US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has warned that rival John McCain will "endanger" US security.
He said that the election winner would face security "tests", due in part to President Bush's "bad policies".
Earlier his running-mate Joe Biden said Mr Obama could face a "generated international crisis" within six months of becoming president.
Republican rival John McCain said Mr Biden's comments proved that Mr Obama would be a risky presidential choice.
'Core point'
Mr Obama told reporters that his running-mate "sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes".
"His core point was the next administration is going to be tested regardless of who it is," he insisted.

Obama's own running mate said our enemies would use a crisis that they generate to test him if Obama wins and that he would initially flub the U.S. response. He has friends like Bill Ayers who declared war on the United States and Barak Obama is certainly going to crash the U.S. economy by raising taxes "in the name of fundamental fairness".
So, I think voters should take a close look at who would "endanger" us.
a-BWAHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAA!
Obama can’t seriously be that much of an idiot. Obama is the single most dangerous threat to the security of the US
One word (two if you’re Joe Biden): projection.
Straight out of the Dem playbook: Projection
Yeah, McCain will endanger us, but Senator Surrender is the ticket to safety. LOL!
Brits making up “CYA” bylines for “The One” now?
McCain doesn’t have friends who wanted to slaughter 25 million of us and invite communists to help them occupy America.
projection.
“John McCain will “endanger” US security.”
ROFL.
Ridiculous.
Obambi, of course has it exactly backwards, it is Obambi himself that will destroy this country totally in less than 4 years in conjunction with Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Conyers, Ginsberg, etc., et al.
Hey O, it was your own running mate who basically admitted the other day that the rest of the world will see you as weak and ineffectual and test you within six months of your election!
Nobody picks a fight with a tough guy. The fact that your own running mate thinks they’d pick a fight with you shows that he (and whoever he got the info from) thinks you’re a weakling.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice try Barack but I’m one American who isn’t ready to go into your surrender mode. Neither is John McCain. Unlike you and Rimshot Joe, McCain does what’s right and doesn’t worry about “the polls.”
Compared to him this is the mother of all lies
"His core point was the next administration is going to be tested regardless of who it is," he insisted.
Yeah, that's what Biden said. Yeah. Sure....
I see. So any international (or national) crisis during an Obama admin will be Bush's fault, but if happens during a McCain admin then it would be the fault of both Bush and McCain. Gotcha, B-HO.
a president Obama will blame every problem he faces on Bush. He will never own up to responsibility for his actions.
Keep talking Plugs.
Question: Is it possible Obama is considering a major change in foreign policy? Specifically, will he turn the US away from backing Israel by declaring US neutrality on the Middle East? Such a change would certainly generate a crisis, or even worse.
Oh yes he can! And that's the scary part.
McCain will now denounce Obama’s unacceptable, slanderous remarks and demand a retraction, thereby putting the other guys on the defensive for a change.
Just kidding. As we know, the McCain campaign can’t even mention the loathsome, America-damning Jeremiah Wright for fear of being called raaacist.
You fight with the army you have...
Facts and murderers can't be spun.
I am looking at property in Alaska. I am thinking i should look at property in New Zealand. If BO wins, I will move out of California, to another country, and help the revolution from there
Has anyone heard from Joe Biden since the big faux pas? Seriously, if Obama’s numbers continue to dwindle, Biden will be scapegoated and will be persona non grata within the Democrat Socialist Party.
Can you imagine the charges of fear-mongering the media would make if McCain had of said the same thing about 0bama?
One thing is certainly true this election...years of kissing the media’s ass by McCain has not helped him one bit.
Where is the photo of Baghdad Bob?
And miss out on all the fun?
he’s going to build an army of college kids (brainwashed by the community service requirement for college tuition help) and convince everyone to go into total war with China. Total war means you can raise taxes to 90% and still get total production.
How did it all happen?
-china holds our debt
-obama wants to bust the debt wide open with spending and anti-growth measures
-obama is a protectionist, wants tariffs on chinese goods
-that gets support from the free Tibet left to the anti-commie right along with people sick (literally) of chinese goods
-China really ticked off, tries to take taiwan
-China is anti-muslim. This war is ok
That is a knee slapper.
No Obama, your running mate said YOU (by name) were going to be tested. Not McCain, you spinning fool.
We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.
Of course the BBC buys this lie hook line and sinker
b) Parts of US overseas daily and weekly intelligence reports that indicate detailed analyses of foreign threats going forward six months out, [with two templates, one of President McCain and one of President Obama] wgucg unmistakeably show that the latter case engenders a major spike in terrorist or rogue nation threat potential against American interests in the USA and abroad, must be selectively leaked. Certainly these do exist and/or are being formulated as we speak, based on assets, chatter and other source information, including friendly-nation foreign intelligence, foreign media/think thank assessments (i.e. Japan towards North Korean behavior) as well.
In both of these cases, this takes the cooperation of the current Administration. But it can be done without them--even using open source material--if they are too timid.
They had better get on the ball and get er done, and I don't mean maybe. We are going to hell in a handbasket otherwise, folks. Eagles. Up.
well, how else do you fund a new New Deal or a even greater Great Society without going to war with your biggest competitor?
This is what kills me. Palin’s the big drag, right? Huge embarrassment, dimmer than a dead bulb, yadda yadda....
But when has McCain ever had to APOLOGIZE for her? Let’s see... round up to nearest number... carry the nine....
That’d be ZERO times.
But is the press going to make a big deal about it? Duh. No, they’re in damage control mode, fabricating polls about how damaging Sarah Palin is. What about polls about BIDEN? What about demanding that HE have press conferences? What about demanding that HE clarify what he was saying, and insisting that Obama speak to what he actually said?
Want to see my daughter’s wedding in January, so I won’t be holding my breath.
“US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has warned that rival John McCain will “endanger” US security.”
Pot, kettle.
“Earlier his running-mate Joe Biden said Mr Obama could face a “generated international crisis” within six months of becoming president.”
Hey Biden, it will not take Obama any where near 6 months to create an international crisis.
WOODRUFF: Senator Obama, one of the, of course, enormous consequences of 9/11 were the wars in Afghanistan and then Iraq. In the wake of those wars, today, the United States military is facing enormous challenges. Junior officers are leaving the Army in record numbers. The recent graduates of West Point leaving the Army.
What would you do as president to make serving and staying in the military more attractive to young men and women?
OBAMA: Well, first of all, as commander-in-chief, my job is to keep America safe. And that means insuring that we’ve got the best military on Earth. And that means having the best persons in uniform on Earth. We have that right now, but as a consequence of these wars, they have been strained incredibly. I think it’s important for us to increase the size of our Army and our Marines so we can reduce the pace of tours that our young men and women are on...
But it’s also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it’s important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some...
And by the way, we will deploy you in some difficult areas, but that’s part of what it means to be an American and to serve and to sacrifice...
And so, I think a president who is consistently asking for young people to reach for something higher, something bigger than themselves, I think, will get enormous response.
ROFLOL!!
Pot=Kettle, Big Time!
Sounds like Obama is saying he will keep us safe by being weak and submissive.
