Biden, foreign what?

Just a reminder as to the experienced foreign relations guy that Obama brought in. Yea, Joe Biden may not be as proficent as thought. Look at what he said about the surge. I can't believe these guys.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., the panel’s chairman, said the legislation is “not an attempt to embarrass the president. … It’s an attempt to save the president from making a significant mistake with regard to our policy in Iraq.”

…Biden, who sponsored the measure with Hagel and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the measure is aimed at getting the administration’s attention. He noted that Bush has said he will be moving forward with his Iraq plans he outlined in a Jan. 10 address regardless of what Congress says.

The measure “is designed to let the president know that there are many in both parties, Democrats and Republicans, that believe a change in our mission to go into Baghdad — in the midst of a civil war — as well as a surge in ground troops … is the wrong way to go, and I believe it will have the opposite — I repeat — opposite effect the president intends,” Biden said.

Yea, Russia has stopped in Georgia.

Looks like Russia may not be telling the whole truth when it come to the aggression against Georgia. This, Russia, shows me that we need a strong leader that will have a backbone when it comes time to make a decision. I'm all for hope and change, but maybe some good old USA cowboy diplomacy is exactly what is needed. I don't think that what Holland thinks of us is really important right now.

Russia and Georgia

We can all use the response from the candidates as to how they will lead. McCain and Obama had the chance to give us all a glimpse into their thinking. Strange that a guy from Australia has it figured out.
Side note, who do you think has our country in a higher regard?



Or this one.




We could be in big trouble soon.

Mexico invades!!!!!

This is from the Washington Times.


A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.

Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.

"Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years," union Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said on its Web page. "They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of 'Oh well, they didn't know they were in the United States.'

"It is fortunate that this incident didn't end in a very ugly gunfight," said the local's posting.

WTF??????? Why the h e double hockey sticks are we not doing something about this? We let Mexico come here and hold a border patrol at gunpoint? Looks like the North American Union is coming around quite nicely.

What happens when a dirty bomb goes off in Phoenix?
