John McCain took note Monday of Joe Biden’s remarks the day before at a Seattle fundraiser (where Biden apparently didn’t realize at first there were media present). But there’s more McCain could say.
Here’s McCain, in Belton, Missouri:
Just last night, Senator Biden guaranteed that if Senator Obama is elected, we will have an international crisis to test America’s new President. We don’t want a President who invites testing from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting in two wars.
What is more troubling is that Senator Biden told their campaign donors that when that crisis hits, they would have to stand with them because it wouldn't be apparent Senator Obama would have the right response.
Forget apparent. Senator Obama won’t have the right response, and we know that because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign. He opposed the surge strategy that is bringing us victory in Iraq and will bring us victory in Afghanistan. He said he would sit down unconditionally with the world's worst dictators. When Russia invaded Georgia, Sen. Obama said the invaded country should show restraint.

That was a major Biden eff up if you ever saw one. Kristol actually spot on the ball here.
Rough translation
Elect Obama - Get attacked and he wont know how to respond.
this is scary, scary stuff.......
for all of McCains faults with his conservative credentials, I would feel a whole lot better having him in the WH than the hussein...
another thing...both the hussein camp and McCain were supposed to be briefed by the White House....what is Biden either imagining or embellishing or just telling the truth on that McCain doesn't know?.....Why would any candidate sit there and predict how unpopular they are going to be?.....I don't get it....
what does Biden mean when he wants the "community" to show support.....get in our faces?....just what....
Sort of blows away the experience argument that Powell made, doesn’t it — When your VP running mate says “aw sh.. you know he is green and gonna blow it” about the top of the ticket?
The naive waif Obama isn’t ready, Israel is most likely to pay a dear price for that fact.
Is our military ready for an invasion - a "big lie tactic" could work against a weak President. Thugs are licking their chops.
LLS
I’ve been watching Biden for a while now and I have to wonder if all these gaffes are real or is he just trying to throw Obama’s campaign? Can anyone REALLY be that stupid? I’d like to think that maybe, just maybe some dem cares enough about their country to do something like that. Oh well, one can dream.
what does Biden mean when he wants the “community” to show support
can you say “DRAFT”
I suspect that if Obama gets elected Israel will militarily butt heads with Iran before Obama and his crew can take charge in January.
Otherwise why say, "the response, will appear unappropriate" ?
I agree.....I will never see these hussein apologists in any other way than that they are traitors and enablers.....
This is in character for Shoeless Joe. He has never been able to control his mouth. Nevertheless, he really teed it up for McC. Now all McC has to do is crush it down the fairway - or if he can’t find the spine to do it, send Sarah out to do the dirty work. Senators have never liked to poop on each other.
More like martial law?
worse yet, its closing down elections, taking guns from homes, and silencing all radio and tv except for a few "good" stations.....
if he is elected, its coming......
LUCKILY....MCCAIN IS GOING TO WIN....
That's the ticket.
We should all be worried about Israel, as we flounder about like a fish out of water.
Israel has become as suicidal as the rest of the western nations, or haven't you been watching?
When the other ticket tells you that the nation will be attacked if you elect them, I think you damn well need to go on every news show and insist they should not be voted for. I know McCain mentioned this, but when your opponents admit they outright suck in a major way, you have to jump on it with both feet.
Biden didn’t just say this, he guaranteed it as a student of history who has served with seven presidents!
Weakness invites aggression! B.O.
Peace through strength=McCain
“...wouldn’t be apparent...”?
Huh? Like the train wreck that went off without a hitch...why not come out and say what the response is scheduled to be? Reminds me of a book by LaHaye and Jenkins.
The fearless leader portrayed therein had a bumbling idiot sidekick as well.
There are all kinds of bad things that can happen to which there isn’t really a “good” response - IOW you have to go to war. But our opponents hesitate to go down those roads IF they think the president is someone who will stand up to them.
We know that China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and others have been working together. This invites them to move on several fronts at once.
I wish Israel would strike now. Give me one good reason they should not strike a nation that telegraphs their intention to unleash a holocaust? Israel needs to think about its survival, not how it looks to the cringing, cowering world. Biden’s comments don’t give anyone much confidence that we would help an embattled Israel were Barry elected.
