Biden: US Ready To Take Pre-Emptive Action On Iran
3 News ^ | February 8, 2009

Vice President Joe Biden warned Saturday that the US stands ready to take pre-emptive action against Iran if it does not abandon nuclear ambitions and its support for terrorism.

But in his first major policy speech as President Barack Obama's No 2, Biden also declared the US open for talks with Iran and Russia to repair relations. And he reached out to the world with a promise that the Obama administration will work with allies to solve global problems.

"We will draw upon all the elements of our power - military and diplomatic, intelligence and law enforcement, economic and cultural - to stop crises from occurring before they are in front of us," he told the gathering in his 25-minute address.

I guess the next time Charlie Gibson asks Sarah Palin about the ‘Bush Policy’ she can answer “Charlie, I think you mean the ‘Biden Policy’.”

Ouch! That might hurt his feelings!

I feel sorry for any member of the military having to take orders from the Commander In Chief and his sidekick Plugs.

>> If it were possible to talk out of three sides of his mouth

I didn’t see it, but what a sight it must have been.

When Biden speaks, words pour forth from all sides of EVERY orifice.

“Biden: US Ready To Take Pre-Emptive Action On Iran”

Surely this is a misstatement and VP Biden meant to say “US Ready To Talk Pre-Emptive Action On Iran”. This is the same policy Pres. Clinton had, they will only act as a diversion, when their chestnuts are getting singed , and that will be a couple of missiles at a tent. We have seen their reaction when real action is taken, they go apoplectic.

Can you imagine the world reaction if we filled about 200 B-52s with live pigs and dropped them on the streets of Teran all at the same time?

What did those pigs do to deserve such a thing? ;-)

Hillary Clinton in her Black Pants suit with the scarf in gray checks and matching kneepads will lead the delegatioon to Qum to meet with the Mullahs.

The pre emptive genuflection to the power of peace will be the action and will be hailed world wide as the greatest peace making effort in world history

Anything to get Americans’ attention off of Glorious Leader’s string of nightmare executive orders, felon appointments, and his soon-to-be-announced martial law decree.

Maybe he is going to issue them “piggy parachutes” or use the model in post 16, supposedly they won’t have to worry about being eaten.

Right. They will fly over Tehran and drop Hillary by parachute and let her land on the little idiot's head, and talk him to death.
