It Ain't So, Joe (Biden)
Investors Business Daily ^ | Jan. 6, 2007 | IBD

Posted on 01/06/2007 3:55:03 PM PST by FairOpinion

Iraq: Winning is not an option in Iraq, says Joe Biden, new head of the Foreign Relations Committee and 2008 presidential candidate. Will President Bush have to fight a white-flag Congress as much as the terrorists?

The way Joe Biden sees it, the White House already knows America is going to lose the Iraq War.

Biden's cynicism is matched by new Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who co-wrote a letter last week warning the president that more troops in Iraq would "stretch our military to the breaking point."

The Democrats' defeatism is debunked in an exhaustive new analysis from the American Enterprise Institute

As the new Democratic Congress formulates a U.S. surrender, it still faces a formidable obstacle: a president committed to winning who still has a lot of new intellectual firepower behind him.

The worst and most dangerous enemies of the US and the American people are not the terrorists, we can fight those, but the Democrats, who want to sabotage our ability to keep us safe, from the inside.

To secure Dhimmirat victory in 2008... Biden has simply calculated that America must pull out in disgrace by the end of 2007.

"President Joseph Biden announces US policy will be to accelerate defeat in Iraq"

Maybe, now that Mark Dayton is gone. But Patricia Bin Murray of Washington and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan make him look positively intelligent by comparison.

That such a fraud and empty suit as Biden is still serving in the Senate, says a lot about the collective idiocy of the voters in Delaware.

Winning is not an option in Iraq, says Joe Biden,

Intelligence, clarity of vision and the truth about what's REALLY happening in Iraq are not options for Joe Biden, says Allegra.

'We need to send white towels to Biden...'

My first thought too! Maybe we ALL need to send white flags to Biden, Reid, Kennedy, Murtha etc.

Think I'll mail some white flags on Monday with notes....'to be used when you surrender America to her enemies.'

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

We need to get a bunch of them up to Capitol Hill in time for the hearings...and for use after Pres. Bush's speech.

We know that Pres. Bush will say what he will...he won't pay attention to Joe Biden...but, I am sure Biden and the rest will be screaming bloody murder the day after the speech.

I do know that Sec. of Def. Gates is due to go in front of the House and Senate Armed Forces Committees on Thurs. and Friday of next week...but, that will be after Pres. Bush's speech.

Did you hear that Joe Biden is actually thinking of doing something unprecedented....and that is to go BACK to the agreement that Congress voted on in 2002, that gave Pres. Bush the "permission" to attack Iraq...and see if he can get THAT resolution OVERTURNED!!!

I read that that hasn't been done before, and that author of the article wasn't sure how Biden intends to present his case...but that is what Biden wants to do!!

Talk about Monday morning quarterbacking!!!!

If I were the head of any nation in the world, I would refuse to support the foreign policy of the United States. Imagine how Tony Blair must feel. We have forfeit any claim to finishing any job. We are no longer the United States. We are as disunited as we can possibly be and a dangerous partner to support.

I'm just glad our military isn't stretched as tight as Nancy's face.
