Biden: Bush administration is like Nixon's 'without the competence'

The CIA and the Department of Justice have both announced they intend to investigate the CIA's destruction in 2005 of al Qaeda interrogation tapes. The White House says that it will not comment on the matter while the internal investigation is underway and has directed press secretary Dana Perino not to answer questions about it.

However, presidential candidate Joe Biden indicated on Sunday that this sort of self-examination would be unacceptable.

"Let me put it this way," Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "Rhetorical question -- anything this Attorney Generals' offices have done since this guy's become president that you're going to take on face value? Not me. (Laughs) Not me."Biden emphasized that current Attorney General Mukasey "is the same guy who couldn't decide whether waterboarding was torture."

Biden referred as well to the new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, quoting Defense Secretary Gates as saying that US policy on Iran "has annoyed our friends and caused confusion for our allies."Biden's summary of US foreign policy was that "this is a Nixon administration without the competence."

Especially when a lot the people using this arguement fucking advocated for a lot of this shit. It's just another avenue the strategic class in party like to take against the war so they really don't have to come out against it. Not to mention anything else.

If the what the BA has accompliched over the years can be deemed as "incompetent" what does that say about the folks that went along with it. Bush and his cronies WANTED THIS WAR years before they got into office. It has absolutely fucing nothing to do with competence.

They put the horsey show guy as head of FEMA with purpose.

They've made Medicare unmanigable WITH PURPOSE.

They are borrowing for SS WITH PURPOSE.

These are the ends this administration wanted from the beginning.

too funny..

Oh well, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

If you can't guage what you're up against in a campaign or policy wise you wind up like John kerry and Michael Dukakis.

What the Republicans have been up to over the years has nothing to do with incompetence. In terms of fucking up social programs they are very good at it. In terms of sucking us into useless wars in the Middle East they are fucking excellent at it.
