How does this quote from Biden's Convention speech relate to the Iraq War?

Question

"And when I got -- when I got knocked down by guys bigger than me -- and this is the God's truth -- she sent me back out and said, "Bloody their nose so you can walk down the street the next day." And that's what I did."

Answer 1

the iraq war is illegal and was started by the bush  for his family to gain more oil reserves and then sell it back to the american people  

Answer 2

I interpret it as "Nuke Iran", maybe Joe's not so bad afterall...

Answer 3

It had nothing to do with the invasion/occupation of Iraq.

It is better to lead by the power of example. Not the example of our power.

I did notice. It was not in the context of Iraq however. It was said in the context of his childhood and life experience that got him to this place.

Answer 4

it doesnt surprise me that obama picked another corrupt politician as his running mate

the more corrupt people in his office the easier to carry out his plan of destruction

About Biden:

Biden has described himself as a 30-year friend of a key figure in the Rezko trial who’s pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge in Chicago and is awaiting sentencing.

When the Delaware senator began contemplating his own 2008 presidential run, he initially was helped by Chicago lawyer Joseph Cari Jr., who also served as Biden’s Midwest field director in his failed 1988 bid for president.

In 2005, Cari admitted to taking part in an $850,000 kickback scheme that prosecutors say was part of a larger political fund-raising operation for Gov. Blagojevich

lol i like the empty rhetoric  wanderer

Answer 5

LMAO I just posted this exact question!  For those who knocked down the tallest buildings in Manhattan, shouldn't we bloody their proverbial nose?  Or how about the big bad Saddam who knocked down his own people for years...well Biden's mom says they should get up and bloody his nose - so the US did it.  

Answer 6

Biden like McCain and Clinton voted for the Iraq war resolution.  

Answer 7

It doesn't.  He wasn't speaking about the Iraq war at the time.  He was talking about how his mother taught him to stand up for himself.

Answer 8

Funny listening to one of the most liberal senators (2nd only to Obama) talk about taking a punch and staying in the fight until the fight is won.  As if today's modern democrat knows anything about winning a fight, much less a war.  

Answer 9

He has fake hair.....................

Answer 10

doesn't matter....

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who served as the chief prosecutor of the major n**i war criminals, called starting a war without cause the "supreme war crime" because all other war crimes flow from it.

Under the United Nations Charter, which is a binding international treaty ratified by the United States, it is illegal to attack another nation except: 1) when authorized by the Security Council; or 2) when necessary for self-defense and then only for as long as necessary to get the matter to the Security Council.

The Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1441 that found Iraq in material breach of prior resolutions and warned of "severe consequences" if Iraq didn't conform. But that resolution also explicitly stated that the Security Council remained seized of the issue and the United States assured the other members that Resolution 1441 did not authorize it to attack Iraq; the U.S. would have to return to the Security Council for another resolution before it could attack Iraq. In early 2003, the United States did return to the Security Council with a resolution authorizing an attack on Iraq. When it became clear that the proposed resolution could not muster a majority, the United States withdrew the resolution and attacked Iraq anyway. There is no crime more serious than illegally starting a war.

Answer 11

To paraphrase, don't take a beating without fighting back.  Which means he support Bush's policy of fighting back against terrorism.

Answer 12

he was talking about what his mother told him when he was younger it has nothing to do with iraq. didnt you watch the whole speech?

Answer 13

Biden, is simply a want to be, and he is nothing.

Answer 14

That's just what his mother told him to do. In reality he went back outside and immediately surrendered to the bullies, then voluntarily handed over his lunch money.

Answer 15

If you think Iraq is bigger than we are you have a problem. We are the bullies.

Answer 16

Iraq did NOT attack us.  So it seems the US is being a bully and we should expect those Iraqis to continue to bloody our nose.

Answer 17

That he's trying to sound tough enough for Middle America without alienating the far left wing of the Democrat Party.
