(CNN) - The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists "bulls**t” and said if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians.
“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,” Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.
“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something.”
He quoted Gates saying Wednesday that we “need to figure out a way to develop some leverage and then sit down and talk with them.”

Tell'em, Joe! Bush is the biggest hypocrite, a##hole president the world has ever seen. Bush himself is made of bullsh#t. We need to tar and feather the entire Bush administration and run them out of Washington on a rail. They are all creeps. Hopefully, this November America will do just that.

Now that's what I call the Straight Talk Express.

TEL EM JOE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is like the outerlimits the president is in another country claiming that dems who are also citizens appease terrorists then why isn't he arresting dems allover america george bush has stooped to the lowest i have ever seen a president
FINALLY! Thank you Joe Biden!! It is nice to see someone with the conviction to say what everyone knows. It is a shame more persons in government lack the courage to stand up and take Bush to task for his stupidity.
You tell him, Joe! Bush seems to have lost his 'bearings' too... I have several adjectives to discribe him: ignorant, pathetic, liar, dishonest, unfair, gun-ho, etc. Please help me find more adjectives!!
Way to call this out, Senator. Thank you for your candor in exposing these criminals, their hypocrisies and lies. What a disgrace these last eight years have been and theyre still at it. Unbelievable.
History will judge Bush as THE most incompetent, uneducated, and stubborn "President" the United States has ever had.
No one cares what nonsense comes out of his mouth. I'd trust a 5 year olds foreign policy to Bush's.
Right on Joe.
It's a bit lnsane. Doesn't the President know that the internet exists, and that people use it to find out that Gates and Rice have both suggested discussions with Iranian leadership?
What a low blow from a guy with no credibility. And for McCain to just tag along as if Bush said anything credible.
I stand with the President on this one, you cannot negotiate with terrorists. You are deluding yourselves if you believe otherwise. 'nuff said.....
Biden is 100% correct. The President, and his policies, have actually encouraged terrorist organizations and rouge nations by completely denying that there are issues in the world that cannot be solved militarily.
I heart Joe Biden...he was actually my first choice for President. He is the only man I know who will blantantly curse on national TV and mean it!!!
But I am now an avid supporter of the Obamanation!!
Obama/Biden 08'!
