$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'B')iden and Powell are the biggest guns the BO campaign has to get its message out... the BO campaign has them both putting out this same message at the same time for a reason.

[Jester]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Bas', 'I') let a friend hear this just now, and he suggested that Powell meant to say the 21st century, which seemed like a reasonable explanation to me...

[gampy]

I am thinking the crisis Biden refers to is domestic, and economic in nature.

What that may be, he probably has a better idea than me.

I think he is just being honest, really. He expects things on the economic domestic front to get worse, and is imploring supporters to realize that some serious, unpopular decisions will be made.

No more, no less, imo.

I think Powell is referring to the domestic front as well.

President Joe Biden?

[AlexdeLarge]

I'm sure Powell still has national security clearance and the connections in the intelligence community to know whats going on.

And didn't the foreign policy and security advisors from both campaigns get called in for a special briefing? "Unprecedented" was what they called it.,,,,,,,that they had intelligence that they were expecting a strike after the election, during the power vaccum.

It wasn't played up that much, so maybe its just prudent planning.

Or they anticipate Obama will face a crisis, big potential to bumble it like Carter, and will need Obama's supporter's to hang tough.

[hope_full]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Yesterday Joe Biden guaranteed that if elected Senator Barack Obama will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by with him as he makes tough and possibly unpopular decisions. Mark my words, quoting, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John F. Kennedy. Well, we know what that test was. That test was Russia and the Cuban missile crisis. That's not a small test.

[Fishman]

Or Biden in his usual mumble mouth gaffes is speaking out a little early. Assuming Obama will win he's letting Obama fans know that the world is actually a very bad place with lots of bad characters that have been held in check under Bush's "i'll kick your ass " administration. All those bad characters will see a weak and inexperienced Obama easy for the taking. Of course the Republicans will be screaming "we told you so" . Four years of Obama with his own vp already warning us of crisis ahead. Shorting the guy before he's elected! I'll be laughing my asp off for four years, better buy more popcorn.

No mystery here:

US intelligence: Iran will be able to build first nuclear bomb by February DEBKAfile Exclusive Report Oct 21, 2008, 1:37 PM (GMT+02:00):
US intelligence’s amended estimate, that Iran will be ready to build its first bomb just one month after the next US president is sworn in, is disclosed by DEBKAfile’s Washington sources as having been relayed as a guideline to the Middle East teams of both presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.

The information prompted the assertion by Democratic vice presidential nominee Joseph Biden in Seattle Sunday, Oct. 19: “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.”

DEBKAfile’s military sources cite the new US timeline: By late January, 2009, Iran will have accumulated enough low-grade enriched uranium (up to 5%) for its “break-out” to weapons grade (90%) material within a short time. For this, the Iranians have achieved the necessary technology. In February, they can move on to start building their first nuclear bomb.

US intelligence believes Tehran has the personnel, plans and diagrams for a bomb and has been running experiments to this end for the past two years. The UN International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna last week asked Tehran to clarify recent complex experiments they conducted in detonating nuclear materials for a weapon, but received no answer.

The same US evaluation adds that the Iranian leadership is holding off its go-ahead to start building the bomb until the last minute so as to ward off international pressure to stop at the red line.

This development together with the galloping global economic crisis will force the incoming US president to go straight into decision-making without pause on Day One in the Oval Office. He will have to determine which urgent measures can serve best for keeping a nuclear bomb out of the Islamic republic’s hands - diplomatic or military – and how to proceed if those measures fail.

His knowledge of the challenge colored Sen. Biden’s additional words in Seattle: “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.”

Israel’s political and military leaders also face a tough dilemma that can no longer be put off of whether to strike Iran’s nuclear installations militarily in the next three months between US presidencies before the last window closes, or take a chance on coordination with the next president.

Waiting for the “international community” to do the job of stopping Iran, as urged by governments headed by Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert - and strongly advocated Tzipi Livni, foreign minister and would-be prime minister - has been a washout. Iran stands defiantly on the threshold of a nuclear weapon. link

[natts]

Well that is weird and a bit scary, why would he say those days? More reason to start getting ready for a crisis.
Good thing I don't live in the USA?

[happychicken]

Well, I've just listened to the clip and from the inflexion in his voice it sounds to me that he meant to say "there might be a crisis" rather than "will be" i.e. any new president "might" have to deal with an unexpected crisis as soon as they are in office.

I haven't heard Biden's comments though

[ColonProwell]

As long as they test them in Iran it shouldn't bother anyone, we tested them in the ocean in the sky under water and took out lots of islands.

I'm sure they won't use them on Bali nightclubs and twin tosers, seems like others are way more irresponsible.
