8216;What8217;s the greatest threat to US: Out of control Pak or Iran?8217;

8220;This is complicated stuff. The fact of the matter is that the Iranians may get 2.6 kilograms of highly-enriched uranium. But the Pakistanis have hundreds 8212; thousands of kilograms of highly-enriched uranium,8221; Biden argued in a debate among Democrats seeking the party8217;s nomination in Philadelphia.

8220;I will do all in my power to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, but I will never take my eye off the ball. What is the greatest threat to the United States of America: 2.6 kilograms of highly enriched uranium in Tehran or an out-of-control Pakistan? It8217;s not close,8221; the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said.

In what has been billed as the most lively debate among the Democrats, Biden argued, 8220;If by attacking Iran to stop them from getting 2.6 kilograms of highly-enriched uranium, the government in Pakistan falls, who has missiles already deployed with nuclear weapons on them that can reach Israel, India, then that8217;s a bad bargain.8221;

Front runner Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton came under sharp criticism for her recent vote in the Senate for a resolution calling for the designation of Iran8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation.

The Senate passed the motion by 76 to 22 with many Democrats including Biden voting against it.
