What is more troubling is that Senator Biden told their campaign donors that when that crisis hits, they would have to stand with them because it wouldn't be apparent Senator Obama would have the right response.

This was the crux of the Biden biscuit... and it's being ignored by the DBM. IMO, Biden knows that Obama will not fight... and as a result, Israel will be thrown under the bus.

But it’s all about tax credits for the “Middle” class right. Right out of the “Rules for Radicals”. Obama’s foreign policy is FDR mid 1930’s, ignore the world and work on that socialism at home.

I couldn't find the video but here is the audio:
Evaluation: Joe Biden Admits that if Obama is Elected, "We're going to have an international crisis”

That was my first thought, too. That and capitulation, with martial law being imposed to prevent our objections to it.

Remember, one of the Weather Underground’s plans after they took over the government (which they really believed they could do in the 1970s) was to divide the US into areas to be occupied by their allies (our enemies): North Vietnam, Cuba, Communist China, Russia.

There is another possibility considering the audience he is addressing - the peacenicks.

Biden know Obama will be “tested” because he is perceived as weak.
Which means Obama may have to respond with great force to discourage further “testing”.

Biden might be telling these people that their peace loving false messiah might have to become a warmonger.

We should all be worried about Israel, as we flounder about like a fish out of water.

That's funny, we are floundering around. Now why might that be? Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Rep, Franks, Sen Dodd, Pelosi, Reed and the rest of the Democrat Party's socialist brain trust (brains and Democrats just don't seem to go together, does it) — Did I miss any of the socialist losers in the line up, maybe they know why we are floundering around, they should, because they caused it.

Last time I looked Israel was on the nuclear madman of Iran's list, right before the USA. I know liberals think the mere presence of them and their superior personality, will make madmen shirk in fear, but history tells otherwise.

The Naive One is a disaster for democratic countries that sheltered in the projection of strength that the USA gave them. The shield of weakness that Obama projects, well that's just suicide for these countries who are too small to defend themselves.

But OBiden got it right, the Naive One will likely start his magical mystery tour to nowhere land, with Iran nuking Israel and then Israel retaliating with nukes against Iran. That's the floundering around that awaits. That's what OBiden said, that is what awaits the world, and sadly, he is right.

Socialism doesn't fail, it just runs out of other people's money to give away. Why work, when the pies are free.

They may not be capable of pulling off anything but a suicide mission. Is that good enough?

Code Pink, you’ve done a fine job on the last administration, but stand down when The One sends your sons (and daughters) to Kenya.

I’ve been watching Biden for a while now and I have to wonder if all these gaffes are real or is he just trying to throw Obama’s campaign?

Although Biden has a long and sorted history of these sorts of gaffs, when I heard this latest one the first thing that crossed my mind was that Biden might be having second thoughts about being #2 to That One....then again, he is Joe Biden, the human gaff machine extraordinaire.....

Elect Obama - Get attacked and he wont know how to respond.

He as much said that Obama is not ready for the presidency. McCain and Palin are.

Actually, Palin has more executive experience than any of the other three hopefuls put together.

IOW, Iran would bomb Israel and the O administration would stand by and do nothing.

That seems to be his method of operation.

Don’t just do something, stand there.

Given his track record, his “religion” and his “friends”... I'll stick with my opinion.

This is vintage Biden.

Biden was thrust onto O by Kennedy in exchange for the endorsement.

Kennedy, Biden, Dodd, Kerry, and now O are part of a far far left cabal out to destroy our country as we know it.

I think Kristol has it wrong. The tendency of a person like Obama is to compensate for his lack of experience by overreacting. Rather than do nothing, he is just as likely to do way too much.

Bill Kristol, the effervescent POS CINO (conservative in name only) can just STFU! McCain doesn’t need any advise from this ITB (inside the beltway) poser. Kristol craves attention from the liberal media. Every time he needs a little more ‘validation’ from them, he stabs conservatives, Republicans, and McCain in the back. Screw him.

My thinking is that BO and/or biden were both briefed on one or more imminent attacks, mainly against Israel, and BO intends NOT to defend Israel. That is what I think biden means when we won’t like their response.

No no. Biden is the smartest man in the room...no matter who else is in the room. Just ask him.

The electorate of this country really scares the hell out of me. They have the attention span of a toddler. I don’t understand how ANYONE can forget those planes crashing and killing thousands of innocent people, right here and on LIVE tv!! We have not completely neutralized the threat, in fact the threat has now grown bigger.

Suckers, if they believe if we are nicer then everyone will be nicer. Healthcare really won’t be too much of an issue if we get hit with a dirty bomb. Suicide bombers in the malls will definately have a huge impact on the economy, don’t ya think?

Not for nothing but I have two teenage boys, one will be 18 this December the other 17. Both want to join the military, but the thought of being drafted to serve under this freaking incompetent moron scares the mess out of me. I could give a **** if Colin Powell is there advising him! Once the cat is out of the bag, he ain’t going back in.
