Name:JM
City: State:
BIDEN ON IRAN "Iran is not a nuclear threat to the United States of America." (VOTED NO on the Iran Missile Proliferation Sanctions Act and NO on the Kyl-Lieberman resolution to add Revolutionary Guards to terror list).
OBAMA ON IRAN "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny...They don`t pose a serious threat to us" "We don`t need to be fearful of the rantings of somebody like Ahmadinejad." (VOTED NO on Kyl-Lieberman).
BIDEN ON TERROR - "America needs to show the Arab world that we’re not bent on its destruction." "Al Qaeda must be destroyed. But to compare terrorism with an all-encompassing ideology like communism and fascism is evidence of profound confusion."
OBAMA ON TERROR "is not...unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity...it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair" [Our enemy is not] "just terrorists, it`s not just Hezbollah, it`s not just Hamas, it`s also cynicism"
