WASHINGTON (AP) - The son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is preparing for deployment to Iraq next year.
Captain Beau Biden is part of the 261st Signal Brigade that has been told to prepare for duty in Iraq in 2008. They have not been given a date of deployment yet.
Biden -- according to a report on Radio Iowa -- says he doesn't want his son to go to Iraq, but says he doesn't want his grandchildren having to "go back in 15 years."
Biden continues to criticize Democratic rivals such as Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama who have voted against Iraq funding bills to try to pressure President Bush to end the war.
Yep, he’s in the Delaware Army National Guard’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps.
Me too. No way I vote for him but he seem’s to at least thought out the results of his position. He seem’s to be trying to do something not just get/buy votes.
Yes, God speed and pray that this is not a publicity stunt to get Daddy’s seat. Living in Delaware, I am more than familiar with Joe Six Pack’s mouth and his liberal crap.
The kid must have a quality mother
Gosh, his son might have to go to Iraq.
Big effin deal. As if nobody else has had to experience that sort of anguish.
Joe Biden is still a plagiarist and a scumbag despite the heroics of his son(s).
Beau? Someone read Gone With The Wind wen they were with child.
Sometimes I wonder about the role of the JAGs in this war.
I can assure you the enemy considers anyone who wears a uniform where U.S. are the first initials over their left breast pocket is a combatant. All who wear the uniform of our country should be honored and not belittled because of their MOS.
I would not want to be Capt. Beau Biden for all the hairspray in the world.
Beau is the state’s Attorney General. Elected position second only to the Gov. In lint to be th next Gov. This is a big deal. http://www.bidenag.com/
> Of all the dems Biden comes closest to getting it on the WOT
I was about to say, “but wait, don’t forget Lieberman”...
But then I remembered, the RATs kicked him out of the tent.
His father.
I believe his mother died in a car crash many years ago. Apparently, she was quite an extraordinary woman. Godspeed to Capt. Biden. Go Republicans in 2008, though.
Hang on to your pants. As a combat wounded vet, I also respect the service of Capt Beau Biden, especially since his father is such a classic liberal Democrat. Of course his commitment to his country by serving in the military is especially outstanding and commendable considering the left leanings of his father. My comments were meant in jest considering the ribbing he’ll get from his buddies.
Say the rest ----- because the dad is a real POS.......
Capt Biden is doing his duty. Duty: that which is owed.
