ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.
Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Has “Stand Up” Joe just announced Israel will hit Iran after the elections?
By all means, send in the Freshman.
The link was on Drudge
did joe really say that?????..if the GOP don’t run with that as an ad..they deserve to lose..”Even the One’s running mate says he will be tested because of his inexperience..why should we take that risk”..oh come on..this stuff writes itself..
Biden was being honest, they will take advantage of Obama. America is buying into a crisis with this guy. This is all so preposterous.
And what are we supposed to do, all chant “I believe, I believe ....”?
Who will generate this crisis, Joe?
Gosh, I hope it's not anyone who endorsed the guy at the top of your ticket.
And tell me, Joe, will it be the kind of generated crisis that will require, say, the suspension of the Constitution and the imposition of martial law?
Grid your Lions!
Kind of undercut the supposed value of the Powell endorsement, didn’t he?

GUYS, YOU NEED TO EMAIL THIS TO ALL TALKING HEADS NOW.....
DO YOUR SHARE OF WORK IF YOU WANT MCCAIN TO WIN....
i find loin girding so uncomfortable.
More likely, Obama will order US planes to take down the Israeli strike package heading to Iran.
Remember, Biden said Obama would make an “unpopular” decision.
“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”
That ought to be the election. If McCain emphasizes that the world will be less likely to attack us with a seasoned veteran at the helm rather than Obambi, that might make some voters think twice.
Joe, the gift that keeps on giving. People will be praying for Cheney to come back.
This really needs to be an ad, stat!
More likely, Obama will order US planes to take down the Israeli strike package heading to Iran.

Say it isn’t so, Joe....
November 5th through Jan 20th provides enough time - if they’re already prepared.
“Be afraid .. be very afraid” has ahem, jumped the shark.
Is stable hand a union job, can he gird his own loins or does he need an assistant? Just wondering.
Is this where he ends up supporting the Muslims as he suggested in his book?
Quite frankly, I think we’re gonna get hit in the first year, possibly within months, of the new administration, regardless of whether it is McCain or Obama. Our enemies are going to test their new opponent.
