Palin Runs with Biden's Test Warning [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Sarah Palin in Reno today, via the campaign:
Two weeks from today, Americans will be asked to cast their vote for the next president of the United States. There’s no time to wait. Let’s get right to it.
Did you hear what Senator Biden said at a fundraiser on Sunday? He guaranteed that if Barack Obama is elected, we’ll face an international crisis within the first six months of their administration. He told Democrat donors to mark his words – that there were “at least four or five scenarios” that would place our country at risk in an Obama administration. Thanks for the warning, Joe!
He didn’t specify what all those four or five scenarios will be, but for clues, let’s review the Obama foreign policy agenda.
Our opponent wants to sit down with the world’s worst dictators. With no preconditions, he proposes to meet with a regime in Teheran that vows to “wipe Israel off the map.” Let’s call that crisis scenario number one.
Senator Obama has also advocated sending our U.S. military into Pakistan without the approval of the Pakistani government. Invading the sovereign territory of a troubled partner in the war against terrorism. We’ll call that scenario number two.
He opposed the surge strategy that has finally brought victory in Iraq within sight. He’s voted to cut off funding for our troops, leaving our young men and women at grave risk. He wants to pull out, leaving some 25 million Iraqis at the mercy of Iranian-supported Shiite extremists and al Qaeda in Iraq. By his own admission, this could mean our troops would have to go back to Iraq. Crisis scenario number three.
After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence – the kind of response that would only encourage Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine next. That would be crisis scenario number four.
But I guess the looming crisis that most worries the Obama campaign right now is Joe Biden’s next speaking engagement. Let’s call that crisis scenario number five.
The real problem is that these warnings from Joe Biden are similar to his earlier assessment of Barack Obama. It wasn’t so long ago that he said Barack Obama wasn’t up to the job, and that, quote, “the presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
The same Joe Biden said he would be honored to run on the ticket with John McCain because, quote, “the country would be better off.” And here we have some common ground. I want a president who spent 22 years in uniform defending our country. I want a president who isn’t afraid to use the word “victory” when he talks about the wars we are fighting. I want a president who’s ready on Day One. I want a president with the experience and the judgment and the wisdom to meet the next international crisis – or better yet to avoid it. I want John McCain as our commander-in-chief.
Thanks for the 'WARNING', Joe.
We’re with you Sarah! Go Sarah Go!
Joe Biden should be nicknamed
JOE THE DUMBER
bttt
GO SARAH!!!!!!
I guess she told HIM!
Gotta say this for Slow Joe — he’s always good for a sound bite! Keep ‘em comin’ Joe!
After Joe said this - who in their right mind would vote for Obama-Biden? What is he talking about?
Did Joe find out who is really behind Obama and is Joe warning us?
Did Joe find out that the Saudis or worse are backing Obama’s campaign?
Not even the most clueless liberal democratic party attack mongrel has suggested that anyone would 'test' Sarah Palin in the first six months!!!
Geee...you think maybe no one has suggested that--because they would have to 'go through' John McCain first? lol
Damn, she’s good! Note that Biden knows they won’t test McCain/Palin!!!
LOVE IT!!!
Wow....has Sarah nailed it with Biden’s OWN foreign policy gaffe..........great speech.
Someone needs to notify Homeland security. Evidently Biden has information on an impending terrorist attack, and he is not saying where he got this information.
I bet Barry is giving Ol’ Joe the paddling of his life about now.
Both the tickets were given an intel briefing a week ago or so. Its just Good Ol' Joe who can't keep a secret. As a Senator he is so used to 'leaking' info to the press he just doesn't know when to stop.
When I was in the military, in an ASA unit, we were always so surprised at how much the democrat lawmakers would compromise top secret information to the press daily. They really do hate this country
Biden only opens his mouth----
to switch feet.
Go, Joe, Go!!!..lol
