History has proven Biden wrong on EVERY SINGLE DECISION he's ever made!
Biden has the experience of more than three decades in the US senate, at least two of them dealing with foreign affairs and defense. But experience is no guarantee of good judgment. And Biden has been wrong on almost every key issue.
* 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.
Biden's misreading of the situation in Iraq shows that experience is no substitute for judgment. He judged the situation on the basis of headlines and CNN footage - not the long-term, geo-strategic interests of the United States. In short, he lacked what President Harry Truman called "strategic patience."
* For more than a decade, Biden has adopted an ambivalent attitude towards the Islamic Republic in Tehran, now emerging as the chief challenger to US interests in the Middle East. Biden's links with pro-Tehran lobbies in the US and his support for "unconditional dialogue" with the mullahs echo Obama's own wrong-headed promise to circumvent the current multilateral efforts by seeking direct US-Iran talks, excluding the Europeans as well as Russia and China.
Had Biden had his way, "the Evil Empire" would still be around and Saddam Hussein still in power. The US would still be begging the mullahs of Tehran for forgiveness of unspecified "past sins" - and more American hostages would be seized in the Middle East while the mullahs celebrate their first atomic bombs.
By choosing Biden, Obama, the candidate of hope, has transformed his promise of change, into a back-to-the-future pirouette - back to Jimmy Carter.

this is not common to form those style of human beings right into a top and left spectrum, this is not that straightforward. i could've accomplished it extra like this: GLOBALISTS / COLLECTIVISTS: Obama Biden Edwards Clinton Kerry Gore right this moment NEOCONS: Schwarzenegger Giuliani Bush & co. McCain falls someplace between the 1st and 2d categories (there's a brilliant form of overlap between the two)... pretend CONS: Thompson Huckabee Romney Palin? CLASSICAL CONS a.ok.a. LIBERTARIANS: Ron Paul Chuck Stanley Baldwin present day LIBERALS Ralph Nader Cynthia McKinney Ron Paul is my selection, out of the lot.

I thought the parody the Three Stooges did on Hitler was rather bright, so I think Kerry and Biden rand below them. At least the Stooges didn't lie and defame our war efforts like Kerry did. No, the Stooges would do a much better job.

John Kerry? Please, the same guy who went before the congress saying American Soldiers in Vietnam cut off arms and limbs and terrorize people like mad man. The guy is an axxhole.
I feel really bad for the troops in Afghanistan right now. God bless them. Let's really hope that community organizer know what his doing.

At least the stooges were just an act. The treason and cowardice of Kerry and Biden weren't acts..

As I have said on other occasions at my VFW when we have to take a dump we refer to it as having to take a Kerry. One guy laminated his picture and put it at the bottom of the toilet for us. No vet who ever served in Nam thinks Kerry is worth spit. He sold his brothers out for political gain with lies.

Insult the vets, insult all you want, but don't put your beliefs to the test. Why aren't you fighting you cowardly little liar, along with all the other arm-chair war-monger patriots?
