QUOTE At a fund-raiser Sunday night in Seattle, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden predicted that if Obama is elected, "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy," who authorized the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba three months after his inauguration in 1961, then faced the Cuban missile crisis the following year. "Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy," Biden continued, according to press accounts. "As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's going to happen. . . . And he's going to need help." http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/20...-to-suppor.html QUOTE "I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - 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." This is a curve ball. Basically, stick by your President even if he screws up. Sounds a like they are just prepping us for failure. Reminds me of Bush and the WMDs, which strangely enough was squarely addressed in Stone's new movie. He points out the fallacy of "Bush lied. People died" and places blame on the intelligence community. But, Cheney didn't come on TV and tell people to stick by him either. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
