I think what you need to take a look at here is the timing of Senator Biden's comments and the Iran NIE. The day before it was released to the public Joe made his statement concerning impeachment. I'm sure the NIE was available to him prior to this statement and I believe that what he was really going after is to make Bush tow the line on the truth. Impeachment isn't realistically possible in the remaining amount of time Bush has in office.

Biden is the only candidate on either side who has a clue on how to get out of this war and the experience to get it done. I hope to see a great debate thou, with Biden and Mccain, to polor opposites on which direction to take this country on this War, but at least they both have the experience and the knowledge of foreign affairs that no other candidates can say with a straight face.

Man, for a bunch of fine, upstanding, patriotic, non prejudiced people, you sure use some coloful language to describe us Southern folk. Lets see, I have seen buck toothed, backward, redneck, uneducated, and simple minded just to name a few. Is that not bigotry and prejudice at it's finest? You yankees and bleeding hearts should learn to practice what you preach.
Deo Vindice

Very well stated, Bill, in Kuwait by way of N.C. I couldn't agree with you more. It's very unpopular to support Bush these days, but count myself as one. Has he made mistakes? Yes, who hasn't. Is he articulate in explaining his policies? Absolutely not, he's terrible at it. Does he have conviction? Absolutely. Has he taken verbal abuse with dignity without resorting to childish name-calling in return? Ohhh yes! Let history judge this man…it will likely be more favorable than most expect today. BTW, it's funny how the NIE was wrong on Iraq, but everyone embraces this one, because they see an opportunity to bash Bush. If the NIE is indeed true, Bush's Middle East policy appears to have made Iran drop their nuclear weapons program. No neither Iraq, nor Iran, are in an arms race. Sounds like success to me!!!

Gina from italy,

don't blame the people. We made the mistake of letting our media centralize and candidates like Biden Richardson and Dodd the three most experienced and knowledgable candidates on the democratic side don't rate media coverage.

The easy way to demonstrate this is go to CNN's searchable video index and Search "hillary Clinton" see how many pages of responses you get. DO the same for other candidates but use full names to make sure you don't get similar last names. Last I did it oct 31 the percentage distribution of video coverage was in the margin of polling error.

Only those that dig for information on low ranked candidates can find any real details about them.

Pray Iowa or New Hamphsire wakes up and pushes Richardson or Biden into a spot where the media can no longer ignore them with a straight face and maintain a mantle of objectivity.

Biden is earning coverage now criticizing Bush, Hillary won't do it, Obama doesn't have the crtedibility to do it and neither does edwards(they aren't foreign policy wonks) so the cable shows interview biden and richardson. Remember our media didn't fact check us out of war in 2002 when it was open news in the german press that Zarqawi our supposed al quaida link to saddam was actually an anti jordanian terrorist. Rumsy was even on the congressional record admitting he might not be al quaida.

Blame our media they decided this race was between a woman and a black man on the dem side. Just as fox covers giuliani ad nauseum at other rep candidates expense.

Exposure = perception of a winner = I want to vote for a winner. Sad but true.

Iowa or NH come through for us and force real coverage of a legitimately knowledgable thoughtful and experienced candidate come January.

Every candidate is ready to make decisions on day one the question is who is ready to make the right decisions. Evidence suggests it's not the media darling.

Biden, go take your meds. If you can't see the duplicity of this report you are out of touch.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be wary of leaders like Ahmadinijad. We had to be very careful when Kruschev was in power too. Kennedy was a master at figuring out how to maintain safety for the USA during the height of the Cold War-by the way, Kennedy had no experience when he was elected. The leaders in the CIA during Kennedy's presidency tried to stage a false flag war with Cuba without Kennedy knowing about it; look up operation Northwood sometime. Kennedy had them all fired. Kennedy knew that a preemptive attack on Cuba could be the catalyst to greater difficulties with the Soviet Union; quite possibly causing a world war. Terrorism is real, but like the Cold War it needs to be thought through with much common sense. Cowboy mentality could be the death of us all. That's why many believe that the biggest threat to our well being is Bush himself. You cannot be so overtly, verbally aggressive without much fear and concern from the other country. Bush is VERY hostile towards Iran. Iran sees him as no different than we view terrorists. Putin has nuclear capabilities and would not hesitate to use them against us if we interfere with Iran. We need to learn to think, and learn to work through these tense situations, and not be so reactive verbally to what we think is going on. Our difficulties in the middle East come from MANY years of us interfering with their leaders-to the point of funding Bin Ladin ourselves. Take a few steps back and do some research and you will understand why we pose just as great of a risk towards world peace as Iran does. Also, with the accusations made regarding Iraq that were so obviously manipulative, I don't believe anything Bush tells us anymore. Take some time to read his PNAC agenda and you will see that Iraq and Iran were a target far before 911 ever happened. Our country deserves people knowing the truth. Now all you need to do is take the time to know the truth.

Brad, from the great state of Texas,
As my old boss used to say, "You're a gentleman and a scholar." Thanks for having a guy's back.

For those of you who missed the point, Candidate Joe "Quixote" Biden is jousting with a windmill (a lame duck president), instead of sparring with his fellow candidates. Tell me how that works out for you, Joe…

There are two groups of folks in the US, the one group has been taught to revere their leaders no matter what they do and what happens. The other group was brought up on fairy tales like "The Emperor's new Clothes", my mom played one of the tailors. The point is for democracy to work thoughtful scrutiny and full facts in the hands of the public at large is the most necessary constituent; there is zero place for hero worship that is unable to critically evaluate the leaders. Joe Biden is certainly the only real statesman in the field of presidential hopefuls currently, it is just a matter of if we can pull our heads out of wishful thinking or if reality is finally itching our voting finger. PS. Thanks Joe for calling out the realities that are evident to all reasonable folks.

Ahh the looney left…

The NIE was totally wrong about Iraq, remember??
Now you all believe the NIE to be accurate??
History begins fresh every morning when you are a liberal.

Lt. Jon, Kansas and History Repeats, NY

With all due respect sir I did not "blaspheme" in my comment.

I am shocked that you a Lt. can't see the course of action that America has taken as right and just. This may be the final stand if we don't carry on and finish the fight. And "no" I am not joking. You can lol all you want.

Anyone who claims President Bush is more of a threat to world peace than Iran is absolutely foolish.

It's fine if you oppose Bush's policies and views; but to LIE and claim our president is more of a threat than the world's top sponsor of terrorism is completely out of line and unforgivable.

Tom,,,,,, If bush doesnt even know when he is lying, how can he be prevaricating ? the sooner we can end the Bush/clinton era of politics the sooner the nation can heal and move foward

To Charles:
uncontestible, undeniable facts? Fox and hate jocks don't exactly deal in those. Take your meds.

Interesting comments to read. The overwhelming majority of people on here are in support of Biden. Very few against him. What does that tell you, you very few, about your precious, precious Bush? And let's not attack Biden too harshly, boys. He is, after all, the chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has been for quite some time. So, that being said, I think the man knows what he's talking about and kudos to him for finally growing a pair and denouncing the Bush administration the way he should have six years ago. Joe Biden is the candidate that I should be voting for but I will probably vote for Obama! Because I would like real change in Washington.

All of you G.W. haters need to take a deep breath and relax. You are living in the best country in the world, by far. You have all the freedoms anyone could want. The reason you can open your collective mouths and not be thrown in jail or even killed for your comments is because of this freedom. When Bush was elected, people loved him. He is leaving. In a few years you same loud mouths can complain again that the next president, maybe Clinton, Obama, Biden, have not doen anything for the country. Maybe after Bush leaves and the next president takes a soft stance on terror and then the U.S. gets attacked again, you will all say "how could Biden, or Obama or Clinton let this happen, they are worse than Bush…at least he kept us safe on the homefront". I guess time will tell. Running the USA is not like running a car wash, or Taco Bell, or dept. store. Has bush made all the right decisions, no. Has he protected yor interests, ie. shopping, working, living a nice life, going on family outings without fear of IED'S, and suicide bombers. I will let you answer that. You may not like him, but you have to respect him. he is the president. And by virtue of AMERICAN FREEDOM, you can select another in another year.

Patrick Curry Livingston, TX,

Or kinda like Dubya talking about ..

umm …

ANYTHING.

Eric, from THE Republic of Texas,

Note to Eric: There IS no debate. Your former Governor is indeed one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history - even the "smartest woman in the world" knows THAT!

And he was caught lying and spinning yet AGAIN!

Thanks for looking like an idiot and for the comic relief!

Unrestricted torture, check.
Warantless wiretapping, check.
Falsifying intelligence, check.
Most disastrous war since the end of Vietnam, check.
Leaks bordering on treason endangering CIA operations for political purposes, check.
Manipulating terror alerts for political purposes in an election season, check.
Failure to listen to CIA, State Department and military experts, instead favoring special interests like Halliburton and foreign elites like the Saudi royals or Cuban and Iraqi exiles, check.
But would the Bush administration ever deliberately ignored the Iran memo in order to give the American people yet another WMD bogeyman to be scared of? Surely not.

Biden your smarter then that. This report is no magic horse for I told you so. Politics we are trying to get away from. Still all the same if this one report that states with INTERNATIONAL PRESURE the Iran Nuclear program was halted in 2003. This Iran President has stated He does not like the United States. And wishes the doom for Israil. I am a Democrat and am against war, but come on I have children NO WAY will I let my gaurd down for a President that has so much contempt for our GREAT NATION. Iran is clearly still a threat. This is in no means to defend President Bush for I do not like how he has ran our country. But if I were a senator I to would have voted to designate the Revolutionary Gaurd as a tearist organization. That just took some of our people hostage less then a year ago. Where are proples memories at

To Jr. from California.

You have my deepest sympathies for having had such a poor education. The people responsible for educating the children in your school district failed you horribly.

Senator Biden's comments are EXACTLY what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Amendment I of the Constitution says "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech"

I will spare you the rest of the history lecture, but if you have the time, I highly recommend learning about the motivation behind it.

Biden's a buffoon, leave him on his own long enough and he'll put his foot in it…though he is the most qualified candidate on the Democrat slate. Doesn't say much for the rest of the field, does it?

it is terribly ironic that the people who are pointing to this intelligence estimate as truth are the very ones that just a few years ago didn't trust them.

I would highly question this intelligence estimate as well. it is suspect.

we need to fix our intelligence community. and biden is NOT the man to do it.

First, many people called G.W. Bush stupid. Then it stopped. This year, Nobel Laureate in literature, Dorris Lessing wondered if Bush might be even very clever.

If anybody wants to impeach Bush, what are they waiting for?

If you just make all the noise for nothing, please save the energy for something positive to say.

Joe Biden does have a point.
The problem is that our president cannot tell us anything classified. Bill Clinton, 6 years after his administration, won't even release documents during his administration till 2012. Hillary Clinton is desperate for their release.

Regardless of someone's "relevance" the proof is in the pudding today. The President could have short handed his press conference this morning with: we don't care what the intelligence suggests- we follow our agenda.

Shame on the White House and the RNC for attempting to distract people with their lame one liners- Biden may be many things but he is a United States Senator who is speaking out to the American public. Its about time we stopped being bullied into talking dishing on issues that clearly affect our security and perception in the world.

To all the folks on here screaming for Senator Biden to impeach President Bush, well, I hate to break this to you, but he can't.

See, there's this thing called the Constitution that states that only the House of Representatives can impeach a President.

Which means only one thing: that you are as ignorant as Joe Biden about the role that he has in government.

Please, for the love of God and country, don't vote. Crack open a book instead, and shut yer pieholes.

Biden gets a security briefing that the rest of us don't see. If I had to guess, which I don't, special operations has been working in Iran since 2004. Intelligence gathering, recon, political bribery, building a case for war. We have their infrastructure "light up" for strategic air bombardment. We can thank the industrial military complex (Haliburton) and Israeli lobbyist(jewish mafia) for pressuring our government into another war in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"We the people" are really screwed. There is no sunshine on the horizon in American politics, no "beacon of light" to look to with hope. No one who will really stand up to the darkness that has enveloped our country because of the risk to their pathetic political careers. All our politicians are the same dishonest, self serving, self gratifying, self rightious slobs, while brave, misled people continue to die for Bush and Cheny's "greater good." Daily, they stoop to new lows and the fallout from the last 7 years has just begun. This is much bigger than any of us can imagine.

We are truly screwed… God help us, and I do not say this in jest.

Biden, Ross Paro what's the difference their both loosers

I live in Europe and am intrigued lately about the American election process. I have been following it for some time. I think because your current president doesn't make me happy about things in our areas.

I have read some things about Sen. Biden and am interested in learning more about him. He seems normal and real and actually I tend to agree with what he says often.

I've read some of the responses and find it hard to believe he is not even being considered as a viable person for the presidency of your country.

I ask you all the same question that we in Europe asked when you rehired Bush;

How could so many millions of people be so stupid?

Some of the comments here have noted that Mr. Bush cannot run again. He just does not care what he does at this point. Why should he? Consider this, if he can't run again why should he care about what he does or says? You won't see him out campaigning out there for any of these Republicans. They don't want him and I note they rarely mention him. Mr. Bush wants a war with Iran so bad he can taste it. The Democrats should keep his feet to the fire on this. The Republicans are silent. Where is Dick Cheney hiding out again? I am proud to say I never voted for GW. Obviously someone did and the chickens are coming home to roost. Keep at it Senator Biden and Senator Reid!

Nah, Bush is only second worst- James Buchanan let a civil war get started here at home, Bush has only let one start overseas (so far at least). But there sure is a whole lot of daylight between Bush and #3.

I'm from Canada and even I know Joe Biden is the ONLY candidate who has the capabilities to lead America!

To all those who are supporting Ron Paul, Hillary, Barack, Rudy, McCain give your heads a shake!

Biden is the only Candidate running who holds any real truth. He speaks not from prompters but from soul. He doesn't waste his time attacking and belittling other candidates even though his ratings are lower. He is versed in International Diplomatic Relations. He is experienced in Politics. He has credible strategies in dealing with Iraq. He doesn't say what voters want to hear. He speaks from his heart and his values for his Country and fellow Americans. He's not a Flip Flopper, a White Washer, or a Chamelon. He's Joe Biden with nothing to hide.

Hearing Americans support these Bush Lites is more than nerve racking. Your votes do not only effect America - your votes effect THE WORLD. Bush has driven the world into complete and utter chaos. I pray to God that Americans will see through these Candidates giving lip service only to the "Leader Who Can Bring Change to America."

It's time to start asking these Candidates to explain their strategy for change in long form. As CHANGE void of any Strategy is what put the world in the dire straits it's in today! And it will take a strong, capable, honest, experienced leader to put American and the World back together again.

Jr California, you must need a beacon because your head is so firmly implanted where the sun don't shine. Whatever happened to land of the "free" home of the brave? or give me liberty or give me death? Our fore fathers must be rolling over in their graves with what is happening to our constitution and this country.

Why isn't Biden polling in the top tier? The top 3 lack experience and leadership and are too divisive to be president, while the 3 with experience, leadership abilities, and ability to work with both sides of the aisle are polling at the bottom. This just does not make sense to me. I think if people look at the issues and candidates experience, they will see better alternatives to Hil-Obama-John.

Oh if only Pinocchio could have turned into a real boy before the end of his story. Unfortunatley for us, he got stuck in the part where he turns into an ass and then he just stayed there.

Thank you, Former U.S. Army Officer above, for also speaking truth to power. It's refreshing to hear from reasonable people like you who've seen all sides.

To those calling for impeachment: Blame Nancy Pelosi for not bringing that to the floor; Joe Biden is not the leader of the Democratic caucus in the House and has no power to do so. He is, however, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, and he has every right and responsibility in the world to advise the president on policy toward Iran.

Biden is the only candidate I can stomache for a vote in the Democratic Party right now. The rest of them are a bunch of loons, and the evidence pretty much speaks for itself.

Joe you are irrelavant…always have been and you always will be…Your words mean nothing to the american people…just go away

It has been proven that Bush & Company are nothing but liars. I wouldn't trust Bush to tell me the sun was shining even if it was unless I saw for myself.

Joe Biden would be an awesome leader. He tells things like they are. Bush has been the worst thing that has ever happened to our country. Can you imagine if he would have been in office during the cuban missile crisis? or northwood? You could kiss the ground we stand on goodbye. Bush is a very scary person with more responsibility than he should ever have been given. I just pray that our country makes it through the next 13 months.

ps. I live in TEXAS and not all of us think like Eric.

does bush think we should wage wars based on NOTHING? our intelligence has clearly concluded that IRAN DOES NOT HAVE NUKES. LEAVE THEM ALONE! STOP TRYING TO START WORLD WAR THREE!

I don't know if it is just how the press reports it..but could the Whitehouse give the American people a little more than a "witty" one-liner?

One-liners and dodging questions: the only thing that Bush Press Secretaries are good for.

Love Joe Biden! He speaks truth to power! And, Eric from the Republic of Texas, W's record is something that is worth running against. Notice how the Republican candidates avoid mentioning his name. George W Bush is, in fact, the WORST president in ALL of our history!

Me thinks those hair transplants Old Joe had a few years ago must have been planted a little too DEEP Thus the fuzzy thinking!!

Charlie Roberts ,Eagle,Idaho

Yes Bush is THE most incompetent presidents in our nation's history…not "one" of.

Also that if Bush indeed was not telling us the truth as Biden claims about Iraq, then why isn't he being impeached right now as Biden speaks???

Bush is the worst American president ever. He and Cheney need to be impeached and charged for war crimes for their illegal, immoral, and unjust invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Jr. California

Live FREE or die.

I refuse to accept the sacrifice of Liberty for G W's "National Security".

Read the Constitution before you use the founding father's names. Your statements are blasphemous.

GW is an afront to the principles this country was founded upon.

"…a beacon for all others to see. " Yeh, Abu Ghraib and torture, New Orleans still in shambles, utter disregard for habeas corpus a pillar of Western jurisprudence, lies about WMDs and "yellow cake," the president joking about finding WMDs under his sofa, etc., etc. Some folks really have their heads buried in the sand, don't they? Impeach the political bums!!

It is amazing to me when people like JR from Calif. say without reservation that Bush is doing right by this Country. This President has done so much damage to our Country, our way of life and the life of future generations that I think impeachment is to good. I would support criminal charges and prison. What is wrong with you people?

Jr., California

hahahahahaahhahaahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahah…..wait your joking right?? right??? if this was the time of our fore fathers bush wouldnt even have a seat on the floor!! during that time we didnt have a standing army!!! we fought against people that attacked us. and if that was the case we would have went to war with suadi arabia since almost every hijacker on 9/11 was saudi arabian. you have a long road to go if you are really being serious with your statements…..im just going to believe you are joking

Eric, from THE Republic of Texas

he is a senator. he might be running for president but he still has a job to do as a senator and he is doing it. every statement he makes doesnt have to be directed to anyone that he is running against. hes better then any republican running for office.

Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself. And so should all of you that criticize our President and suggest his impeachment. How pathetic and unpatriotic you are.

Bush is doing a fine job as he looks out for you and I. This is what our fore fathers would have demanded. A president with our national security on the forefront, a beacon for all others to see. See the light people.

Um, Eric - Thank God Bush isn't running. America couldn't stand for more years of his ineptness, not that he'd win anyway.

He's a disgrace to THE republic of Texas, and the rest of the world as well.

Good for you Senator Biden. Now show us some presidential muscle and impeach Bush and put the administration up for war crimes. You will have my vote then!

Biden hit the nail on the head in his comments. Not only is Bush the most incompetant president in US history, he is also the most dangerous and clearly without doubt….mentally ill.

The ONLY threat to world peace is Bush. God save us from him and Cheney.

Imcomptent is a very correct description of the president. I completely agree with Biden whats ashame is he isn't the biggest runner for the democratic party. The biggest threat to our national security is having a leader who is ignorant, stubborn and war hungry. If anything this report hopefully will save us from another war that would have no actual justification or hardcore proof to back it. Bush needs to back off the hard war stance and start learning how to be diplomatic.

Patrick Curry Livingston, TX

no actually its not….it is completely irrelevant but nice try.

Danny

im suuuure you live in tehran. you must be the only person in iran blogging on cnn….amazing lol….just goes to show you the tactics of these republicans and there followers they will actually pretend to be from iran and argue with no real information on WHY biden is wrong….

i really like biden more then any other candidate but too bad it has nothing to do with credentials. ron paul would be going against joe biden if this country still had any HONOR!!

Yeah right, Preston… you honestly think Bush is more dangerous than Iran? Why don't you stop to consider why Ahmadinejad says his nation has no homosexuals–could it be they were all exterminated? Maybe you could also try to muster enough brainpower to think of all the Israelis killed and maimed by Hezbollah, which is directly supported by Iran and functions like an arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Of course, you probably don't believe that Iran is training and funding terrorists across the Middle East to harm the US and Israel either. Sure, you'll probably come back to say that George W. Bush has the blood of all dead Iraqis since 2003 on his hands, while conveniently forgetting that most of those came as a result of Iraqi-on-Iraqi sectarian violence.

Folks, Iran might not have a nuke, but it's not for lack of effort. For those of you naive enough to think Iran is now ready to play nice, think again.

And John from America– the Republic of Texas (from Eric's name) refers to the period from 1836-1845 when Texas was its own nation. It's just a symbol of pride we Texans carry. Have a good day!

thank you Joe. As usual, you are the only candidate up there with the qualifications to lead this country in the direction we need to go. This guy rocks and he is lucky to get a minute or 2 or coverage here and there. All because people think they have to choose between Hilary and Obama….two ultimately unelectable candidates. Joe is the only guy who can really get those crucial swing votes that we need. GO JOE, I SUPPORT YOU 100%!!!!

To Patrick Curry in Livingston, TX

You mean to tell me that you're saying he is not to be trusted because he did something stupid in law school? Are you kidding me?

Have you looked at what Bush has done? He has lied and failed this country over and over again.

He lied and took us into a war in which people have actually DIED!

hmmmm….trusting a person who cheated in college or trusting a person who lied and is responsible for the lives that we have lost. I think I'll pick the one who cheated in college.

Get Real!

As usual, JOE IS RIGHT. Joe understands how idiotic the Bush administration is in their policy of trying to pressure Iran to give up nukes while threatening to go to war with them because they are dangerous even without nukes. Like that gives Iran *any* incentive for playing ball.

We need Joe in the White House. No other candidate understands the situation like he does. Edwards, Hillary and Obama only understand how to smooth talk their way to power. Iowa, go with Joe!!

Patrick Curry -

Man, some people just don't read. Biden was cleared of all wrongdoing in the plagiarism allegation:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE1DD1230F93AA15756C0A96F948260

Besides, even if the charge WAS valid, why the hell do we care about mistakes people made 40 freaking years ago???

Charles, Charles, Charles…..where do I begin??!

First of all, the President of Iran does not have that much power. He can say all he wants but he's not the decider in Iran unlike our president thinks he is in this country.

Second, Iran is not the only country who says negative things about Israel. Are we to go to war with all countries who speak bad things about Israel?

Third, Iran has stopped supplying weapons into Iraq as confirmed by our own military and even when it had they were weapons that did not work. Are we to bomb Saudia Arabia because they are giving weapons and money to the Sunni rebels in Iraq? What do you say about that?

Fourth, are we to bomb Syria since they are allowing the weapons from Iran to be transported through and kept in their country before they enter into Lebanon?

Fifth, you write about the weapons and other things that Iran is openly working on. I ask you one question…where and from whom did you hear this? I assume the Bush administration which means that more than likely that information is incorrect.

Charles, don't be so naive. Afterall, it has been proven that the Bush people were wrong about Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The great Senator from Delaware speaks the truth, and has from the beginning. SOMEONE of political substance must lead the charge in getting this freakshow president and his terrorist administration out — N-O-W! A sidebar — the comment from Dana P at the White House is once again disrespectful and moronic. Good Lord, can't they find ANYONE over there who gets it?!? Where did they find this little brainless twinkie?

And, Eric, my friend, is everyone in the "republic of texas" as dimwitted as you appear to be?

Hey guys we can trust Bush Come On!!
(Sarcasm)

And lets all listen to Dan because he "lived in Tehran"

Bush said Iran is building nuclear weapons and the report says they stopped in 2003…of course he is lying
DUH!! This guy is the most dangerous man alive

I find it interesting that a man who cheated in law school is talking about trust. Kind of like Bill Clinton talking about abstinence and truthfulness isn't it?

Note to Candidate Joe Biden:
George W. Bush is not running for president.

You need to direct your debate with the self-described "smartest woman in the world."
Posted By Eric, from THE Republic of Texas : December 4, 2007 3:10 pm

WOW, even I couldn't have said it any more succinctly, nor with the astuteness and yes, dare i say, keen insight into this man's lost direction!

Thanks a million Eric!

P.S. Note to Joe:

hey dude, ur loozin ur mobbles… dont be such a sour loozer…

Mr. Steinhauser:
What is best for the country has nothing to do with what is going on in Iraq or the possibility of invading Iran. It has to do with money and wealth.

So many times President Bush has sounded the alarm on "fear" of terror or "nuclear" disaster, which is when he is like the boy crying wolf. We just don't believe him anymore. What is frightening is if he needs to "really" warn Americans about a threat, we won't believe him.

Whether it is about oil reserves or Iran's threat to Saudi Arabia, the American interests in the region has to do with the power of oil and the wealth of many princes.

Senator Biden is correct in saying President Bush in incompetent; he has never been working for the American people; only one percent of them, the ones with the wealth.

"Charade", Senator Biden, yes. But Americans still buys into the sanctity of the Presidency. As long as the war in Iraq doesn't inconvenience anyone in the US, and maybe lines our pockets a wee bit, the quest for truth and justice will not prevail.

Joe,
You know nothing about Iran. Having lived in Teheran for 18 years, I can feel what it is. You can lecture George Bush or anybody with your gimmicks. Some time ago, you came up with the idea of partitioning Iraq and now you want to talk about Iran. I think you can visit me in Teheran and see what we are trying to do here. Seeing is believing. Please do not lecture us neing give wrong news to American people.

What do you refuse to believe, Senator Biden? That Iran is a growing threat to peace and stability? That it is arming Hezbollah in Lebanon and Shia insurgents in Iraq, and conspiring with all the rest of our enemies across the globe? That its leader has openly declared, on countless occasions, an intention to wipe the state of Israel off the face of the Earth? That its military is openly acquiring greater offensive capabilities, including long-range ballistic missiles and state of the art anti-aircraft equipment? That its aerospace industry is openly developing its very own fighter jet? Is this what you refuse to believe, Senator Biden? Do you refuse to believe these incontestable, undeniable facts? And if not, Mr. Senator, then how dare you honestly reject or belittle the danger posed by the republic of ayatollahs?

How can we get this guy to win the nomination?

Iowa, NH, SC need to wake up and vote for this guy. Let's finally nominate someone who is strong and will not lay back and get rolled over.

Biden is the only candidate, I believe, who can beat any republican. If we want to win the White House back then vote for this guy. He tells it like it is and he is never scripted.

Joe Biden for President,

Did anyone hear this man speak at the Brown and Black Forum in Des Moines, Iowa? He was late arriving the debate, but he definitely stole the show. I agree with comments above about Joe, he tells you like it is and has at least two or three real genuine real like examples about how he engaged each circumstance.

TOUCHE' Senator Biden. Bush is indeed a lying, conniving, moronic, inept, incompetent president. Bush is such an authentic prevaricator that he himself doesn't even know when he is lying. The man is pathetic. The sooner he is out of office the sooner this national nightmare will end. I pray that God forgive this nation for electing such a diabolical idiot.

Sen. Biden comments were inaccurate. Bush is the MOST incompetent president American history. Followed closly by Pres. Carter. Get it right next time Mister Senator.

Note to: Eric, from THE Republic of Texas

Eric - Is George Bush your uncle? And since when has Texas left the USA?

And Joe Biden is absolutely correct - George W Bush is the worst president ever in our entire history.

Senator Biden is absolutely correct in his comments re Bush v Iran. Between Iran and George Bush, Bush is the greater threat to world peace and security. He is an incompetent president surrounded by complete and utter incompetence. Impeachment is long overdue.

Joe, I agree with you 100%. This is part of the reason why most Americans (including me) are afraid of the future of politics in this country. We can't get anyone to tell us the truth, no one remembers anything, the truth is ignored and we only find out about it 3 or 4 or 5 years after the fact.

That's why I would take Joe Biden for President before any of the other people running- democrat or republican! Why? Because he tells it like it is and lets the the chips fall where they may. I'd rather have Joe tell me to my face that he's going to rob me of my tax dollars and give them to China and the middle eastern countries for oil than lie to me to get it by creating some silly, frivolous, and dumb hogwash about "WMD's" and invading an insignificant country.

Bush's charade includes the entire UN..

Dana Perino you are hot to watch but completely foolish to listen to.

This has nothing to do with running for President but all to do with the President truly being incompetent.

You mean to tell me the most powerful person in the free world (our President) did not know about this until only last week? Are you kidding me? Why is he still President then? He's completely irrelevant and obviously even his own administration must think that if THEY didn't even tell him the news fours years ago.

How pathetic that this president is using that as his excuse. If that is true and he didn't know the BIG news I think I would have made up a lie!

If I wasn't already backing Hillary, Biden would be my man!

Man, Ron Paul's been saying there's no reason to go to war with Iran since this whole topic came up a long while ago. He also said there's no reason to go to war with Iraq before we did years ago. Maybe he's been right all this time about other topics as well…the Fed, NAU, DHS…hmmmm

This guy is awesome! For real, why is he not higher in the polls? He is the only candidate who has the experience to be our next President.

Come on people, wake up and listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking about. Don't vote based on popularity. Vote based on experience and someone who can heal this country on a global scale.

Interesting, even though I support Obama, I also like Biden. Although, I find it compelling that Biden negatively talks about Bush and his administration in terms trusthworthliness and incompetentence. If this is true, like we have seen in the past, then we need a honest, trustworthy, non-Bush type in the White House, which is OBAMA!

"The senator has said that if the administration goes to war with Iran, President Bush should be impeached." Too late, Joe! Bush should have been impeached a l-o-n-g time ago. You wimpy opposition politicos let him and Darth go on and on and on for too long. No fire in your bellies as the republic crumbles, the Constitution is trashed and wars rage.

The most seriuos threat to the security and safety of this nation resides at 1600 Penn Ave. The refusal of a major world leader to step forward in the diplomactic community and engage nations in open and frank discussions is absolutely irresponsible.

We see with the attitude this administration has displayed since the release of the declassified NIE with the stance that it means nothing Iran, Iran, Iran.

Bush may not be running for President Eric, but he is running this nation into the ground and it is the responsiblity of all Americans to call him on it, to include individuals running for office. Disregard and selective picking of intelligence is what got this nation where it unfortuently is today.

ERIC..EITHER YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT…

and he’s one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history

Excuse me Senator Biden….I think you mean most imcompetent president in ALL American history.

And why wait to impeach him if he tries to go to war with Iran. He's done plenty already to earn impeachment.

Note to Candidate Joe Biden:
George W. Bush is not running for president.

You need to direct your debate with the self-described "smartest woman in the world."
