If you're 18 or older (aka 'of voting age')... any thoughts?
Assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “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.” Speaking to the New York Observer:
Biden was equally skeptical — albeit in a slightly more backhanded way
— about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream
African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a
nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” Biden on Meet the Press in 2002: “Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power.” Biden on Meet the Press in 2007, on Hussein’s WMDs: “Well, the point is, it turned out they didn’t, but everyone in the world thought he had them. The weapons inspectors said he had them. He catalogued — they catalogued them. This was not some, some Cheney, you know, pipe dream. This was, in fact, catalogued.”
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.” Biden on Meet the Press,
April 29, 2007: “The threat [Saddam Hussein] presented was that, if
Saddam was left unfettered, which I said during that period, for the
next five years with sanctions lifted and billions of dollars into his
coffers, then I believed he had the ability to acquire a tactical
nuclear weapon — not by building it, by purchasing it. I also believed
he was a threat in that he was — every single solitary U.N. resolution
which he agreed to abide by, which was the equivalent of a peace
agreement at the United Nations, after he got out of — after we kicked
him out of Kuwait, he was violating. Now, the rules of the road either
mean something or they don’t. The international community says “We’re
going to enforce the sanctions we placed” or not. And what was the
international community doing? The international community was
weakening. They were pulling away.”
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.”LAWL
