Biden: 20 percent of GOP ‘probably ready to go to war on any circumstance’ By Klaus Marre Posted: 05/23/08 11:55 AM [ET] Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) said Friday that “20 percent of the Republican Party is probably ready to go to war on any circumstance.”
Biden, the outspoken chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made the remark in the context of refuting charges that Democrats are weak on national security issues.
“I’m sick and tired of Republicans characterizing Democrats, generally, as well as [Sens. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.)], as being weak on national security,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today Show.”
“The truth is, we’ve never been weaker in the last 100 years in terms of our position in the world than under this administration,” he claimed.
Biden said Democrats should “not back away,” although he acknowledged a significant anti-war constituency within the party.

The scorpion must sting the frog, and Democrats must appease our enemies.
Biden, blow it out your a$$!!
“The truth is, we’ve never been weaker in the last 100 years in terms of our position in the world than under this administration,” he claimed.
Well, let’s see…just off the top of my head: There was Pearl Harbor, pulling out of Vietnam, the Cuban crisis of the early 60’s and President Carter’s tenure in the late 70’s. Humm….three out of just those four were under Democrat management….hmmm
“If the Dems controlled things when 9-11 happened, Osama Bin Laden would be teaching at Columbia right now.”
Actually he would be teaching at the Glorious Martyrs of 9-11 Madrassas, formerly known as Columbia University. And all of the female faculty would be in his harem.

Totally false... We were weaker in 1917. It took over a year to recruit and train enough troops to engage the Germans effectively. We were weaker in 1941. It took over two years before we were able to effectively engage German and Japanese ground forces. We were weaker in 1950 when we had to call up WWII veterans to go to Korea to stop the North Korean who almost succeeded in driving us into the sea. And, we were certainly weaker in 1979 when Jimmie Carter couldn't muster the will to face down the same Iranians that we are now having to deal with.
Bottom line - Biden is clueless and talking out his ass. Making such a statement characterizes him as a comedian and a craven politician of the lowest order.

The real question is: from which leftist loony (or loonies) did he plagiarize that remark?
72% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I was just suggesting to a friend that we invade Venezuela. For the oil.
And the problem with this concept is.....??
Mexico first.
And I’m sick of people laughing when I tell them who my Senator is.
He is a bully, an idiot, a plagarist and a liar.
Dear Mr. Biden,
I offer the following as proof of the preposterously ludicrous lie your above statement is.
And I offer the following, as the single most damaging administration that has ever sat in the White House.
Democrats are portrayed as weak on national security, because frankly as a party they are.. pure and simple... Another photo to further prove this point.
I await your reply.

This is one of those oft repeated left wing propaganda lines that’s not true. We beat the snot out of AL Quada and the Taliban, Saddamn is mouldering in the grave and Iraq is about to stand on their own, Europe is trending right wing: France, Germany and Italy all have elected conservatives. The left is collapsing in Britain. Our enemies don’t dare provoke W.
