Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden on Sunday guaranteed that if Barack Obama is elected president, there will be an international crisis within six months.
It's certainly going to be interesting to see how the Obama-loving media report this potentially huge gaffe by the Delaware senator.
UPDATE AT END OF POST: Is Biden basing this on national security information the Obama campaign received from the White House last week?
Kudos to ABC's Matthew Jaffe and the networks Political Radar blog for posting this Monday (emphasis added, partial audio embedded right):
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities.
Wow! Powerful stuff indeed. Think it will be widely reported?
Before you answer, consider what would happen if Sarah Palin made such a comment. Think that would be newsworthy?
We'd probably hear about it every day until the elections, wouldn't we?
*****Update: FoxNews.com reported Sunday that Obama and McCain campaign reps received national security information from the White House last week (h/t Gary Hall):
For the first time in American history, the FBI is already vetting members of the next administration in an effort to make sure that whether John McCain or Barack Obama is the next president, their staffs will be ready to handle any national security threats.
Though no specific threats are evident at this time, some members of the intelligence community say terror groups love to target countries during transition periods. Those intelligence experts point to terror attacks that came as Gordon Brown took over as Britain's new prime minister, and the Madrid bombings of March 11, 2003, that happened just before a major election there as examples of the vulnerability of new administrations.
White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten reportedly held a meeting this week with senior White House staffers and representatives from both the McCain and Obama camps. The goal was to make sure everyone is up to speed on the latest threats and have the information they need to be ready come inauguration day, Jan. 20.
Might Biden be revealing national security secrets in order to further his campaign?

Biden is Correct
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 10:51 ET by allanfBiden is correct. Obama will be tested. He gives every sign that he will fail the test.
Leaders don't "bring people together", they lead.
The only leadership from Obama will be hard left socialism.
Bringing people together

IMO, this is the money quote
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 10:39 ET by motherbeltIMO, this is the money quote from that article:
Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from
now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the
polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make
some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking
you now, I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the
faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce
us."
"There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute,
yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision'," Biden continued.
"Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I
believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular
as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not
sound."
So Bush should follow the polls and change course because of them, and it's fine for the American people to demand that, but when Obama's President, it's important that we all stand behind him and support him even when things get tough.
What a bunch of B as in B, S as in S!
Sounds to me like Biden is
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 10:46 ET by kgSounds to me like Biden is telling the people to lower their expectations of Obama if elected. He needs not to worry though. The media will do nothing but fawn over any decision Obama makes regardless of what that decision is.

The question now is "Will the international crisis come along before Barack gets a chance to spread the wealth around?"
Maybe Barack can do miracles, spreading the wealth while apologizing for our role in aggitating those that triggered the international crisis.

Mon, 10/20/2008 - 12:33 ET by athoughtor2let's see here. the decision if invade iraq and take out sadam was based on sound judgement with the info we had at the time.... so that passes 1 test of Biden's
then after a while and several missteps, including bad intel, it is not as popular...2nd test passed
then the polls and opinion go against the decision and President Bush....3rd test pass
but remeber to still support the President....opps Biden and Co fail that test. So he will not even back his own ideas and statements
Biden sounded very definite....
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 16:17 ET by Tailgunner...and very certain in his prediction. Either Biden is a very good prognosticator or he is a very bad security risk.
Biden also spoke of an Obama response that would be unpopular. Is he setting us up for a domestic scenario that might restrict civil liberties?
Makes sense. The only 'influence' Obama supporters could exert in this imminent crisis would be domestically.
IMO, the only 'steel' in Obama's spine is from the knives Biden keeps sticking in his back.

President Reagan was tested and pushed back so hard the wall fell, President Bush the elder was tested and pushed Iraq back, President Bush the younger was tested and he pushed hard and is still pushing.
Obama will be tested and he will say we need a summit, we need nogotiation, we need to organaize a community protest. All the while Iran is threatening to bomb Israel with nukes.

They wouldn't attack because they see us in transition and weak? Bush stood up to the task, Obama will give them Florida and Georgia to leave us alone.

Joe Bidens Knows:
If and when BHO gets into the White House, the Middle East will blow up.BHO has supported the Radical Muslims which, once in the White House signals them to attack Israel, and BHO will do nothing.
The Israelis will fight on their own, win and BHO will be exposed as to being the Extreme Left Wing Terrorists supporters that he is.
It will be a great eye opening for BHO supporters. Should be fun, sad but fun.
Good Bye Israel
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 12:21 ET by JillCWActually, you may not be that far off base. This is right from the Bible. Read Psalm 83 and then flip to Ezekiel 38-40. BHOFalseMessiah is the perfect world leader to recite the words in those passages about "Gee, guys, did you come to take a spoil?" Ironically, 82% of the invading forces will be wiped out without Israel having to fire a single weapon. The rest will get creamed when they try a sneak attack from the North. Oh, Russia also gets destroyed, but that works since their the ones funding the invasion and providing the weapons.
What's more frightening pre-election is the article on worldnetdaily.com wherein Corsi explains that Odinga signed a written agreement with Muslims that Kenya would become a Muslim country under his rule (complete with Sharia law) and Christianity (the majority religion of the nation) would be outlawed. Sounds like maybe God knew what He was talking about when He warned us this was coming.
Remember, in the Muslim world, BarryHO is still a Muslim because his father was a Muslim. Guess he just doesn't want to let that cat out of the bag. Seriously, if he were really a Christian and were seriously denying "my Muslim faith," he would be the chief infidel they'd want to wipe out to demonstrate their power.

Biden personally guarantees a "generated crisis"?
What planning committees is he on? Will we get a heads-up? Do we get to pick which crisis we want? Do we have to have just one, or can we have all 4 or 5?

Why didn't Biden, instead
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:05 ET by mattmWhy didn't Biden, instead of going waaaaay back to JFK, refer back to 9/11? I wonder....is he afraid people will compare Osamba to Bush and realize the Big 0 would turn tail and run?
JFK failed his test in 1961, BTW. Yes, he got the Soviets to remove the missile sites in Cuba, but to get that he gave up our missile sites in Turkey and elsewhere, and he allowed 30,000 Soviet military trainers to remain in Cuba to train Castro's armies, who were deployed to Angola, Grenada, Nicaragua etc., and he also promised never again to intefere with Cuba's communist regime.
Kennedy caved. As did every president until Reagan. And now, Bush is the first one to stand up to the challenge of Islamic terrorism - would Obama or Gore or Kerry have done that? No friggin' way.
For all the hate they pour on W, they also know he compares very favorably on international affairs issues to ANY candidate the Dems can come up with. So, it's no wonder they constantly harken back to FDR, Truman and JFK.
P.S. If tax cuts are so wrong, why is Obama promising them?
Where JFK REALLY screwed up (not the Cuban Missile Crisis)
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:32 ET by UnsaneKennedy caved. Not quite. Yes, the missiles were pulled from Turkey...so what? Missiles could still be deployed to Western Europe as was done under Reagan when the GLCMs were sent there. (I can't remember when the Pershings first showed up.)
Where Kennedy screwed up was not the Cuban Missile Crisis, but the Bay of Pigs. Had that gone right, there perhaps wouldn't have been a Cuban Missile Crisis.
Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief. Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.
There's some truth in
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:48 ET by mattmThere's some truth in that. However, after the Bay of Pigs he caved to everything the Soviets wanted, as did Nixon, Ford and Carter (I don't know about LBJ)...
I think failure of policy and resolve is more devastating than a failed battle here or there. If JFK had followed up the Bay of Pigs with a tougher policy and a better strategy, the Bay of Pigs would have faded from memory as we would have kept the Soviet influence out of this hemisphere. But we cowered.
Since WWII only Reagan and W have consistently stood up to our enemies. Everyone else caved to the peace-hawks in one way or another, which always leads to a stronger enemy and tougher battles to face in the future.
An Obama administration would be a return to the peace-chicken policies that emboldened the Soviets and the Islamofascists...
How Soon Will Obama Establish Full Relations with Cuba

Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:06 ET by capavWe hear the truth. I think what Joe is telling his supporters is that when Obama gets elected (by promising he'll end the war), he'll "find" the situation worse than he thought and will need to remain longer than promised. He hinted at that with an interview on Today with Matt Lauer. The mask is slipping off. One of those elastic bands that holds it on broke!

Or maybe it'll be real Americans uprising against it's leader as it faces the reality of it's sovereignty going in the sewer to join the EU?

Obama reminds me of Sonny
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:16 ET by suzycreamcheeseObama reminds me of Sonny from The Godfather, who at a mob meeting showed his willingness to deal in drugs before he was silenced by Don Corleone. Sonny's show of eagerness and proof of a rift in The Family led to the mob war and bloodbath not long afterwards.
Obama has shown many signs of weakness and a willingness to deal with the bad guys. I think Biden makes a good point.
Another time and place
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:18 ET by cvgbuckeyeIn another time, another place AND a different candidate, the election of a minority to the presidency of The United States would be a great and defining moment for America.
BUT, here is the problem. If the polls are anywhere near accurate, we are about to find out the CHASM and I mean the CHASM of difference that exists between the mind-set of main stream America and someone that has been born, raised and indoctrinated on Black Liberation Theology.
America could practically survive socialsim than it could with a president whom is brainwashed by this mind-set;;;and I reject all accusations that this is a racist response. This has nothing to do with any racism on my part and everything to do with radical, hate baiting, racial revolutionary, devisive, revenge mongering that has the potential of more than dividing this nation along racial lines than anytime since the Civil War.
Add to the equation a left wing controlled Senate and House that will allow unfettered excercising of these absolutely revolutionary theories and we have the perfect storm primed for the fall of America as we have ever known it.
When the executive office starts to excercise its policies, more than just main stream America is going to stand there with her mouth open, aghast at the spectacle and it will be to late.
It will take decades to right the ship if ever. This is going to be far more than just a lost election.

Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:58 ET by ahusserThis is a watershed election no doubt. If the mystery man wins I submit the least we can hope for is some kind of weenie wishy washy european socialism as the least of all evils. Other scenarios are much much worse.
The man's conflicted strange background, unusual parentage (white/black Muslim/Atheist), religion (Muslim? Atheist? or Black Liberation Theology?), shadowy associations with domestic terrorists and other criminal "friends" and his finances public (where is all this money coming from-hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions) and private (sweetheart deals/loans for his home) have been totally and negligently uninvestigated and ignored by those who have the means and mission to do so, namely the media who is the supposed watchdog. I wrote in another blog that conservatives, especially blogging ones, may be come enemies of the state on 11/5. All these caution flags, questions, concerns and objections have been ignored, shunted aside, belittled and pooh poohed. God help us if he is elected.

No doubt the media made damn sure everyone knew about that.
I bet that the media sweeps this Biden moment under the rug.

"IF Sen. Barack Obama is elected president, our republic will survive, but our international strategy and some of our allies may not. His first year in office would conjure globe-spanning challenges as our enemies piled on to exploit his weakness.
Add in Sen. Joe Biden - with his track record of calling every major foreign-policy crisis wrong for 35 years - as vice president and de facto secretary of State, and we'd face a formula for strategic disaster. "

Winnie the Pooh, NSA
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 12:38 ET by UnsaneRemember: One of Obama's campaign advisors thinks that the United States' foreign policy should take cues from Winnie the Pooh.
Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief. Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.
the truth
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 13:07 ET by dark_dsObama will be tested, my gut tells me that our enemies are laying low untill after the election ... they know full well that any military crisis helps Obama and they dont want Mc Cain .. the Russians actually saw that they misstimed the excursion into Georgia .....Terrorists know fullwell that they must wait untill after the election .. perhaps that is why GW is stepping up attacks within Pakistan to knock down the threat .. who knows

Terrorists beware!!!
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:04 ET by pocomocoMe thinks this is Biden’s version of a pre-emptive strike to anyone considering hitting the U.S. if ‘The One’ is elected.
Good thinking Joe!
I feel much safer now.
Obiden led attack

PALIN/McCain 2008
Ask the candidate a question------
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:07 ET by Roscoe MendagoFor life of me why doesn't someone from one of the few news outlets, not in the tank for Obama/Biden, ask the real questions? Shouldn't there be questions about who is going to attack, and why the attack, who's fault will it be? Biden doesn't know, but he's onto something. Obama is juicy, a lot like pres. Kennedy, he will be taken advantage of early on.
What needs to be done, is whatever news agency that wants to give up their seat on the campaign plane, just shout out some choice queries, do their best to embarrass the selected candidate, Obama/Biden, Axlerod, whoever. Don't use your top correspondent, bring someone in to just ask the pertinent questions, then send them home on commercial. There's got to be a way to commit a candidate to give some answers, especially if you're not a republican.
Doesnt this sound
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:48 ET by play21cwDoesnt this sound familiar?
Biden is saying yes we WILL have a crisis, and remember that i said it. So now when it happens (if Obam becomes Pres) Biden/Obama can come out and say, "we warned you, it will get better, we are in hard times"
This makes me think that they are preparing us for the crisis/events that will convert this country into a communist state. we will experience bad times, and Obama will enact more spending and regulations until he controls everything. This crisis will create a situation where the American people will want to do anything to relieve the crisis, and that means Obama gets away with anything and everything he wants.
This is scary. He's promised redistribution of wealth & now a possible civil war or uprising?
Biden was warning Americans not to vote for Obama
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 16:37 ET by Lame CherryThere has been a number of major Democrats from Jesse Jackson warning Jews, Hillary meeting with John McCain and now Biden warning the American left not to vote for Barack Obama. That is what is behind Biden's public statement.
To review what I have posted on my blog and often enough here, I will lay out 2009 for everyone.
Sol Sanders the brilliant economic strategist stated that Russia REQUIRES OIL AT 90 DOLLARS A BARREL to remain solvent.
This reflects the massive nuclear program and the spending on welfare programs.
Oil is now closing to 70 bucks a barrel soon. That means a major implosion in Russia.
The Middle East Islamocommunists and my favorite fascists in Saud Arabia need oil to remain high, but the financiers deliberately tanked oil prices to bring Russia to her knees and to kick Iran in the date sack.
Iran can not afford to feed itself, tax itself and to spend money on nuclear programs.
The entire Middle East has had Russians and central Europeans stoking it for a war. Hamas and Hezbollah have more bombs and bullets than people now.
Brzezinski has initiated his Caspain gambit to draw Russia south along with China into that basin and out of central Europe for a fight.
Already Iraq is stoking up in 2009 for violence as America pulls back. Afghanistan is stoking.
Look people I warned everyone 2 years ago that Democrats took off the table, diplomacy and conventional warfare. All that is left is nuclear strikes.
Obama knows all of this and has stated it. You can't jdam Pakistan's Pushtan. That is why the father of the neutron bomb said to nuke it.
America does not have servicable neutrons, so all Obama has left are dust cloud nukes. Dust clouds mean cobalt and uranium with residual affects to kill terrorists.
They also mean China will have a major nuclear problem for their citizens which is exactly what Brzezinski wants for China to implode.
Dust clouds also mean you American Democrats are going to be having radioactive dust clouds on your heads giving you cancer thanks to Obama.
I will give Democrats for Obama another promise which Joe Biden did not warn of. The Persian Islamocommunists have been training on the Caspian Sea for the past year with multi stage re entry explosions. In layman's terms, the Persians are practicing sea launched multiple head nuclear warheads to detonate over land targets at the appropriate concussion level.
My warnings have also included that American cities which the Persians are practicing this for do not fit the Hiroshima mountain bowl and that a dual concussion will be utilized of two atomic bombs detonated and thereby slapping off each other to achieve the blow of a nuclear strike of effect.
One must use what nukes have and that is heat which generates pressure. That is what a nuke kills by first. 2 nukes mean 2 nuclear mountains slapping each other for force and the concussion pulverizing the main target of New York City as payback for Obama's strikes which Biden is warning people about.
I have warned these Letterman cocktail crowd patricians what they are attempting to install Obama in is sealing their own death warrant.
I will remind people who read my blogs and posts here I POSTED THIS months and over a year ago about this coming attack and Biden just alerted all of you to what I was given in God's Grace.
If Conservatives can get John McCain to listen which I believe he will with Gov. Palin, the way the very fine Dick Cheney has been trying to stop all this for years now, then America is not going to be facing this.
You install Obama and you people are going to rue the day you p*ssed this one up because once it starts the big bombs will follow all across Eurasia and into America a few years after the Obama bomb goes of in the Middle East.

Mon, 10/20/2008 - 17:03 ET by smoto66What Joe is saying after getting our first national security briefing we will probably have to continue Bushes policies and we dont want you protesting and crying .Much like after the 06 election promises that dems still havent made good on! All the b/s they have used to gather their base and regain power is about hit the fan. much like tax cuts wont help the economy but yet pelosi wants to issue a third round as soon as possible cause it looks like the dems will win total control of the government and cant blame Bush if things get worse. In 2001 a muffler wasnt going o help but in 2008 it the way to go?

In two weeks, America will test the world by probably electing a pacifist weakling left wing radical as president.

Biden gaffes again!
Mon, 10/20/2008 - 21:49 ET by semolina_filcherWhen Obama bin Biden takes over, somewhere down the road, a fabricated "international crisis" will take place, a la "Wag the Dog". This will presumably be a test for the presidency of the Kenyan-Indonesian, to see how he will react. Such scenario may take place in the South Ossetia region again or in NoKor where Dear Leader may feel being left out again and obligated to "act up". Then the devious MSM will reports as to testing the mettle of the 'Steel Spined" Obama, that the One will be able to handle such crises and that it will serve as an indictment as to how his "presidency" will be defined. Don't be fooled folks, anything this administration will do will be wrong for America.
