Biden: "Constitutional Crisis If President Goes Into Iran"

1. oooops, we posted at the same time. ^_^
Biden said, "Explicitly denies you going into Iran. Let me say that again..."

Good words, Joe.

Unfortunately, you seem to not know that it's already a done deal.

:cry:


I'll request that my thread be erased.

Thanks for posting this! :hi:

5. This is what I've been saying for years. Some who negotiated IWR forced Iran and Syria OFF the
table in exchange for their support. That was a thankless task for those Democrats.

2. We've been in a constitutional crisis for years.
But thanks Biden by saying you won't go along with the attacks on Iran.

9. It's like the little kid who, after the bully steps across the line drawn in the sand...
simply goes to draw another line in the sand and proceeds to say "OK, now I dare you to cross this line!"

3. he needs to be more explicit
Invading is verboten, according to Biden.

What about bombing?

Aerial assault?

Be clear, Joe. "into Iran" is too vague a term.

13. He used the term "explicitly", does that count?
:hi:

I agree with you...the Dems need to get very clear, and very loud, very soonly!

Let the country know what is up.

4. That's why I don't think he'll do it.
Everybody getting worried about Iran is a good distraction.

7. Yes, THEY Know What The Idiot Intends... But I Like the Fact That
Biden made the comments he did! Condi looked like she was getting a real scolding! Man, her EYES ARE EVIL!!!

We need more specificity, but at least the words crossed over from the Senate to the WH!

10. What will Congress do AFTER he's already attacked Iran?
Will they finally impeach his ass or just throw their hands up and say, "Oh well, too late to stop him now.":( What can they do after the fact? We all know the psycho doesn't give a shit what Congress says or what the American people say. He WILL do whatever the hell he wants. Then what?

11. You nailed it
Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 01:46 PM by truedelphi
Congress can't impech now because, "Has he really done enough to merit it?"

And won't be able to impeach after Iran because we could well be sitting in the middle of WWIII.

Oh and we don't really have the money to do Iran.

But China holds the USA's purse in the form of massive Chinese underwriting of US debt. (Plus they manufacture everything as well)

12. Pretty easy for Cheney to avoid a Constitutional Crisis & still go into Iran.
It's called a New Gulf of Tonkin Incident. That's what they're either hoping for or planning for.

16. Crisis? What Crisis? Impeachment is not a crisis. It's the weapon we gave them
