Yes, Biden said a defeated and demoralized America that cannot threaten Iran, Syria will be the "only good thing" to come of Bush's Iraq policy. I don't know why the republicans never ran with this.
Biden: Good Thing Is That America Will Be Enfeebled, Syria & Iran Safe Hardball 4/1/04

I just watched Dem. Senator Joe Biden on Hardball. Interspersed with clips from Dick Clarke, Chris Mathews led and followed Biden on the most wrong headed, anti-defense tirades I have heard in a long time. The climax was Clarke saying the "scary" thing is that the Bush Administration might next attack Iran or Syria. But Biden had the answer.
Biden said, in no uncertain terms, that once the Bush Administration fails in Iraq, they won't dare attack another country such as Iran or Syria. He said our military will be completely demoralized and depleted, and the other countries will have no fear of America. He actually said that the "only good thing" to come out of this "failed policy" is that the Bush Administration will not dare repeat the "failed policy" elsewhere.
It wasn't the first time in the segment I felt like yelling "Who's side are you on!" Biden and Mathews also said Iraq cannot be governed except by a "bastard" i.e. Sadaam Hussein, and that's why it was a mistake to try to bring democracy there.
Biden also went on that it would take 5 years and 100,000 troops to effectively transition Iraq to self rule, but the Bush Administration was doing it "on the cheap." Last time I checked, we have over 100,000 troops in Iraq and Bush is spending $82 Billion there. But Biden seemed to pretend that we are pulling out in June.
According to Biden, the great failure of the Bush Administration is an emphasis on missile defense. Having seen New York attacked by jet aircraft, Biden sees no need to protect Los Angeles from a North Korean nuclear missile.
Biden is also certain that rogue states do not aid terrorists, that the Bush Administration just can't accept that these things are cooked up in an apartment somewhere, and so they mistakenly believed countries like Iraq were aiding the terrorists. Whoa! Did Biden ever hear of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan? Iran's and even Saudi Arabia's aid to terrorists? Syria's Bekka Valley loaded with terrorists?
It was truly a journey through the looking glass. The loss of Iraq was presumed, but of course it was good to remove Sadaam Hussein, it just wasn't done "the right way."
Biden should be hounded from the Senate for saying it will be a good thing if our military is defeated, depleted, and demoralized, and for giving assurances of safety to our enemies. But then, he's a democrat.
WTF?
Biden is Brain-Dead.
You would be more convincing if you had a link to a transcript, rather than a paraphrase.
DNC, the party of traitors.
After the 1996 takeover of Congress by the GOP, and the 2000 defeat of Algore, Rush predicted that alot of these old-time libs (like Biden) would retire because D.C. is no fun if you don't have power.
This is one of the time when Rush was wrong.
I pray that a mass of these Socialists will depart the scene after GW kicks sKerry's assets on 11/3.
I posted this the night the show ran, and when I tried to order the transcript from hardball they stopped replying when I said I wanted the show with Biden on it. He said it in no uncertain terms.
No. All demonic-rats are brain dead and have allowed demons to possess them and take over their brains, ah I mean their ganglia. That's why they all say the same thing. The demon, Satan, has possession of them all.
The dangerous-with-any-real-power triad that affects full-wack leftists: craziness, nastiness, and stupidity.
This was at the height of Richard Clarke. Mathews used quotes from Clarke to set up Biden's reactions. Biden went into a near treasonous rant when Clarke expressed the concern that Bush might next threaten Iran or Syria.
his hair is too tight
Biden is exceptionally stupid, even for a RAT. He's patty murray stupid. He's carrie meeks stupid. Who was that stupid RAT congresswoman who said we planted the flag on Mars? He's that stupid.
I am truly frightened that these people will somehow steal this election and will be running our country after Jan 20th. No matter what happens in this election..the course is clear. We have to bring the MSM to their knees. I will be damn if I live in a country run by the socialist/left wing media. If my ancestors had not died for this country in every war, going all the way back to the American Revolution, I might be tempted to move to Australia, where the conservatives just won all three branches of government. Say your prayers tonight, all. Our country is truly at stake.
I read the article about a Kerry cabinet. An idiot isolationist like Hagel at defense? Phony talk about Condoleeza Rice staying on. The Kerry team will be all left wingers, and Biden is frighteningly misguided.
Did you say "Dick Clark" I thought he only hosted the New Year's eve ball-dropping event. You know, the music, confetti...
It was so important I had to post 3X! Ha! Sorry.
Truth be told, Biden would have been a stronger candidate for the Dems(if there is such a thing)than Kerry. He must have some nasty stuff in his 'laundry' basket or the Dems would have run him long ago. God Save The Republic!
