Our political commentary has gotten stale lately so I thought this title would get things rolling on the guy that would actually be running the country should we elect the socialists into office. Joe Biden completely fabricated his resume in the 70's to get elected. We're talking about jobs he never had, places he never lived, references that didn't exist. He's also been investigated and I believe proven guilty of plagarism. He is also a very strong supporter of the war in Iraq, advising Bush that there was no other option but to attack and remove Saddam from power. His plan to carve out 3 separate nations for each religious group would require many many more years of on the ground US troop support, cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and the Iraqi's are against it. How come we never hear about this in the media, yet Palin's pregnant daughter, the fact that she legally smoked marijuana many years ago, and that her husband was a former member of an Alaskan group in which some members discussed secession years ago are grabbing headlines? Ploitical forums are up in arms attacking the Republicans for a cover up of the investigation Palin is under. Yet the investigation is about that fact that she may or may not have been involved with the removal of a state trooper that beat his wife, used a tazer on an 11 year old, and threatened to murder his father in law. That's abuse of power? REALLY? It's odd I say, odd.
Here's an excerpt from Biden's Wikipedia, for what it's worth:
Biden stated in 2002 that Saddam Hussein was a threat to national security, and that there was no option but to eliminate that threat.[26] The Bush administration rejected an effort Biden undertook with Senator Richard Lugar to pass a resolution authorizing military action only after the exhaustion of diplomatic efforts. In October 2002, Biden voted in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq, justifying the Iraq War. He has long supported the appropriations to pay for the occupation, but has argued repeatedly that the war should be internationalized, that more soldiers are needed, and that the Bush administration should "level with the American people" about the cost and length of the conflict.[27]
Biden is a leading advocate for dividing Iraq into a loose federation of three ethnic states.[28] In November 2006, Biden and Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, released a comprehensive strategy to end sectarian violence in Iraq.[29] Rather than continuing the present approach or withdrawing, the plan calls for "a third way": federalizing Iraq and giving Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis "breathing room" in their own regions.[30] Iraq’s political leadership united in denouncing the resolution, and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad issued a statement distancing itself.[29] Senior military planners cautioned that a partition policy would require American military presence of 75,000 to 100,000 troops for years to come.[28]
Flame on!
