Testing the Untested: Biden Was Right???

Is it possible? Have all the planets aligned themselves in some obscure unique formation? Has the impossible become possible? Can it truly be? Can Biden have been right?

He gaffes; we all laugh. His colleagues, his Party, even his boss, the President of the United States, usually just smile, and brush off the far too common embarrassing comments of the Vice President, Joe Biden, and say "Ah, that's just good ole Joe!". I mean, it even happened last week. In case you ever wanted to know where the Secret Service would usher the Veep in case of a national calamity that threatened the safety and security of this nation, just ask Biden, and if you aren't that close to the Veep, Google it. He happened to mention it at a gathering for the press last week.

But the comments we laugh at aren't all as crazy as we might think.

I know that sounds weird coming from a Republican like me, but, a comment that "good ole Joe" made during the campaign, actually late in the campaign, is looking pretty darn accurate; and at our peril. So, listen up Dems.


In October, just before the election, Biden said:

"Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barak Obama."

Wow! Here we are, slowly closing in on that six month benchmark, and where are we on the international front?



Let's just look at today's events. A nuclear weapon tested in North Korea with the force comparable to Hiroshima. Shortly after that, Iran, who by the way has clearly said recently that the time to discuss their nuclear ambitions is over ( but willing to debate the President at the UN) sent their naval fleet in motion. In fact, it was a unprecedented maneuver and did more than raise eyebrows.

That is just today's news, let alone the upcoming elections in Lebanon, the home-grown terrorist plot in New York, the Taliban turning away from the afghan border and to fight the nuclear country of Pakistan, and the President pressuring Israel to negotiate with Hamas.

Evildoers are on the move. Nations who feared President Bush and his resolve, feel revitalized. Those who understood this country's commitment to freedom and liberty, now doubt it. Naivety swallows us whole and tyranny is strengthened.

Unfortunately, seems like good ole Joe's gaffe on the campaign trail wasn't such folly. Nations are testing Obama. And they are just warming up. This is the pre-game. How will the President respond?
