This is laughable, as you've already had your butt handed to you on his actual words. All you have is your tortured view of history of past DemocratIC administrations, which neither Obama nor Biden were members of. Care to revise and extend your remarks?

Since your argument comes down to putting words into Biden's mouth based upon your one-bit mind (where the only bit of information which you seem to be able to process is "Democrats=TEH EVUL!"), then the person who needs to tone down the fantasy life is you.

My reading comes both from his words and the history of his actions versus what he says, as well as a history of the Democrat party.

The fact of the matter is, that this administration has, sadly, met all my expectations, and I thereby have no reason at all to think y reading on the matter is inaccurate.

Of course, you're welcome to make the attempt.

On the other hand, it has everything to do with you making up interpretations based upon a laughable reading of history and expecting the current Administration to act like your fantasy charactiture of prior ones of the same party. Since your argument comes down to putting words into Biden's mouth based upon your one-bit mind (where the only bit of information which you seem to be able to process is "Democrats=TEH EVUL!"), then the person who needs to tone down the fantasy life is you.

Though, what the bleep that has to do with talking to the Iranians never causing peace previously, despite dseveral Dmeocrat tries, And a lack of sufficient military force involved upon the failure of negotiations, I've no idea.

Avoid that central issue if you like; it's a semi-free country for the moment. Just don't figure on everyone not noticing.

The equivalent to your mindreading would be the next time there is a Republican Administration, and it made similar noises like these, if someone would say "Well, they say they are going to talk, but what that really mean is that they are going to manipulate intelligence in order to launch a war on false pretenses to get several thousands of our soldiers killed." I would no hesitation calling such person a loon. You clearly seem to think it is fine in the other direction.

Jesus, Bit, that's pretty gross logic-scrambling, even for you. "We want a diplomatic solution" does not entail "we will accept no other kind of solution."

And...

Only Bithead could find an article entitled "Biden: U.S. will to talk to Iran, will act if necessary" and which contains within the first 3 paragraphs lines like: "U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday said that the U.S. is willing to talk with Iran, but will act to isolate and pressure Tehran if Iran continues its current course and does not abandon its nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism."

Apparently, neither one of you has been watching history, particularly when Democrats are running the foreign policy show. Does the name Jimmy Carter ring any bells with you two? Bill Clinton? The fact of the matter is that negotiation has been tried every time a Democrat is in the White House. It never works.

As a matter of fact, I would suggest to you that Clinton attempting to negotiate with such, is precisely why we're missing a couple of buildings in southern Manhattan right now.

Oh and that european 'leader' (the german Minister for Economics and Technology ie a minor german political hack) resigned a few days after his comments.

Not very convincing arguments about how europe regards the russians.

Well the leader of one eastern european country who has been getting russian gas cheap describes the attempt by the russians to make them pay market prices as 'blackmail'.

Count me as unconvinced.......

Computing power is cheap. There's no reason to keep your old 1-bit head -- it clearly doesn't have enough power for the uses you put it to.

Well, who the hell ever said it might be?

Biden, for one. "We want a diplomatic solution'" means they'll accept none other and thereby, he's saying it's the solution.

Jesus, Bit, that's pretty gross logic-scrambling, even for you. "We want a diplomatic solution" does not entail "we will accept no other kind of solution." Aristotle up, cowboy.

So, yes, there is a "default" position: it is one based on shared Enlightenment values, something that Bush threw out the window during his reign.

Who are you and what have you done with Triumph?

Well, who the hell ever said it might be?

Biden, for one. "We want a diplomatic solution' means they'll accept none other and thereby, he's saying it's the solution.

Trouble is, of course, it's not. Nor, in the end, is it the path to a solution, as has been noted.

Tell us, Anderson...What is Biden, and for that matter, the Democrats in general, what are YOU willing to negotiate away to mollify Iran? You, for example, are willing to let them have nukes, perhaps?

Has such capitulation ever done anything but create more demands for capitulation?
