I just turned on the news - is anybody else watching?
US confrontation with Iran?

omg - we need Biden more NOW than ever.

I have CNN on and they were talking about the debate and how this issue of nukes were brought up and
HOW NONE OF THE CANDIDATES ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES ON FOREIGN POLICY - and that the Republicans seem to have a better understanding of foreign affairs. :banghead:



Yeah - and immediately after talking about the US v Iran - the conversation went right into "Will Obama take all?"

I sincerely hope that Biden is a drinker - because 'man' he's going to need a few as he watches all of this unfold from the sidelines.

1. The more I watch...
what's going on, the more convinced I am we will have another repuke in the house come november. Dems lost their best shot. The only ones who had a chance of beating the rw machine were Dodd and Biden. I like some of the other candidates, but I just don't see them winning the GE.

13. i agree that the risk went waaaaay up
the irony is the pugs have no more foreign affairs qualifications than my scottish terrier, either.
but with nobody qualified on either side, the pugs win on (phony) reputation

2. I'm not watching the news...
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 01:00 PM by 1corona4u
but from what I read, something doesn't seem right....I think this has more to do with Bush going to the middle east next week...I think I smell bullshit. Don't ask me why....more fear mongering? Justification to attack Iran??

5. I only believe 1/2 of what I hear with this administration in control.
And it has always been Biden to set the record straight. He sees through the bullshit. So did Dodd.

The only candidate that falls for their shit is Hillary....the one with experience.

10. I think this is a fucking ploy to get NH to go for McCain, the Bush-asskisser
Seriously. Think about it.

3. I just turned it on but missed it
Biden said he's never had a drink in his life! I can't even imagine that.

"Republicans seem to have a better understanding of foreign affairs"???? Have these people been living in a cave?

6. I saw that on cnn.com this morning. Of course, my first thought was "what
does Joe say about this because he'll tell us the FACTS".

Yep, now more than ever.

And I agree about the concern of a Rep getting the WH -- Fear is their favorite tactic. So now since we learned Iran doesn't REALLY have a viable nuke program, their ships are 'menacing' or whatever word they're using.

7. "Provoking" and "Harrassing"
Or so they say :eyes:

So war with Iran coming again, and we have no Joe...

Could 2008 have started off any worse? :cry:

BIDEN, THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!
