Administration acceptance of Iranian nukes?

A Jerusalem Post report hints that there is a sense of acceptance within the Obama administration of nuclear armed Iran. 

'The United States will call for "even stricter sanctions on Iran to try to change the behavior of the regime," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a TV interview broadcast late Tuesday.

Washington remained concerned about what Clinton called Iran's "pursuit of nuclear weapons," which could "be very destabilizing in the Middle East and beyond," Clinton told the private Venezuelan television network Globovision.

Earlier Tuesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said Iran was "very focused on developing [nuclear weapons] capability, and I think when they get it, or should they get it, it will be very destabilizing."'

Oops.  I guess that just slipped out. 

US President Barack Obama told CNN US has "absolutely not" given Israel a green light for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, saying diplomacy is his preferred course of action.'

No worries.  Israel can rely on Obama's massive charisma to shield it from destruction.
