"Mark My Words..." Joe Biden on International Crisis
Press EN
"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate..." Senator Joe Biden. October 20, 2008
The Last Eight Years of Failed Policies?
think that it is the exact point that President George W. Bush has been making and John McCain has been reiterating--"the failed policies of the last 8 years" have not produced a great international crisis since JFK. It is without doubt that this kind of political blunder is exactly what Biden offers the ticket--and the country. The sad thing is that it is also the kind of truth that makes Obama a tragic choice for American Voters. The choice makes for a weak military, bad foreign policy, Clintonesque arrogance, and Jimmy Carter malaise.
Change is in the Scenery
Have you seen the Obama bumper sticker where the "O" in his name is a peace sign? Think of what Obama has said in his stump speeches. Although he is against the war in Iraq, he is for a war in Afghanistan. The spin that Obamanites (read the mainstream press) that Obama is "an agent of peace' has been greatly exaggerated. While I do not believe that he or John McCain are war mongers, what will happen to our troops by moving them out of Iraq and into Afghanistan? The Middle East always will be a hotbed of activity and many military officials agree that a stabilized Iraq can prove to be an American presence that protects Israel and the world against terrorist threats.
Learn from the Last Eight Years
The Obama camp is proposing to move troops in an area that made Russian troops sitting ducks, bankrupted their economy, and that harbored terrorist cells. With the Obama-Biden plan it stands to reason that a fallen Iraq, (which could happen in short order if Obama gets the keys to the White House,) a hostile Iran, and a convention of terrorists moving to Afghanistan to fight our newly moved troops will create a long, expensive, and tedious chore that would test 'our mettle," and would inspire international crisis of epic proportions. Instead of learning from the Bush administration and underestimating the Bush doctrine, Obama-Biden are bent at making things worse. If that is change, somebody -PLEASE-change the channel.
Where's Osama-Obama?
It's a fair question. Instead of learning from the Bush Doctrine the attitude of Obama-Biden is much like the disgruntled Clinton-Gore folk who left the White House in a shambles, stealing the China, vandalizing the computers, (remember the clever removal of the "W's?") and pardoning criminals who were associated with Clinton-Gore. So what if Obama-Biden get the keys? Will they replace the "W's" with "O's" and will Oprah sleep in the Lincoln bedroom? Will the Weatherman blow up the east wing of The President's House? Will the Chicago machine become the DC machine? Obama wants to play the game of "Where's Osama?" by searching the caves in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan while Six-pack, Uncle Joe, the plumber, Biden becomes the most dangerous VP since Dick Cheney. Biden who if elected will finish his unremarkable Senate career, by taking his stand-up routine to Pennsylvania Avenue. He may wax nostaligiac for the days when Delaware was the capital of Credit Cards, and the god of debt, and hopefully he will hold Obama accountable- quizzing him by telling "his boss," "It's not going well, Mr. President!" Eventually this dynamic duo will have to stop pointing the finger at the last 8 years and start looking at the next 4. What if? Mark my words.
