Don't get me wrong..

I am applauding Biden's actions. And I am sure that he really wanted to be the man he claimed to be in that speech..

But you can't protect a country with a blind eye to the realities of the world we live in...

"No country has ever been saved by 'good' men. Because 'good' men will not go to the lengths that will be necessary."
-Horace Wapole

or....

"You don't fight a junkyard dog with ASPCA rules. You take the leash off your bigger and meaner dog."
-Senator, UNDER SIEGE

Take your pick...

That's the reality of the world we live in today.

And I applaud Obama & Biden for seeing this and acting accordingly...

Now, if they could just be less hypocritical about it and be more like Bush, then I would be a lot happier...

And I am sure they would be a lot more popular... :D

Michale.....

There's no argument...

Obama IS continuing the Bush CT policies.

To his credit and resulting in the safety of this country AND the elimination of Osama Bin Laden.

That says something about what the American people want - with respect to national security and civil liberties and all of the other principles Joe Biden stood for then and does so today.

Sorry to burst yer bubble there, but Biden is as complicit as Obama in continuing the Bush CT policies..

While Biden get's an atta-boy for seeing the obvious, his 180 degree turn must have been painful...

Michale.....

No one wants to argue that Obama is just continuing the policies of the Bush administration with regard to national security and civil liberties? That's a surprise. I would just say that it's too bad that a guy like Biden had to remove himself from the presidential race following the Iowa Caucuses after garnering less than 1% of the vote. That says something about what the American people want - with respect to national security and civil liberties and all of the other principles Joe Biden stood for then and does so today. What?
