This is 'experience'?

Barack Obama's presidential running-mate Joseph Biden told Israeli officials that they need to accept the idea Iran will acquire nuclear weapons.


Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, visiting Israel several years ago, told Israeli officials diplomacy and sanctions would be futile against Iran.



On Monday Israel's Army Radio reported details of the comments Biden made when he met with "senior Israeli officials behind closed doors."


Reportedly Biden told the officials he opposed "opening a additional military and diplomatic front" against Iran. "Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran," Army Radio quoted Biden as telling the Israelis. Army Radio said that at that time Israeli officials were shocked by Biden's comments.



Within Israel, a consensus across the political spectrum has developed on the Iran matter. Iran's president Ahmadinejad has stated that he will wipe Israel off the map, making clear his use weapons of mass destruction against the Jewish state.



Up until now, Biden has been an ardent supporter of the state of Israel in the Senate. His selection by Barack Obama was seen as an effort to shore up support with the U.S. Jewish community. Obama has given mixed signals on the Iran threat. During the Democratic primary he argued for direct negotiations with Iran. He has avoided making any suggestion the U.S. should take military action against Iran.



Last Monday Obama said he would continue to use diplomatic means to stop Iran's nuclear program.

[So much for 'foreign policy experience.' On the one hand, Biden says no additional diplomatic initiatives in Iran, while Junior argues for negotiations. "Experience" in this matter means absolutely nothing; Biden's position is one of capitulation, the typical quisling's approach.]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that having Biden in 2nd Spot is just as scary as having Nancy Pelosi 3rd in Command.
Let's hope & pray for the best and/or that MORE voters are NOT DUPED by Leftists, than are.
Don't believe America can survive a TOTAL Obama, Biden & Pelosi or obvious 1-2-3 Strike Out.

In fairness, all three alluded to would no doubt be great for governing The United Nations
on East Coast or San Francisco area on the shaky side of America. But,...that's about all.
Normal Americans DESERVE (since Pay For) much better than ingrates & foreign nationals.
Don't you think?

Exzackery my point! The trite, banal whine about how experienced Joe Biden is actually begs the question. Foreign policy experience is only as valuable as is the power behind the representation. If the adversary on the other side of the table perceives us as being weak, which is what an Obama administration would convey, then Joe Biden's 'experience' is totaly worthless. And since there is already a known contraveneing policy between junior and ol' Joe, the adversary has an additinal helping of strength.

The conservative Freedom Defense Fund is already up with an ad with a voiceover of Barack Obama praising just resigned and jail-bound Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick as a "great mayor… and a leader not just in Detroit but all across the country… I'm grateful to call him a friend," with the primary image a mug shot of Kilpatrick with text overlaid with the charges against him. At then end, white on black text reads: "You should know who Barack Obama's friends are."
