We know, as well, that he is the 99th richest senator out of 100, the 4th among senators in terms of seniority, and the 44th among senators in terms of age. He has a son who is attorney general of Delaware but still decided to deploy to Iraq, even though he likely could have gotten out of it, so the foolish idea that Biden or other Democrats who oppose the war do not "support the troops" is demonstrably nothing less than demagoguery.
But forget Iraq. Sarah Palin would now have us invading Russia. I suppose she'll lead the charge, based on the expertise she accumulated living all her life just a Bering Straight away from our once and future enemy.

Right on, Roger. The problem in America is that there are 2 Americas. And those who have been made drunk with the Bush/Cheney/ Post-9-11 Koolaid cannot embrace rational thinking. They will have to go to a de-tox center for treatment -- its clearly a mental disease that reduces us to talking about pigs wearing lipstick. The future of our country has become like a sporting event, each team desiring so much to win the game that it may cost us everything in the end. This is the "2 Americas syndrome", which, like Israel and Palistine apparently calls for a 2 State solution. This is chaos at its finest.
