Rhetorical Question (Biden said give money to Iran so they won't hate us.)
The New Republic ^ | 10/22/2001 | Michael Crowley

Posted on 08/30/2008 6:49:36 AM PDT by NoobRep

At the Tuesday-morning meeting with committee staffers, Biden launches into a stream-of-consciousness monologue about what his committee should be doing, before he finally admits the obvious: "I'm groping here." Then he hits on an idea: America needs to show the Arab world that we're not bent on its destruction. "Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran," Biden declares. He surveys the table with raised eyebrows, a How do ya like that? look on his face.

The staffers sit in silence. Finally somebody ventures a response: "I think they'd send it back." Then another aide speaks up delicately: "The thing I would worry about is that it would almost look like a publicity stunt." Still another reminds Biden that an Iranian delegation is in Moscow that very day to discuss a $300 million arms deal with Vladimir Putin that the United States has strongly condemned. But Joe Biden is barely listening anymore. He's already moved on to something else.

Unbelievable. In 2001, just weeks after 9/11, he suggests that we need to give $200 million to the terrorist regime of Iran so they won't hate us. Wow. This clown should be nowhere near the Oval Office.

Biden was a protector of Iran and Syria after 9/11 and after we invaded Iraq. It was very bizarre and I fear for this country if Obama/ Biden are elected.

This is a Demonrat. Demonrats are like that and that is why they are domestic enemies. That is why we cannot afford to have Obama and Biden because we may not make it to 4 yrs. with that severe a blow. The world loves Demonrats because the world loves Americans to be ashamed of their country and apologetic for being American.

Ummm...and Iran is NOT Arab. Biden sounds like a complete and total idiot. “how do you like that?”???!!! Indeed.

Persia is Indo-european racially, and has a culture that evolved quite separately from “the Arab world”.

Not sure I would ever want to call a Persian an “Arab” to their face. I believe it would be considered pretty offensive.

He HEHEhe!

all up to their asterisks!

let the book boil down, end days are sooner than Iran imagines...

I am pretty much convinced a glazing is on its way... soon, real soon irrespective of what ANYONE here on earth has to say.

The only thing that might prevent it is a mass 24 hr. conversion of the mohammedans to christianity....

and we know the odds on that one!

Nutjob....hang onto your socks!

He should take his meds before he goes to work, just like normal people.

Google "Tripolitan war" and send the results to Biden's office. Sign the card George Santayana.

Typical liberal sentiment to pay tribute to avoid hostilities.

This is akin to giving lunch money to a bully.

Nobody questions whether Plugs’ intellect (and his emotional control) was affected by his aneurysms, or whether he was always a garrulous gas bag.

Like Obama, if you talk a good game with a serious face. most democrats are impressed.

"Give an enemy a fish and he'll eat for a day. Give your enemy an AK-47 and he'll blow you away and take your fishing tackle."

Iran's president: "My-Mood I'm in Jihad" wants ONLY by any and every means necessary including mass destruction, Islamify the entire world to pave the way for their next prophet/messiah (whatever his title is) and no amount of money or appeasement will make that nutjob like us.

It's like the president in the movie "Independence Day" asking the alien if we can have peace and the alien replies "no peace" and then the president asks the alien what it is they want and the alien replies "die"
That about sums up Mock-Mood's philosophy and goals towards the U.S. and Israel.

Token Joe reminds be of the old adage, "'Tis better to keep your mouth shut and be thought to be stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt!".

All liberals undoubtedly come from one or two backgrounds:

1). A rich family who saw that every problem was solved by money, or...

2) A long string of entitlements to solve basic problems like hunger, housing, medical, a new cadillac, bling-bling, etc.

Or it could be that the old "protection racket" is in play...pay them so they won't beat us up.
