Biden: No Sign Iran Attack On UK Embassy Was Orchestrated

[Purveyor]

ARBIL, Iraq - US Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he had no indication the attack on the British embassy in Tehran was orchestrated by Iranian authorities, but it was another example of why the country was a "pariah."

Biden, wrapping up a three-day visit to mark the end of the American war in Iraq, played down the risk of Iran exploiting the departure of US troops by the end of the year.

He also said the threat of instability in Syria spilling across its borders was not grounds for Syrian President Bashar Assad to stay in power.

"I don't have any indication how and/or if it was orchestrated," Biden told Reuters in an interview, of the attack on the British embassy on Tuesday. "But what I do know is that it is another example to the world and the region that these guys are basically a pariah internationally."

1. I notice he didn't say whether he'd close the American Embassy there

Michele Bachmann is the only one with the guts, and more importantly the ignorance, to do that. :patriot:
