Sen. Joe Leiberman said Iran has "failed the test." The Democrat from Conneticut made his statement as he led a U.S. Congressional delegation to the Saban Forum here in Jerusalem, Monday.
The delegation included Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-DE) and Congressman Howard Berman (D-28th CA). They all addressed the Iranian nuclear threat.
Kaufman said Iran's nuclear program raises a "great deal of concern, while Berman said there's a "short time clock" and Graham said if Iran got a nuclear device, it would be a "game changer."
