Obama Puts Sock in Biden's Mouth

When we reported yesterday that Vice President Biden had given the appearance of a US okay for an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, we said "It will be interesting to see if the White House press office feels the need to 'clarify' Biden's remarks."

The administration has done exactly that, see the AFP story here. A State Department spokesman said of Biden's remarks:
I certainly would not want to give a green light to any kind of military action.
The famous Biden mouth has struck again.
