Biden Again Mistakes Brigades for Battalions

Joe Biden is incompetent. dumb and dumber.

Oh NO! Biden is as dumb as McCain!!! We are in DEEP folks… DEEP!

and Biden has the nerve to say Bush surrendered to iraq. this guy is a wacko.

uhm
considering Palin has yet to speak…outside a speech written by someone else…
this isn’t worth it’s weight in digital pulse.

Obama will provide for us! We are all lost, anxious, in crisis. Quit your job! If you’re at the bottom, using student loans to take trips and drawing food stamps, you’re on the way to being the next O! Congrats!

P.S.
I’m glad Democrats cannot spell or we’d be in REAL trouble!

are you really reporting this? I want to know about his foreign policy experience, not a military experience he never had.
I know the difference between a company, batallion, or brigade because I was a solder. But I don’t have a lick of foreign policy diplomacy or experience. Joe Biden can feel those shoes.

His 5 deferments are catching up with him

greg
can you spell ethics…neither can Palin and her band of lawyers that just suppressed the testimony of the leading witness into her ethics investigation…
welcome to Bush III…cover those tracks.

thanks military mark
hopefully this reporter is taking note…
and getting the story right.

What about Cindy MCsame who think Sarah has foreign policy experience just because Alaska is close to Russia. Come up with something better. We have more to tell about McSame foreign policy knowlwedge

Do you think we are that stupid how you have nothing to report at this time? Tell me about Sarah who fired her deputy chief because he didn’t want to fired her brother in law.

JO
if we want to really look at mixed up words
i dont think mccain would pass at all
so… this is another loser for you guys, keep dodging palin questions, keep trying to change hte subject
so sad

Republicans have touting Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s service as “commander in chief” of the state’s National Guard as proof of her foreign policy chops. Democrats and other observers countered that while a governor can command the Guard in local emergencies, he or she has no say at all when it comes to foreign deployments.
As it turns out — according to both conservatives and liberals — U.S. governors were stripped of crucial discretion over their National Guard units at home for a good part of Palin’s first term.
A clause from National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 amended the Insurrection Act, handing President George W. Bush expanded power to declare martial law and take over Guard troops without a governor’s assent. Passed by the Congress and signed by the president more than a month before Palin took office in December 2006, critics on both sides of the aisle deemed it a federal power grab.
“Governors’ control of the National Guard can be trumped with a simple presidential declaration,” the American Conservative wrote.

Meg Whitman, McCain’s national campaign co-chair and former CEO of e-Bay, veered off message today in an interview with Fox News, describing the media vetting of Palin as “completely fair” and saying that there hasn’t really been any sexism to speak of in the coverage.

The stupidity of gotcha politics knows no bounds. If I was the party of George W. Bush, I think I’d be lying low on the whole gaffe thing. Then again, a debate on the issues might be a disaster for the GOP.

Reagan,
Do you really wanna talk about judgment? We have a lot to say about McSame.
Voting for the war in Iraq
Taking Russia out off the G8
Punish Russia
Dont talk with Iran
Those sound like bad judgment to me reagan

Yes, what we need is a leader that knows the difference between Shia and Sunni!!
(Oh wait, that would be Lieberman…)

Governor Palin runs the largest state in the union. Obama runs the largest mouth from South Chicago. Is there even a rational comparison?

Best article I’ve seen so far why Obama will lose….written by a liberal who was at the Obama convention speech.

Read it and weep Obamabots.

reaganfan
your right it has been an unqualified something….
success isnt the word id use since its a success in a war that we should have never been fighting, a war that we have dumped thousands of american lives, and hundereds of thousands of iraqies lives, as well as trillions of dollars

This is hilarious. What a non issue. Is this the best the Republicans can come up with? Laughably pathetic.

JO
please list that link
where obama says his running for president makes him qualified to be president
i hope mccains judgment isnt damaged too badly by this horrible vp pick

what I don’t understand is why the GOP is always comparing Paling to OBAMA when asked a question about her.
Barack Obama was chosen by over 18 million people
Sarah Palin was chosen by ONE.
BARACK OBAMA is running for PRESIDENT
SARAH PALIN is running for VICE PRESIDENT
WHERE IS THE COMPARISON.

I got a novel idea
HOW ABOUT COMPARING PALIN TO BIDEN
whoa I just got idea
HOW ABOUT COMPARING MCCAIN TO OBAMA.
this is scary. i just got another idea
HOW ABOUT STAYING ON THE ISSUES INSTEAD OF PERSONAL MATTERS.

Jonathan
all depends on what kind of campus you are on.
are there any straight jackets involved????
jk

jk – just kidding

Wow… Biden gets a couple B-words mixed up, and that makes him incompetent?
McCain tells us that Iran is training AQ, mentions countries that haven’t existed in decades in the present tense, can’t remember how many houses he owns or the car he drives, can’t EVEN remember which countries border with which, and you call Biden incompetent?
If that’s true, McCain is a chimp. (Sorry, chimps)

Jonathan,
If i were you i would stop going to school. you wasting time and money.

dont take my word for it take the most influential name in GOP politics
KARL ROVE
Rove singled out Virginia governor Tim Kaine, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick.
“With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished,” Rove said. “I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America.”
Rove continued: “So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States.”
Yes, the real problem with Tim Kaine is that he’s only been governor of a large state for three years, and before that, he was only the mayor of a mid-size city. This, of course, made him “undistinguished,” unprepared for national office, and the very idea of putting him on a national ticket was practically ridiculous.
Thanks, Karl.

Barack Obama draw bigger crowds than the population of wasilla

uhhhh geekville
At least he wont send them to the iraqi/pakistan border

geeville ….. do you value the words of KARL ROVE

At least Biden doesnt think Iraq and Afghanistan share a border like mccain thinks they do

BIDEN THE GAFFE GIVER THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! Gotta love it…..Obama’s CHANGE candidate, yeah….however he is more qualified than #1 on his ticket, WHICH IS WHAT AMERICANS ALWAYS VOTE FOR.
JOHN SYDNEY McCAIN, NEVER BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

Omentum… that bit from our buddy Rove was just toooooooo funny…

“Brigade” and “battalion” are ambiguous terms. Neither equates to a number of troops. A brigade is made up of 2 or more batalions and a brigade is made up of three or more sub-units, depending on what type or forces.
Saying 2 battalions or saying 2 brigades has not said how many troops. Neither statement is meaningful other than more.
How many pecks in a bushel?

Robsolf
The republicans are spinning themselves silly right now
every swipe they used on obama is now being used on their vp and they cant take the heat.
quite amusing

Omentum…wrong….all the liberal/radical ties of Obama are not Gov. Palins, and his sh– for judgement isn’t either.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

The Republicans are grasping for straws to take the focus off their inability to use sound judgment on Palin. They haven’t even had to defend her lawsuit against the US Government for protecting the polar bears. She of course, is using to fight this argument, data provided her by none other than….can you guess…..OIL COMPANIES! She believes they are not endangered, even though the state of Alaska and the federal governments independent findings conclude they are. It gets in the way of her “standing up to big oil”….laughable. Did I mention her speech at her church yet to those young graduates? Of how about the radio show she appeared on where she is heard laughing when a state representitive who is a recovering cancer patient but a woman who opposes Ms Palin, is called a “cancer and a bitch”. Not once does she laugh, but twice. And then a third time when a deragatory remark is made about the womans weight. Never once, trying to push herself away from this juvenile behaivor. I am sure this will go over well with the Hillary voters she thinks she’s going to pull over. Women that I know just love the term “bitch”. Sarah, the only thing those 18 million voters liked about Hillary Clinton was her reproductive organs?
Yea, if this was my VP choice, I’d be picking on Biden for his haircut soon!

wa-silly… on the border of Pakistan and Persia…

GreggW; You really should do a little research before making such statements. While the terms battalion and brigade do not refer to specific numbers, they do refer to different organizational levels of Army units. A brigade is typically a much larger force than a battalion.
BTW, bushels and pecks are units of volume of dry goods. There are four pecks to a bushel. There is nothing ambiguous about them :-).

A VP was picked without being Vetted. Picked without a complete background check. Picked only to cover up a glaring weakness, to shore up the base, and totally inexperienced.
Palin?
No, Hairplug Joe.
Warm up HITLERY, Joe is about to get Vince Fostered.
Palin/McCain 08

–dl–Alaska’s being the largest state in the union in itself make it harder to govern.
I lived there for 25 years and worked with political and business leaders. 95% of south 48 people are ignorant about Alaska, its people and problems.
Palin finally got the gas line from Prudhoe ok’ed to be built. This was prohibited 25 to 30 years by the Democrats.

Sarah has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent* Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the “old school” and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!
Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) – the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

This is not important news. Why waste print?

This is a presidential election, not a pro wrestling match. This isn’t commentary, it’s hate mongering and name calling. Hiding behind your anonymity, you immediately abandon any trace of civility and humanity and jump at the opportunity to heap the worse sort of disgusting venom upon each other. You leave this kind of childish and irresponsible crap all over the Internet and it’s appalling. All of you should be

Change calling people names is Immature.

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden also
voted for the war in Iraq!
Removing Russia from the G-8 is good
judgement! Not punishing the Russians
invading Georgia is bad judgement!
Talking to Iran when they continue to
build their nuclear reactor shows
bad judgement as they will use the
talks to avoid sanctions!
Talk without progress is useless!
