EXCERPT:
BIDEN: “Well, I can understand why in this circumstance they [inaudible]. I can understand that. But I would not — you notice I don’t say things like that unless I have faith in the source from which I’ve gotten it.

So that’s why, if you notice, I didn’t say at first, I wanted to make sure that I knew. Look — and I’m not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it either. That’s [inaudible]. And it’s not the first time Hamas has launched something that didn’t function. So, I don’t know all the detail, but I do know the people at the Defense Department, who I respect, and in the intelligence community that I respect, it is highly improbable that Israel did that.”
