Bush's political team fired back. "Sen. Biden's gloomy view of the significant progress made in Iraq should earn him the title of pessimist in chief," said Tracey Schmitt, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.

Perfect!

Does Biden have a military record?

Has that bald headed chicken plucker ever been near or, better yet, IN a combat zone?

[Mr. Mojo]

Can't JB come up with anything original?

[ncountylee]

He won't carry his immediate family. Welcome Senator Biden.

[popdonnelly]

Biden is trying to win the votes of the "Bush is Hitler" crowd.

I really love it how the only solution these pathetic Democrats have is "get the allies involved." This, after their own guy- John Kerry- advocated DITCHING our allies in matters such as dealing with North Korea. These same pathetic Democrats did little to recognize any of the efforts any of our allies have already put towards the war in Iraq, like from Britain or Poland (we all remember Poland).

The Dems can complain all they want, but until they come up with a plausible strategy instead of some "get all of the allies involved" delusions of grandeur, they deserve not a shred of credibility. I really question whether these people have anything left to offer in the war of ideas anymore. They seem devoid of thought and loaded with nothing but vitriol.

I accuse of Biden of misleading America by saying that he actually has a brain.

[Txsleuth]

I am an American, I am a voter---and I distinctly remember President Bush saying it was going to be a long war, and difficult war, because of the type of enemy we were facing.

He included Iraq in the War on Terror and I understand why, and agree...

I have taken the time to dig through crap everyday to find the stories about the troops furnishing new schools, books and supplies, about the Iraqi Marines taking over the oil sites because they are proud of their country and the want to defend it...

President Bush is a man who gives the voter credit for remembering what he says ---AND, I KNEW before anyone told me that the "mission accomplished" sign on that aircraft carrier was for the mission that the carrier just finished, NOT the Iraq War per se...

I don't know if I can tolerate a campaign speech a day from Bloviating Biden, for the next 3 years....yikes!

Biden will never make it out of Iowa. The libs think he is Bushlite.

[Tacis]

I think Biden should level with America and admit that he has been on the payroll of the country's enemies for years! Come on, Joe, fess up! It would be the right thing for you to do!

[Sender]

...and the Democrats continue their macabre dance.

[PilloryHillary]

"The disconnect between the administration's rhetoric and the reality on the ground has opened not just a credibility gap, but a credibility chasm."

Good work Senator Biden. You sound just like John Kerry, and after the last election, he's still just a senator from Taxachusetts.

[Soul Seeker]

And the 'Support the Troops Democrats' show their support by trashing the troops performance, the war and their C-I-C!! Well done! You Dems are brilliant! Siding with the enemy to defat this country will win you many votes...in al-Quida's circles.

Rather than playing Pessimist-In-Chief Biden should try performing his own job and giving Bolton and up or down vote.

[NordP]

Blah, blah, blah....yahda,yahda, yahda.

[kublia khan]

Perhaps Biden should give a little more thought to the situation before he tries to level with anyone about anything. The truth of the matter is a loss in Iraq is going to lead to consequences similar to those in Vietnam. The losses will only begin in Iraq. The democracy movement in Iran will be set back 20 years. The baby steps made by Mubarak in Egypt? pointless. Lebanon reacquired as a Syrian province. This is only the beginning of the domino effect. Biden is a living example of that old adage "Those who refuse to learn from history are destined to repeat it".

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Biden is definitely running in 2008 with all this TV exposure on about every issue.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Has anyone else noticed that the communists in the 'RAT party seem to be taking turns attacking President Bush and America. It started with Red Ted and Boxer. Then it was Pelosi and Reid. Then Dickie bin Durbin, Rangel, Biden and now Chuckybumps Schumer. It appears to me that these people are either really sick or they got a hold of some bad weed.

[Dale 1]

It seems that this far out from the election Biden should be telling people why he's a good candidate. Instead he's bashing Bush. Don't tell him, but Bush isn't running in 08.

[sirthomasthemore]

Opportunist. He's trying to position himself as the Vietnam anti-war candidate Kennedy/McCarthy thing, as opposed to Hillary who supported Iraq.

The vacuity of all this is that, no matter how they try, the Dems can't transform this war into Vietnam. North Vietnam never attacked Americans on American soil. In the '70's, if and when we withdrew from Vietnam, no harm was going to come to our homeland.

On the other hand, if we withdraw from Iraq, it doesn't end terrorism and it doesn't make the home land safer. If anything, the home land is in more jeopardy.

I honestly don't comprehend what the Dems hope to achieve with this anti-war rhetoric- it's all lost when the first idiot with a bomb on his back blows himself up in a ny subway.

[armymarinemom]

It looks like he has decided to use a combination of Wesley Clark's, and Howard Dean's speeches. I knew he couldn't come up with anything original. History does repeat itself.
