Biden - "Cheney wouldn’t know a working democracy if he fell over it."

Dec. 6: Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Joe Biden issued the following statement today, in response to news reports that Vice President Cheney “predicted Iraq will be a self-governing democracy by the time he leaves office,” and called “the current U.S. surge strategy ‘a remarkable success story’ that will be studied for years to come.”



“It’s no wonder the Vice President would say that,” Sen. Biden stated. “Between the hidden meetings with Halliburton on energy, the warrantless wiretapping of Americans, and the vague definitions of torture he uses, Vice President Cheney wouldn’t know a working democracy if he fell over it.

“The Vice President remains in a state of total denial. The stated purpose of the surge was to buy time for political progress in Iraq.


“Vice President Cheney has been consistently wrong about Iraq, from his claim it had reconstituted nuclear weapons before the war, to his assertion more than two years ago that the insurgency was in its last throes.”

"...consistently wrong about Iraq." For sure
With an AWOL delinquent pretending to be Commander in Chief, and Dick Cheney with his disgraceful FIVE military deferments pretending to be next in line, no wonder their phony war is a MASSIVE FAILURE.

Who would follow these two republicon chickenhawks anywhere?

1. That's our MoJo
This man does not beat around the Bush...he is a straight-talker. This is the kind of honesty that is so needed in the Oval Office.

7. Remember this guy--Mohaammed Saeed al-Sahaf-- Minister of Information?
I was trying to recall the minister who kept giving incredible propaganda bits during the 2002 American incursion into Iraq and did a google search to eventually find this site:

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/#quotes

Check out "The Treasury of Deathless Quotes"
Cheney's spin is sounding as credible as this former Iraqi Minister of Information's pronouncements.

17. Like Mexico being the "second wealthiest nation in the western hemisphere."
That a classic Bidenism.

How bout the one about abortion not being a right.

19. I feel comfortable with Joe Biden. While I like the other Dem
candidates, I think Biden is more open and can be trusted to NOT convolute his stance on issues.

20. Precisely.
and a whole lot more of the really important things we need. I was laughing at the categories people were asked about for a poll recently, and ideology, and charisma, placed higher than experience.

I think Joe has all of them to be honest. I don't see the other candidates as having ALL of them.
