Biden: US Ready To Take Pre-Emptive Action On Iran
3 News ^ | February 8, 2009

Posted on 02/08/2009 6:10:47 AM PST by Fennie

Vice President Joe Biden warned Saturday that the US stands ready to take pre-emptive action against Iran if it does not abandon nuclear ambitions and its support for terrorism.

But in his first major policy speech as President Barack Obama's No 2, Biden also declared the US open for talks with Iran and Russia to repair relations. And he reached out to the world with a promise that the Obama administration will work with allies to solve global problems.

"We will draw upon all the elements of our power - military and diplomatic, intelligence and law enforcement, economic and cultural - to stop crises from occurring before they are in front of us," he told the gathering in his 25-minute address.

Like what? Ask the UN Security council to send a sternly worded letter?

“Can you imagine the world reaction if we filled about 200 B-52s with live pigs and dropped them on the streets of Teran all at the same time”

Do we have 200 operational B-52s?

One problem with Joe is that nobody takes him seriously.

The other problem with Joe is that he takes himself seriously.

Sure Joe, you'll be in the trench too, with Bubba at your side. Nothing personal, actually it is personal, I don't don't want either of you on my flank, certainly not at my back. And you can throw BHO in that mix, The One who would have enlisted, but there were no hot wars at the time. Just little stuff, like Beirut and Grenada, not worthy of those buffed pecks.

Ambassador Bolton has it right.

'With no likelihood of US use of force, that leaves Israel'( John Bolton)

You'd be there with the crocodile tears though, fortunately they won't be necessary.

I'll give this to The Biden, he's the most entertaining VP since Agnew.

No one is sure what Joe really said. If it were possible to talk out of three sides of his mouth, Biden would do it.

It's easy for Joe, like all of us he has four cheeks, his judgement aligned with the lower set.

The freaks at Kos and DU must be spazzing out over this. They have been screeching “leave Iran alone” for the last 2 years. Now comes a ‘Rat threaten Iran.

I love it.

What are the Democrats fantasizing about, sending harpies from their usually bloated HHS to emasculate the mullahs?

Liberals contemplating action on national security?

Must be to divert attention from their failed economic policies.

“Wag the bailout”.

Translated:

heck since we care little about the troops and their life & sacrifices to serve America, we can do whatever we want to create an illusion to be standing up against Iran. Heck, I dont really care since 0Bama's been talking to them for so long already all my bluster is to attempt a 'wag the dog' to the the public's attention away from that Stimulus Package stinker.

Biden is going to spend a lot of time at funerals in Kyrgyzstan, Ouagadougou and Burkina Faso for this policy breach!
