Joe Biden: Bush’s Comments Are “Bullshit”

Joe Biden, my personal hero even before today, got a little dirty this morning after hearing President Bush’s comments from earlier. You know, the comments suggesting not only that we are smack dab in the middle of World War Three (as usual), but also that Obama and other ‘diplomacy-types’ are just like Nazi appeasers.

So Biden says:

“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,”

“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has.

His intelligence community pointed that out not me. The NIE has pointed that out and what are you talking about, is he going to fire Condi Rice? Condi Rice has talked about the need to sit down. So his first two appeasers are Rice and Gates. I hope he comes home and does something.”

Snap.

And before people go dismissing this rant as simply a partisan “Bush is at fault for EVERYTHING” moment, remember that Joe Biden is a pro. He’s the Senate’s premiere foreign policy expert, and if the American people admired brains more than they admired beauty, he’d already be president.

But instead, he’s just a badass.

It’s Biden. Unless he’s planning the biggest bait and switch this century,...

How About We Play Global Thermonuclear War?

So goes the menacing question from Joshua, the evil computer that means well from the 1983 classic “War Games.” Joshua’s problem was that he didn’t know there are some games that no one can win, such as Tic-Tac-Toe and, oh, Global Thermonuclear War — you know, no one wins because we all die.

But Joshua learned his lesson in the end and humanity was saved. Will we be able to say the same for Russian megalomaniac Vladimir Putin, who threatened this week to point his nukes at all of Russia’s former states, all because the US (and others) want to start implementing a missile shield in them?

For the record, a missile shield is a means of peace, and nothing more. It specifically exists to stop Putin or a rogue maniac from firing hundreds of missiles into Europe. Putin takes offense at this because… well, I guess he had plans for that sort of thing in the future?
