BIDEN: OBAMA WILL BE TESTED BY 'INTERNATIONAL CRISIS' INFIRST 6 MONTHS...

AUDIO...

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by aninternational crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six monthsbefore 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 theUnited 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 andRussia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him- we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially,it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

They didnt "test" Kennedy, he was just ******ed. Bay of Pigs happened under his watch, almost got the country blown away.


But I wouldnt compare Kennedy and Obama in that way. Both were young, smart, and great speakers.

Not this time. People should really mark his words. And people are crackin' jokes as if Barack is gonna be behind an attack. But I seriouslybelieve that something is gonna be stirred up in the background to test him. And what worries me more is that if he does good the first time, they'll tryagain.

***it's being talked about on CNN as I type***

Colin Powell looked at the polls and openly applied for a job.

"Colin Powell looked at the polls and openly applied for a job. "

Colin Powell is a war criminal who is trying to save his rear.

Who isn't a "war criminal"? Is there a really "right" way to fight a war?

What in the hell are you talking about?

Well making up stuff to a country that has never done anything to jeopardize the safety of the united states than scaring the american public to let the warfly seems like the wrong way.

At least the man APOLOGIZED to the American public. He knew he was wrong and admitted it.

Do you feel responsible for giving the U.N. flawed intelligence?
I didn't know it was flawed. Everybody was using it. The CIA was saying the same thing for two years. I gave perhaps the most accurate presentation of the intelligence as we knew it-without any of the "Mushroom clouds are going to show up tomorrow morning" and all the rest of that stuff. But the fact of the matter is that a good part of it was wrong, and I am sorry that it was wrong.

Was it twisted?

Not by me. What I used was the intelligence that was also available to everyone in the administration and to the Congress. Some of these senators are now presidential candidates who are saying they didn't read the National Intelligence Estimate they had asked for. It is fair, however, to say that some members of the administration took the intelligence to a higher plane than it deserved.

You've met with Barack Obama a couple of times and given him advice. Is it possible that you will support him?
I will give advice to any of the principal candidates. I've met with others, including John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Barack called me and came by, and we had a long talk. Right before he decided to run, we talked again about the presidency and the type of decisions and problems that come in the middle of the night. I think he's a very impressive man, I think he's very smart, and I think he's going to be a formidable candidate.

Do you think he'd be a good president?
I don't want to start saying who would be a good president and who wouldn't. I will say that I don't see any among the major candidates who I think is unqualified to be president.

Would you be tempted to support Obama, even though he's a Democrat, because he would be transformational?
He is transformational because he is a black man who has become one of the leading candidates of a major party. That is exciting. It's transformational. But am I going to support him? I am going to be for who I think is the best person. Not the best Republican, not the best Democrat, not the best black guy or the best woman. I'm going to try to figure out who could best serve this country. And that's who I will be voting for.

You did not say that you would be inclined to support the Republican candidate.
That's right. I did not. Because I've been voting now for almost fifty years, and I've always supported the person I thought was best. I've voted Democratic, I've voted Republican. I'm going to vote for the best person.

Swing and a miss... the whole race card thing is a bit played out in this election wouldn't you say... because there are twice as many peoplein this country voting/siding with McCain because he white than there are siding with Obama cause he's black. That's just a simple fact.

To be honest I am surprised people would think McCain would be a better President under the current circumstances...

So if Hitler apologized we would let him off? This is not a case of jacking up a gas station or something, dude is responsible for over 4,000 dead soldiersthat died for NO REASON what so ever, along with a million or so dead Iraq's. Dude easily could have spoken up back in 2003, but he was essential ingetting this war going, its not like he was watching on the side lines. Dude was on Tv everyday in 2003 telling us how dangerous Iraq was.

I'm not going to debate with you, we can go all day. Fact of the matter is that Colin Powell didnt wake up one morning and decide to make up a story aboutIraq. Colin Powell made a decision based upon CIA intelligence that was collected over time, was it "found" to be untrue? Yes.

I can guarantee if this war ended within a couple of months even without finding WMDs, the opinion of the people of the US would be totally different.

I mean you say things like that as if Saddam Hussein was innocent and wasn't one himself.

WOW @ some of the stuff said in here

Are you seriously comparing Colin Powell to Hilter? Powell's job as Secretary of State was to gather support for the Iraq war with the UnitedNations. Powell took an oath and served his country. Intelligence analysts from the FBI to the CIA concluded what they concluded from 2002 to 2003 andeveryone went with it including prominent Democrats Biden, Hillary Clinton and a large percentage of Democrats. Also a good majority of Americans back in 2003supported the President's decision to go to war.

And FYI Powell did speak up in 2004 by his decision to resign his position as Sec of State. From 2002 and 2003, no one knew the intelligence was faulty. NotBiden, Not Hillary Clinton, not the media, NO ONE. No one knew until we had boots securing areas that were suppose to have WMDs. When information wasrelayed back to Washington, that's when everyone started questioning the President's decision and the intelligence provided to them. Clinton, Bidenand several Democrats spoke up after they found out the facts. That's the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. After the fact,Republicans still turned a blind eye and supported the President while Democrats began investigating and voicing what the real reasons were for the war.

So if you want to label Colin Powell a war criminal then you best label Biden, Clinton, and a majority of Congress as war criminals too since they all gaveBush the authority to declare war.

Thought I'de never see the day SunDOOBIE and Fede DPT agree on the same thing. Good show.
