Biden Calls McCain ‘Dangerously Wrong’
EmailABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Just two days before the first presidential debate is scheduled to focus on foreign policy issues – although that now appears to be up in the air – Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered a wide-ranging national security speech Wednesday in Cincinnati in which he cautioned that Sen. John McCain is "more than wrong – he is dangerously wrong."
In an address longer than his convention speech, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee accused McCain of acting with “bluster” and "very poor judgment" on international issues including Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, Spain, and Iraq.
“John McCain continues to insist, against all the evidence and all the facts, that Iraq is the central war on terrorism,” Biden said. “Ladies and gentlemen, he doesn’t understand that that central war on terrorism is in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan where al Qaeda resides, where bin Laden lives, where the people who actually attacked the United States of America are plotting more attacks. On this, John is more than wrong. He is dangerously wrong.”
“Time and again Barack Obama has demonstrated the judgment that we need in our next president,” Biden said, arguing that the Bush administration’s recent changes in its dealings with Iraq and Iran have proved Obama correct.
“Time and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain’s judgment has simply been wrong,” Biden warned, never more so than in the war on terror, where the Delaware lawmaker emphasized the focus should be on al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, not Iraq.
“The more we postpone the day when we fully join the fight against al Qaeda, the real threat — and finally defeat those who actually attacked America seven years ago, the longer that takes the worse off we are. Only John McCain says “no” now. John McCain is the only odd man out with Barack’s plan – the only one.”
Biden said that this week’s attacks in Yemen and Pakistan prove that the threat of al Qaeda exists outside of Iraq and that threat is growing and – were the US to be hit again, it would be because, “the Bush/McCain approach let down our guard and let our enemies off the hook”.
“So much for the Bush/McCain claim that we’re fighting them in Iraq so they won’t attacks us over here,” he said. “We should be fighting them where they reside.”
Biden’s round-the-world remarks ranged from Pakistan to Spain.
On Pakistan, Biden warned that “we will not tolerate an al Qaeda sanctuary…If we have actionable intelligence, if Pakistan will not or cannot act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden even if we have them – over the objections of the others – if we have them in our sights.”
On Iran, Biden said that “John McCain’s saber rattling is the most self-defeating policy I can imagine.”
Of course, he also stated that Bush’s decision to send Undersecretary of State William Burns to meet with Iranian representatives in Tehran this summer was further validation of Obama’s diplomatic approach, but in fact Burns gone to Geneva.
On Russia, “imagine, imagine if we had listened to John McCain when he tried to remove Russia from the G8…such a move would not have done anything to stop Russia from the inextricable and unfair and overwhelming invasion of an independent country of Georgia, but I tell you what it would have done: it would have triggered a crisis in our alliance since no one else in Europe thought that action should be taken, an alliance we now need, we now need to help us in dealing with Russian aggression.”
On Spain, Biden criticized McCain’s statement that he would not meet with the leader of Spain.
“A NATO ally who has Spanish forces in Afghanistan fighting side by side with the United States, John McCain said he will not meet with that leader. Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of judgment is that? What kind of bluster is that? Ladies and gentlemen John McCain’s notion in how to deal with our allies as well as our adversaries is rooted in something that I just simply do not understand.”
In conclusion, Biden argued that on the basis of the two candidates’ past foreign policy decisions, it is clear that Obama is more qualified to lead the country.
“By any objective standard, any objective standard – not looking to the future, looking to the past, what each of the candidates have said, to me it is absolutely, unequivocally clear that Barack Obama is more prepared to be commander in chief of the United States of America than John McCain.”

With Mc bush all he knows is war so whst else is he going to say and or do th e same with his partner both war hawks. I for one would like to see peace and so would all the military. As for terrorists in Iraq they weren’t there until we attack that country. Terror is based on hate as long as there is het you will have terror.

McCain, Trailing in Polls, Continues Campaign By “Suspending” It
John McCain, trailing by 9 points in national polls, has announced that he is “suspending” his campaign.
Having lost significant ground to Obama on the issue of the economy, and facing a potentially defining and withering debate on Friday where he would be confronted on his statements on the economy that have led to this sharp decline, McCain has attempted to change the rules of the game, to erase many past errors through a putatively “unpolitical” move–something we have seen before.
A simple question: Under the same economic conditions, if McCain had been leading, does anyone believe that McCain would have “suspended” his campaign?
This is the ultimate in cynicism–using the current conditions in order to attempt to blunt a sharp decline and try to control the media dialogue, through a political act designed to avoid a potential political debacle. He is continuing his campaign–which was leading to loss in all directions–by “suspending” it. It is an attempt to silence media criticism and questions–and to prevent a debate on these issues that for him is sharply unfavorable. As such, it is impulsivity masked as statesmanship, as well as an attempt to control the media dialogue, as we saw yesterday at the U.N.,– factors we have seen all along. He wants to attempt to force media to avoid covering openly his flailing campaign, the cynically political masked as the unpolitical, as we saw in the VP pick. Don’t be fooled.
McCain is attempting to avoid the debate in the face of this decline, through the type of evasion and lack of press access and communication that has characterized his campaign. It shows an extraordinary willingness to use difficult conditions to erase and avoid political errors, and serve political needs.
He surely would like to put off the debate, and attempt to create more favorable conditions for it.
This is just the time for a debate. We can work on solutions at the same time. Don’t be cowed.

Joe Biden has, on more than one occasion, lied about the “other driver” drinking. The fact is the accident that took his wife’s life was not the other driver’s fault, and the attorney general of delaware at the time stated there was absolutely no evidence that he had been drinking. Joe Biden is a liar in the worst way. He doesn’t care that he slanders an innocent man.

By the way since he is so good that he can handle many issues at once I wonder if he can chew gum and walk a straight line at the same time. If we would stop listening to the propaganda put out in newspapers, on TV and cable we probably would be better off if all three of these powerful gentlemen were back in Washington earning those salaries while the rest of us see our saving go down the drain.

Why can’t Sarah Falin stand in for McCaint?
Because Sarah HAS NOT intelligence and national and international experience.

I’m not a big fan of Biden’s. But he can eloquently and clearly call out McCain on the issues.
Both McCain and Obama say they would go into Pakistan to get high level terrorists. So with either candidate we get warmongers. Actually they differ little on such issues as Iran, Afghanistan and how long we will be in Iraq.

SEN. Joe Biden’s expertise on foreign policy:
In 1979, he shared Carter’s starry-eyed belief that the fall of the shah in Iran and the advent of the ayatollahs represented progress for human rights. Throughout the hostage crisis, as US diplomats were daily paraded blindfolded in front of television cameras and threatened with execution, he opposed strong action against the terrorist mullahs and preached dialogue.
* Throughout the 1980s. Biden opposed President Ronald Reagan’s proactive policy against the Soviet Union. Biden was all for détente – which, in practice, meant Western subsidies that would have enabled the moribund USSR to cling to life and continue doing mischief.
* In 1990, Biden found it difficult to support President George Bush’s decision to use force to kick Saddam Hussein’s army of occupation out of Kuwait.
* A decade-plus later, the senator did vote for the liberation of Iraq from Saddamite tyranny. But as soon as terrorists started challenging the new democratic system in Iraq, he switched sides and became a critic of the whole war effort. He claimed that the Iraq war was lost and suggested that the US partition the newly liberated country into three or more mini-states.
He was right about one thing though…
When asked about Obama Biden opined “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.” So I guess SEN Biden isn’t wrong ALL of the time…

$222,689,884,457 is the cost of the military-industrial complex. Democrat President Johnson expanded the Vietnam conflict and the military-industrial complex grew.
Republican President Eisenhower’s farewell speech warned the American public about the military-industrial complex. Democrat President Kennedy wanted to withdraw all the troops from Vietnam. There is always a question about the timing of President Kennedy’s assassination. President Johnson assumed the Presidency.
Obama in a recent speech stated he would send troops to Pakistan. Can this be just another Democrat that talks like President Johnson? President Johnson said he will bring the troops home from Vietnam and later decided to expand the Vietnam War killing Americans and Vietnamese. Obama stated I would return the troops from Iraq. Later he states he would send troops to Pakistan.
Does Joe Biden have inside information where al Qaeda resides? Joe Biden stated that al Qaeda resides in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. If Joe Biden has information about al Qaeda, why is he keeping it a secret?
I do not trust Obama’s double talk. I voted for President Johnson and that was the last time I voted Democrat. President Johnson was unpopular because of his doubled standards and lies about Vietnam. Joe Biden finds it difficult to keep up with the changing rhetoric of Obama. It is no Middle East Pakistan…. It is NO Obama.

The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who cannot afford to live anywhere else. However, it is not safe to live here. It is an Obama failure of the worse kind. This is an Obama program.
Obama said he can do more than one thing at a time. Obama cannot properly represent voters in his Illinois district. Here is a sample of the representation Obama will give all American voters. This is what happen to Obama projects.

Kitty – try researching what you say -
he said: In a striking moment in December 2007, he opened his heart to University of Iowa students. “Let me tell you a little story. My wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree, a tractor trailer, a guy who allegedly, and I never pursued it, drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family, killed my wife instantly, killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons.”
He has a right to feel and think the way he wants, he says allegedly. You may not like it but it is how he feels about the situation and doesn’t take away from the fact he lost his wife and daughter – GET A HEART. I too have lost loved ones in an accident and its an extremely emotional time and even years later the hurt, anger, etc. can get to you – Don’t judge this man. P.S. has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS STORY

News organization need regulation if they cannot report the news in a proper manner. The ABC poll results mislead voters as to who is leading in electoral votes. The polls are nothing more than statistics and statistics can be distorted to fit the needs of unscrupulous people. This kind of reporting is unfair to a candidate because it sways public opinion. Everybody wants to win and reporting which candidate is leading the presidential race is an advertisement and an endorsement for a candidate.
The founders of the United States enacted the First Amendment to distinguish their new government from that of England, which had long censored the press and prosecuted persons who dared to criticize the British Crown. As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart explained in a 1974 speech, the “primary purpose” of the First Amendment was “to create a fourth institution outside the government as an additional check on the three official branches” (the executive branch, the legislature and the judiciary).
Justice Stewart cited several landmark cases in which the Supreme Court — the final arbiter of the meaning of the First Amendment — has upheld the right of the press to perform its function as a check on official power. One of these cases — the 1971 Pentagon Papers case — lies especially close to my heart.
Freedom of the press is not a license to give false impressions through twisted
statistical information. The press is restricted from giving an election projection as to who could win an election. Polling is nothing more than a projection of who could win an election. It is time to stop the polls from projecting a winner of an election. The public has sufficient information without the use of polls that provide unfair twisted statistical information.
Why do I say twisted statistical information? It is proven that people could say one thing and mean something totally different. There is no way to know with certainty that the person being polled is even telling the pollster the truth. It is a know fact that statistic can be misaligned to fit the needs of unscrupulous people. STOP the polls and return honesty back to election day.

John McCain asked Obama to debate many weeks ago, but Obama refused. It was a time prior to the surfacing of the crisis America and the World face today. Where is Obama? Looking after is own interest and not giving a though that America and the world needs help from leadership. Obama proves every day that he not a world leader and that he places his own interest above the needs of the people. Seeing how Obama handles housing in his senatorial district, he proves he is not capable of handing many important tasks at any one given time.

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Just two days before the first presidential debate is scheduled to focus on foreign policy issues – although that now appears to be up in the air – Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered a wide-ranging national security speech Wednesday in Cincinnati in which he cautioned that Sen. John McCain is “more than wrong – he is dangerously wrong.”
This from the man who said that
Franklin Roosevelt was President during
the Great Depression and that he spoke to the nation on television!
Of course any 5th grader would know that
Herbert Hoover was President during the
Great Depression and there was no
Television at that time!
Biden was also against the successful
troop surge in Iraq and instead proposed that Iraq be divided into
3 parts(Sunni, Shia, and Kurd), Duh!
Biden’s claim that Obama was right in
opposing the Iraq War is misleading to
say the least!
It wasn’t Obama’s call! He was in the
Illinois State Senate.
Therefore his opposition was similiar to
any citizen who did not agree with the
decision to go to war in Iraq!
Did Obama tell the news media of his
opposition at that time?
Senators Biden, Clinton, and McCain
after viewing the intelligence voted
to stand united behind our president
and support the decision to go to war
against Saddam Hussein!
Had Obama been a U.S. Senator at the
time of the resolution would he have
voted against it? I think not!
Regarding the Headline I think that
Joe Biden is “dangerous”, period!
He is an embarrassment to Obama!

We saw why, in The Saddleback Forum-McCain, speaking his convictions-Barry Hussein unscripted-That little MSM debate down in MS, isn’t a threat-Barry Hussein knows the MSM will cover for him, like Stepphie did on This Week. He’s a closet racist, who hates America-Defeat Hussein Obama NOW! We don’t need the Chicago Machine in Washington, it’s corrupt enough already. Release the Annenburg Files-Hussein’s only executive experience-Expose the filthy, crime ridden housing projects he created. Chicago is a city of scum and murder-that’s what Hussein wants for America. He is a socialist monster, and the criminals and thugs he owes will make it worse-No Chicago in Washington. No corrupt unions running things like the 60′s- NOBAMA

I am afraid what he’d say to world leaders. He just may ask someone in a wheel chair to stand up and take a bow. If he is voted in and is “one heart beat away” from the Presidency.. God help us all!

We read Brooks Jackson (a journalist) and we are suspicious of the bias that is in favor of Obama. We have disqualified Brooks Jackson’s information as too bias and not showing everything about Obama. It is evident Brooks Jackson does not want to look too deep and is more interested in sensationalism and selling his books. We too can be arrogant!

Rose Szymanski:
$222,689,884,457 is the cost of the military-industrial complex. Democrat President Johnson expanded the Vietnam conflict and the military-industrial complex grew.
Republican President Eisenhower’s farewell speech warned the American public about the military-industrial complex. Democrat President Kennedy wanted to withdraw all the troops from Vietnam. There is always a question about the timing of President Kennedy’s assassination. President Johnson assumed the Presidency.
Obama in a recent speech stated he would send troops to Pakistan. Can this be just another Democrat that talks like President Johnson? President Johnson said he will bring the troops home from Vietnam and later decided to expand the Vietnam War killing Americans and Vietnamese. Obama stated I would return the troops from Iraq. Later he states he would send troops to Pakistan.
Does Joe Biden have inside information where al Qaeda resides? Joe Biden stated that al Qaeda resides in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. If Joe Biden has information about al Qaeda, why is he keeping it a secret?
I do not trust Obama’s double talk. I voted for President Johnson and that was the last time I voted Democrat. President Johnson was unpopular because of his doubled standards and lies about Vietnam. Joe Biden finds it difficult to keep up with the changing rhetoric of Obama. It is no Middle East Pakistan…. It is NO Obama.

– Does Joe Biden have inside information where al Qaeda resides? Joe Biden stated that al Qaeda resides in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. If Joe Biden has information about al Qaeda, why is he keeping it a secret? –
Nice pick and choose of what he said.. the quote in full was not just about Al-Qaeda, but:
“he doesn’t understand that that central war on terrorism is in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan where al Qaeda resides, where bin Laden lives, where the people who actually attacked the United States of America are plotting more attacks.”
And you are aware that Joe is, among other things, on the Senate subcommittee for Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security? Bin Laden, by the way, what started this whole thing and was supposed to be the target until Bush took us on our debacle in Iraq.

Best speech of the campaign season so far. Filled with substance, judgment, and a refusal to back down from hysterical republican nonsense. Biden is the best choice for VP that anyone could have made. And some of you folks are just nuts with your conspiracies.

The real danger is that Obama is not a US Citizen. Obama runs and hides from the truth.
Latest on the Berg Lawsuit yesterday Obama was to appear in court. This is posted on the official Berg website.

For Immediate Release: – 09/24/08
OBAMA & DNC HIDE BEHIND LEGAL ISSUES WHILE BETRAYING PUBLIC IN NOT PRODUCING A CERTIFIED COPY OF OBAMA’S “VAULT” BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Country is Headed to a Constitutional Crisis
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 09/24/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss on the last day to file a response, for the obvious purpose of delaying Court action in the case of Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by delaying the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama was “natural born.”
It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

Check this buffoon out on Wikipedia.
“He is only the sixth federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in American history.”

I’m feeling more afraid of Mccain as POTUS then any possible terrorist. His response to meeting with Spain, a Nato ally… was just as frightening as joking about bombing Iran. I don’t understand how other people are not scared to death about this guy’s possibility of being our next president.

This hard hitting analysis from the man who just this week declared that leaders take decisive action to show people the way…just as FDR did when the stock markets crashed and he went on TV to reassure the American people (he said that in his train interview with Katiie..this is not a joke). If Sarah Palin had said that to Katie Couric the Democrats would have howled to rooftops, along with SNL. Joe Biden is not a well informed man, in the same mode as Senator Harry Reid who admitted last Friday the “…no one kinows what to do…” These boys are running the country?

Go Joe! Don’t forget that Joe Biden was in a helicopter that was brought down by terrorists while flying over that “terrorist sanctuary” so he knows a thing or two about the region.
OH WAIT, it was the weather that forced his helicopter to turn around and land. A democrat caught in a lie? no way! that never happens…

Krista, your comment about McCain being a coward for “bailing out” of the debate really shows your ignorance. McCain has spent months trying to get Obama to participate in town hall style debates across the country…all of which were refused by Obama. So now suddenly Obama wants to debate during a crisis and his supporters think McCain is a coward for refusing? That’s absurd. Of course Obama wants to debate while the nation is distracted on the crisis because maybe then nobody would pay attention to his terrible “ideas” and stu-stu-stu-stuttering without a teleprompter

So now “Stand up Chuck” knows where Bin Ladin is. I didn’t know it was that easy.
