WASHINGTON (AP) - The son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is preparing for deployment to Iraq next year.

Captain Beau Biden is part of the 261st Signal Brigade that has been told to prepare for duty in Iraq in 2008. They have not been given a date of deployment yet.

Biden -- according to a report on Radio Iowa -- says he doesn't want his son to go to Iraq, but says he doesn't want his grandchildren having to "go back in 15 years."

Biden continues to criticize Democratic rivals such as Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama who have voted against Iraq funding bills to try to pressure President Bush to end the war.

Not well publicized that Biden criticizes his fellow Democrats for not voting to fund the Iraq war.

"Biden -- according to a report on Radio Iowa -- says he doesn't want his son to go to Iraq, but says he doesn't want his grandchildren having to "go back in 15 years."

This guy is utterly clueless (big surprise, eh?) as to the extent and scope of the War on Islamic Terrorism. We will be fighting these cockroaches until Armageddon.

So Biden now thinks we should WIN!? Now please Joe tell your fellow Rats to support the mission and our troops for a change.

Godspeed Capt. Biden.

No one in their right mind wants their children to go to war and be put in danger.

amen

But that’s impossible. Charlie Rangel explained to us that only the poor and non-white and underprivileged are going over to fight in Iraq, because they can’t get jobs here.

Of all the dems Biden comes closest to “getting it” on the WOT. Which isn’t saying much. God bless his son.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Biden is the only Democrat who I wouldn’t regard as a complete catastrophe if he won the Presidency. Of course, he’s unelectable for the same reasons.

[Paperdoll]

I hope the Lord protects him, as well as Duncan Duane, and the sons of friends of mine over there, and I pray that all our brave troops come home, “carrying their shields” one day soon.

Captain Beau Biden, America’s finest. Thanks for serving.

[MileHi]

Well, may God keep Captain Biden. And thnks for his service. You can’t choose your parents...

[oldbill]

I think Biden’s son is a JAG (lawyer), not a combatant, unless he changed his MOS.

In that lunatic region, he might be near harm’s way, but I don’t think he’ll be charging up Hill 207.

[bnelson44]

As my son (who has a combat MOS) says: everyone is in combat in Iraq.

[Kakaze]

I wish Capt. Biden the best.......and won't it be interesting to see how Joe's opinion changes once his son is in theater.

You have to wonder how his attitude will change when his son starts telling him the real story.

Godspeed CPT Biden,

'Hope he's quicker on the uptake than SlowJoe.
