I think it is a serious mistake to dismiss what Biden said as a frivilous misjudgment.
Mark Biden’s words. He knows something and it scared the heck out of him.
Please, all FReepers, I ask you, go back and read again what Biden said.

Scroll down to find the article, quoting Biden word-for-word.
Read this, keeping in mind what Joe Biden believes to be serious threat, simply because of Obama’s inexperience.
Thanks for linking that. You’re probably right in saying it’s not a gaffe but I’ll never believe BO has “got it.” BO is not prepared to handle anything militarily or diplomatically, IMO. I believe he’d be a pushover for any foreign leader that would challenge us and even though Biden brags of all his experience he’s been on the wrong side of everything for years. They’re both really scary.
If Biden were smart and honorable, he could secure his place in history by resigning from the ticket, reasserting his prior statements (from the primary) that Obama isn't ready and that he would have far more confidence in a McCain administration. It would be an unprecedented turn in American political history.
He would of course, be soundly thrashed by his party and the media, but he would be forever remembered as a patriot who put his conscience and the nation above party and personal ambition. He could completely rehabilitate his reputation for doltish gaffes and plagiarism.
Of course, he's not smart, honorable, or courageous, and as such, even with an Obama win, he'll be remembered as a foot note...the VP of the first African-American president.
I find his remarks serious considering that the Friday before he made these remarks both campains went to the WH for terrorists briefings.
