Another legacy of you-know-who!
Hawks, doves on Hill praise Powell's speech
I watched Joe Biden on CSPAM last night. If you didn't see the "D" after his name, you'd think you were listening to someone in the administration.
Biden is a cold-eyed realist, he didn't say one thing that I could quibble with. He knows where going to war and he can articulate exactly why.
He made one good point on preemption. He says this isn't preemption, it's enforcement of the 1991 peace agreement. Big difference and good point.
He feels that we will need a lot of international help with the nation-building phase which he thinks will be long and difficult.
He wants to get as much of the world on board and signed up to the largest extent possible - it can only help later on.
He says he might have handled things differently at various points but he says "we are where we are" so we have to proceed on that basis.
He is very careful in what he says and what he attributes to others.
When did this guy grow a pair? He used to be a typical spinelss democrat. He has certainly increased in stature in my view.
