| Biden predicts "international crisis" if Obama wins |
| 2008-10-20 |
| Jennifer Rubin, Commentary On the very same day he told us that Colin Powell should have ended all questions about Barack Obama's national security bona fides, Joe Biden comes along to tell us precisely why we should be scared of Obama as commander-in-chief: "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."So, when, say, Tel Aviv or Stuttgart or Seattle disappears under a mushroom cloud, or the Ukraine gets overrun by Russian armor, or Chavez announces he has nukes, we're all supposed to rally 'round Obama as he goes to the U.N. Security Council to submit a strongly-worded resolution. Why have I a funny feeling that if I criticize Obama in these circumstances, the same people who have been telling me for seven years that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" will suddenly start questioning my patriotism? Am I just paranoid? Well, golly, if Obama is so untested that we will have a series of international crises -- at the very time we are in a financial meltdown -- which will make the Cuban Missille Crisis look like a walk in the park, shouldn't we vote for the other guy who will keep all the miscreants in their place? Now, maybe we should rest easy because, according to Biden, "I've forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I'm not being falsely humble with you." (Maybe Hezbollah's occupation of Lebanaon was one of the things he forgot.) Something tells me this is material for an ad that's a lot more credible than Hillary Clinton's "3 a.m." ad. That one came from his arguably frantic opponent--this one is from his running mate. |

| #17 GC is a lying, trolling Russophile who contributes nothing to the conversation here and who deserves to be banned. I gather that he's still got a bit left to travel before he gets into Arisland but he's moving there fast. |

| #16 Well, Mr. General_Comment, I'm still waiting for your answer about Sarah's briefings.. Course it could be, you are just so busy attending to the briefings, that you just don't have time to respond. Written or verbal? Your call.... me? I don't think you really know.... priding yourself on your quick come-back about the reading glasses? I'll admit, it was cute.... cute enough to drive you back into Lurkland when a request for facts backing the allegation was put forth. Come on...... I'm waiting for pages and pages of "proof" from you.... of, Sarah didn't read, cause she "misplaced" her reading glasses. Waitin'..... waitin'..... waitin'...... kinda quiet in here... Oh well, I got PIP.... I can do Heroes and ESPN football at the same time! |

| #13 General_Comment -- so you know, the briefings are in written form, and not delivered vocally? You know, they do get delivered both ways... You have some kind of inside track into Sarah's briefings? If so, what is your security level to participate in them? Also, since you seem to be so knowledgeable about the briefings, how often are they happening? |

| #12 "she is C-I-C of the the only state National Guard that is full time -- and has Russia doing drive-bys when they feel the urge." And "secret briefings" You forgot to mention if she ever bothered to read them. Guess, keeps forgeting those other reading glasses . . . . |

| #11 These candidates are already receiving briefs from intelligence, State, etc. Really makes one wonder, just what was in one of those brieings that Joe knows about, and just couldn't keep to himself? Security clearance, anyone? I'll bet Sarah has a better security clearance rating than Biden, she is C-I-C of the the only state National Guard that is full time -- and has Russia doing drive-bys when they feel the urge. |

| #10 I wonder if this SOB has been talking to DinnerJacket and is thinking about setting up a "No Fly/No Missile Zone" between IS and Iran. Didn't a bunch of representatives from Zero meet with DinnerJacket the last time he was here. When Palin was first invited and then dis-invited to a protest. |

| #9 Of course there will be a International Crisis "We have always been at war with Eastasia...." |

| #8 Of course there will be a International Crisis. It will come right after the massive domestic crisis as the new dhimocrat administration tries to take all our rights away. |

| #6 Oh yeah, and "Mark my words . . ." it's GOING TO HAPPEN, kind of gives it away too. It would be bad enough if it was actual, worse since they're inventing it. |

| #5 Well, it's obvious that Joe ALREADY knows what they will orchestrate: "Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy . . . " and "We're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right . . ." Well I feel like vomiting from nerves. WHAT, do you suppose, are they (meaning the Obama camp in conjunction with whoever) going to come up with? WHY is Joe ALREADY saying "It's not going to be apparent that we're right?" Well, why wouldn't be apparent? See, they've already run this thing down, and Joe is nervous that it's going to look bad. Unreal. |

| #4 Isreal better be. That dement (I am referring to Obama) would order the Air Force to shoot the israeli planes. |

| #3 Biden's loose lips will sink us all. If Obama wins, Israel will launch its long-expected attack on Iran's nukes during the window between election day and inauguration day. Thanks Joe for confirming this for our enemies. |

| #2 Good one, Joe. The folks over at Ace, be cause he said this, are theorizing that a "manufactured crisis" with a pre-determined/pre-positioned massive response by the One (Theatre, folks. Theatre) could be in the offing. |

| #1 So Joe, it'll be an international crisis if he wins? That's the first thing you've said that makes any sense. |
