Biden: The Two-Faced "Prince?"


Obviously, folks, this latest posting is a companion piece of sorts to yesterday's posting (found below) "Obama: The Man Who Would Be King?"

First the video (Hat tip to Drudge).

Next... the context:

Presidential hopeful Delaware Sen. Joe Biden stated unequivocally that he will move to impeach President Bush if he bombs Iran without first gaining congressional approval.

* AS REPORTED ON NOVEMBER 29, 2007

Biden spoke in front of a crowd of approximately 100 at a candidate forum held Thursday at Seacoast Media Group. The forum focused on the Iraq war and foreign policy. When an audience member expressed fear of a war with Iran, Biden said he does not typically engage in threats, but had no qualms about issuing a direct warning to the Oval Office.

"The president has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran, and if he does, as Foreign Relations Committee chairman, I will move to impeach," said Biden, whose words were followed by a raucous applause from the local audience.

* NO AUTHORITY... NONE... ZILCH... ZIPPO. THAT WAS BIDEN'S POSITION BACK THEN WHEN BUSH WAS PRESIDENT AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IRAN, NOT LIBYA.

* FOLKS... THE CONCEPT IS THE SAME. THERE'S NO DEBATE. BIDEN SHOULD RESIGN AND CALL UPON CONGRESS TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT OBAMA. (OBVIOUSLY HE WON'T... BUT I'M TALKING PRINCIPLES... ETHICS... BASIC INTELLECTUAL CONSISTENCY...)

Biden said he is in the process of meeting with constitutional law experts to prepare a legal memorandum saying as much and intends to send it to the president.

* I'M GONNA SEE IF I CAN DIG UP THAT MEMO!
