Biden Bullish on National Crises

Yesterday, Senator Obama's running mate, Senator Joseph Biden said:
Mark my words, within the next -- first six months of this administration, if we win, they're going to -- we're going to face a major international challenge, 'cause they're going to want to test him, just like they did John Kennedy, they're going to want to test him, and they're going to find out this guy's got steel in his spine.
Listen to the actual sound clip. Pretty reassuring, eh?

Senator Biden is promising the American voters international crises within six months of Senator Obama's becoming the President of the United States.

I have a few observations that I would like to make.
  1. Apparently, Senator Biden knows that trouble is coming our way if Senator Obama wins on November 4th.
  2. He doesn't say that the world is going to test Senator McCain if he becomes our President.
  3. Senator Biden must know that these trouble makers around the world believe McCain is not someone to mess around with.
  4. Senator Biden cannot say the same thing about Senator Obama.
  5. Those who are seriously tempted to vote for Senator Obama because they are tired of the US being involved in military conflict are going to find the US and our allies in a much more dangerous position because the trouble makers are going to create all kinds of trouble for us.
  6. Threatening to use our military ONLY works if the trouble makers believe that the President is willing to use the military.
  7. If Senator Obama does the next President, we probably are going to a) use military force a lot more than his supporters imagined and b) we are going to sustain much greater losses than they imagined as well.
  8. Senator McCain has seen what horrors come as the result of war FIRST HAND. He knows better than almost anyone that war is costly and will enter it only as a last resort.
I really think Senator Biden is pleading with us to vote for Senator McCain on November 4th.
