Speaking at the Democratic National Convention about Sen. Barack Obama’s foreign policy judgment, Biden stated that Obama has advocated for two additional battalions in Afghanistan. It was brigades Joe. Totally different.

Then he said that Obama crossed party lines to get the Military better care, when in fact he was no part of that bill and was not there to vote for it.

Confused man he is.

What a team, one still thinks there are 57 states and does not know we have two different cities called St Louis and Kansas City and the other doesnt even know the difference between a brigade and a battalion.

36 years in the Senate and he has no clue yet?

Pitiful...

Absolutely pitiful.

They didn't have the armor because Clinton severly cut the military budget. It get's cut everytime a Dem is in office. The governent's first duty is to protect it's citizens but they rather waste the $$$ on social programs that never solve any problems

Really?
"Spending on social programs, from education to veterans health care, has risen faster than at any time since the 1960s" under the current Administration, and this is prior to 2007.
SOURCE

Richard Wolf, USA TODAY "President Bush and the Republican-led Congress have increased spending substantially since Bush took office in 2001. In those five years, spending has risen faster than at any time since the Vietnam War."

Your new party likes pork...... & Social Programs. And spending, lot's and lot's of spending. Forget Visa, where can I get one of those China Cards?

Richard Wolf, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — "Federal spending is outstripping economic growth at a rate unseen in more than half a century, provoking some conservatives to complain that government under Republican control has gotten too big."

"Spending on social programs, from education to veterans health care, has risen faster than at any time since the 1960s."

So if we weren't prepared to go to war with the proper equipment, then why go to war without the proper equipment.

Default Stupid old fool McCain

Anybody who supports borrowing from a Communist dictatorship to finance a war is no American in my book. The VietCong must have gotten to McCain. What a stupid old fool! What a supporter of Communism you are! You must be a Communist Pinko also! Why don't you go pick a war on Russia & see who wins? Certainly not your stupid old Alzenheimer's fool of a candidate. Do you think China will lend us money so McCain can pick a fight with Russia? How stupid are you? Duh! Go take your Communist Pinko McCain crap elsewhere.Your no American & no patriot in my book. Communist lover!

Only a Pinko borrows money from a Communist dictatorship to finance a war! What don't you get stupid!

Maybe it would be beneficial if China took over this country. They would get rid of the idiots like yourself who can't keep your flapping, ignorant jaw shut.

Bush didn't even know the difference between Shia and Sunni before he threw the inspectors out and went into Iraq. Just as most Americans didn't know the difference between a Baathist and a bathtub, and probably still don't.

That's your idea of foreign policy huh?
