RSSA Lot Of Joe Biden’s Statements Make Sense
Carl Andrews | June 24, 2009
Not anything he has said recently of course.
Since becoming Vice-President, anyone who is standing near Joe Biden when he speaks may detect the scent of shoe leather on his breath.
That is because he is constantly sticking his foot in his mouth.
However, it wasn’t always this way.
Take a look at some of the quotes from Joe that made sense:
“The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”
“John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off,…”
“I’ve been calling for more troops for over two years, along with John McCain and others subsequent to my saying that.”
“My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects.
“I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”
Discussing Saddam Hussein:
“He’s a long term threat and a short term threat to our national security… “We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world.”
“Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power.”
Biden to the Brookings Institution in 2005:
“We can call it quits and withdraw from Iraq. I think that would be a gigantic mistake.
Or we can set a deadline for pulling out, which I fear will only encourage our enemies to wait us out — equally a mistake.”
Biden, on Obama’s Iraq plan in August 2007:
“I don’t want [my son] going [to Iraq],” Delaware Sen. Joe Biden said from the campaign trail Wednesday, according to a report on Radio Iowa.
“But I tell you what, I don’t want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years and so how we leave makes a big difference.”
Biden criticized Democratic rivals such as Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama who have voted against Iraq funding bills to try to pressure President Bush to end the war.
“There’s no political point worth my son’s life,” Biden said, according to Radio Iowa. “There’s no political point worth anybody’s life out there. None.”
When asked if Barack Obama is qualified to be President:
“I think he can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
Hey Joe, you were right on the money with that last one.
It’s a damn shame more people didn’t listen.
