Joe Biden - A closer look

Since Sarah has her own thread, I thought I'd start one for good old Joe

I love it when Joe opens his mouth:rotfl:

Read all about how Joe's helicopter was "forced down" on the "superhighway of terrorism"

Laugh if you want at it being FoxNews, quotes are still quotes and facts are still facts.

FOX and facts:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ght=journalism

not commenting much on the helicopter story, just saying on that part that accidents are part of military operation, and even more so when operating under wartime conditions - and to exclude that risk or talking it nice because it involves no active enemy fire, is absurd. I think 28 Germans have been killed in Afghanistan so far - the majority of them NOT by enemy fire. And allied helicopters repeatedly crashed in both Afghanistan and Iraq, also having caused loss of life.

Flying around in Afghanistan IS a dangerous thing. Wether one must use flowery language to describe that, is something different. But there are worse things. not knowng the difference between experience in foreign politics, and having a foreign land in sight on the horizon on a clear day, for example.

In a Baltimore speech last week, Biden said: "If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where (Usama) bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are."

I don't believe that the wonderful mister Biden was commenting on the dangers of flying in Afghanistan. I think it's quite obvious that he was distorting the truth to match his point.

Did you even read the article, Sky? Or just not comprehend it?

He's waiting for a Speigel article to tell him how to react would be my guess DT.

The terrible thing is, how many people will be fooled by his blatherring. I'll say what ever I have to, to get the election. I think Bozo the Clown could do better.

Heck even I could do better than that, but the media would blast me as a joke, since I would be pushing for strong adherence to the Constitution, and "not" as it's interpretted either.

"It is your patriotic duty" Joe Biden talking of paying higher taxes for those that gross $250,000.00 year.

You will be cutting your check when Joe?

An interesting but very modern and slightly concieted concept, considering that the two men most responsible for its existence in the first place had running arguments over their very different 'interpretations'.
