DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Monday that Democrats shouldn't shy away from pointing out Republican failures on national security.
"If anything is shown by the British uncovering the plot on the airliners, it's simple -- we are not protected," Biden said.
Biden, who has said he is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, was in Iowa to campaign for Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, who is in a heated re-election campaign in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District.
Biden said the report of a bipartisan commission named to review the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is an example of the GOP's failure on national security.
"They gave failing grades, this bipartisan commission, to the Republican congress and to this Republican president for failing on almost every major criterion," Biden said.

Fat *ssed chance, Bucko!
No, they're just going to take the Timothy-MCVeigh-Ultra-Right-Wing approach so they can spy on all the people who voted against them.
That's what I fear as well--if they get back in power, every attack on us will be Bush's fault, when it will infact be their Jimmah Carter style foreign policy that is to blame.
Keeping the wolves from the hen-house is a failure until you can convince them not to eat meat.
That's his logic. IDIOT!!
We need both offense and defense, and the Demagogues have weakened us on both fronts over and over again. When they are honest (rare thing) they admit that they are constantly trying to shackle us to their beloved "international community" even when it could not care less about US security. In some cases, such as this airplane plot, there seems to have been good cooperation. The fact that this plot (and many others) have been uncovered indicates that we are doing a lot better than in the Clinton-Reno-Gorelick days of pre-9/11 myopia. But the Demagogues work to undermine and weaken our efforts at every turn, then whine and wail that we are not safe.
"I am not worried about the southern vote. I come from a state that engaged in slave trading."

Could he be any more stupid? The plot was in London, not here, to bomb our planes. They are the ones who don't want to continue the WOT in the first place!
JMVHO, until *his* plot is uncovered, I guess he considers himself a success...;) actually, I'm more serious than I initially intended...:|
