Biden is correct. We needed more troops.
Hey, don't sell this guy short - Biden knows a good speech when he steals one!
Biden...aggravated 'cause he lost his chance to become SoS?
He couldn't find one because no one wanted to be misquoted, plagerized, or taken out of context.
So what's the problem? Isn't this what he's supposed to say? I don't really trust the Republican Party's 'top foreign policy expert' completely either. It's hard to know exactly what's going on in Iraq. It's a big country (not exactly Lichtenstein). There is very little instant access to information and there's alot going on. Republicans focus on the good news. Democrats focus on the bad news. It's hard to put a complete picture together. All we are left with is to weed out the truth from the propaganda.
Biden... Isn't he the Senator whose Presidential quest died when he was exposed has having plagerized foreign communists? Interpreting his remarks in this context makes them rather unremarkable. So why is this news?
Didn't Neil Kinnock say the exact same thing?
"Sen. Joe Biden complained that while U.S. forces have won every battle, the Bush administration's flawed strategy has doomed the war effort."
Remember Cronkite said basically the same thing about Vietnam and look what happened. In the 80s I read a book "The Tunnels of Cu Chi" and at the end they talked with the architect of the NVA victory and he said after the TET offensive they either had to get the US to the table to negotiate them out of the war or they were going to have to give up. That was quite different from what Cronkite said after the TET offensive.
Are we in for an instant replay here? If Biden gets his way we are.
We can't lose, but there is nothing to win either. This war is Iraq's war not ours. They brought us in, indirectly for sure, but a win for us would not be the gain of territory, swag, or slaves, the traditional signs of victory. The best case is to have the election and get out. Hopefully Iran would then not collapse like Vietnam. Even if it does, it wouldn't be our business. The best outcome would be some peace and d@#$ quiet in the 'hood.
Sen Joe Biden is of so little importance, a Zit trying to be a Boil. Delaware deserves better representation that what Out of the Biden can give them. This guy wants to tie the hands of our government in trying to find the Terrorists and the Zarqawi Insergents who are killing our sons and daughter in Iraq.
He and Teddy have no useful purpose for their party or for the people they claim to represent. The are Socialists, not Americans. They should be replaced with persons who will uphold and defend our Constitutional Republic.
One can envision Joe Biden anxiously rubbing his hands together while watching bodies floating in the surf at Omaha Beach, saying the same thing.
It's a "vision thing", Joe. You don't have it. It's unlikely you ever will.
Are these remarks his, or did he plagirize them from Neil Kinnock? (c8
Biden is losing even more ..Illegitimate.. crediblity..
Question, Joe; How many US commanders did you interview in the hotel bar while you were in Baghdad?
He's best remembered for chairing the committee that, with a straight face, allowed Ted Kennedy to lecture Clarence Thomas on how not to treat a woman.
More evidence that America dodged a bullet on 11/2.
"Biden needs to be scalped"====
-----that's funny, considering his bad hair transplant.
Besides, how would he know?
His comprehension of strategic matters is right up there with Eleanor Rodham Clift and Terry McAwful.
