification as his toenail clippings collection...

Biden “sees” a lot of things. Dementia does that.

Born may not envision or desire a “ deal” letting the islamonazis have nuclear icbm’s. But his boss is continuing on target defending and funding then. And that’s what counts right now. As has been said, the vp job ain’t worth a spittoon full of spit ( and that’s the cleaned- up version).

Not True, Secretary of State John Kerry, who was in Vietnam by the way, has gone above and beyond to insure that Iran sells it’s Nukes to Isis. In just a short amount of time we will see the fruits of his negotiations play out.

Well maybe we need to sweeten the pot Joe. After all the deal is the goal here, security be damned.

Biden.

Think Tank.

I don’t know what it is, but those two don’t belong together.

"It's frozen the program, it's given us a shot for a peaceful solution," he said.
IOW, he's lying -- there's been no freeze, and furthermore, Lurch, Plugs, and Zero have been releasing $700 million a month to support the mullahcracy and its drive to build nuclear weapons.

And all three of them know it.

And all three of them support it.

There is already the Islamic nuclear bomb — the Pakistanis declared their nuclear weapons to be at the service of Islam in 1999 when they tested chinese made bombs.
