Report: Biden attacks Romney's readiness for war with Iran |
2012-09-03 |
[Jerusalem Post] US Vice President ![]() Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... on Sunday attacked Republican presidential candidate Willard MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. More to the point, he isn't President B.O... for being "ready to go to war" in Syria and Iran, NBC News reported. Biden's comments came amid ongoing speculation that the Obama government and the Netanyahu government were not in sync on the Iranian nuclear program. "Listen to what he (Romney) says about foreign policy. You caught some of it in his speech [at the Republican National Convention,]" NBC quoted Biden as saying in a sweeping condemnation of Romney's foreign policy strategy. "He said it was a mistake to end the war in Iraq and bring all of our warriors home. He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home. He implies by the speech that he's ready to go to war in Syria and Iran. He wants to move from cooperation to confrontation with Putin's Russia." |

#7 OTOH DAILY TIMES.PK > REPORT: US TO RAMP UP ["short of war"] PRESSURE ON IRAN TO AVOID WAR, both to deter or prevent US ally Israel from attacking Iran, as well as to induce Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. How can VEEP JOE criticize Romney when the Bammer Admin itself has said in the past that "all options" agz Iran are still open, including but not limited to the military option = use of force, in addition now to the above??? Given also ... * FREEREPUBLIC, TOPIX > [SecState Hillary] CLINTON: IRAN HAS RIGHT TO [peaceful] NUCLEAR POWER, i.e. for Civilian NucEn. * Also from TOPIX > ISRAEL's FUTURE [existence] "AT RISK" IFF IRAN STRIKE SANCTIONED. Unless I've missed something, Israel's existence has been threatened by Iran oer the past 20 years-n-counting, long before both Israel's threaten to attack Iran's NucProgs + as well as 9-11. |

#6 "US Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden on Sunday attacked Republican presidential candidate Romney for being "ready to go to war" in Syria and Iran ..." WHAT??? SAY WHAT ?????????? I'll personally kick in $50 and a six-gun ... if either one of you candidates wants to buy a plane ticket to Tel Aviv. Things should be heating up over there pretty soon, I figure. :-) |

#3 Excellent comment, Mr. Vice-President. Here's what I want you to do: Every time you see a microphone or a camera at the convention, just start talking. Say whatever's on your mind. Remember, you've got a lot more experience than Barack, and the kid can't do this without your vocal support of his policies. That talking-points thing they give you is more like a guideline, really. |

#1 I believe Biden missed his medications again. They keep him tied on a short leash but they have to stop tying it to his belt. You should see the bill for all those pants he has lost running off. |
