Joe Biden Talks About 9/11

I hadn't seen this before -- it was at Dartmouth. The sound sucks and I had to really listen to it closely to understand what he was saying, but here it is if you haven't seen it. (Watch -- I'll find out that Pirhana or tsegat posted this the other day and I missed it.)

1. Nope, not me

I hadn't seen it before. It is a shame the sound is so poor and he is very effective, but then he usually is.

2. Not me - too bad the sound is so bad.

I would have loved to hear what he was saying.

3. Did you guys ever read his speech on 9/10/2001

very chilling.

I believe he was talking to the National Press Club:
Sure, we'll do all we can to defend ourselves against any threat, nobody denies that, but even the Joint Chiefs says that a strategic nuclear attack is less likely than a regional conflict, a major theater war, terrorist attacks at home or abroad, or any number of other real issues. We'll have diverted all that money to address the least likely threat, while the real threat comes to this country in the hold of a ship, the belly of a plane, or smuggled into a city in the middle of the night in a vial in a backpack.

you can read the whole speech if you want at:

I did post this in GD about 2 months ago.
It was a hot thread - Maybe we should post it again as it gets closer to the primaries. ;)
