Joe Biden: Running On Empty, Promises To Impeach Bush

Speaking before a political forum in New Hampshire, Presidential Candidate Senator Joe Biden told the small audience that he would move to have President Bush impeached if his administration "bombed" Iran without first getting permission from Congress.

"The president has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran, and if he does, as Foreign Relations Committee chairman, I will move to impeach," said Biden, whose words were followed by a raucous applause from the local audience.

Biden said he is in the process of meeting with constitutional law experts to prepare a legal memorandum saying as much and intends to send it to the president. [1]

Meanwhile in Germany:

BERLIN: An Iranian businessman suspected of exporting to Iran material that could be used in military nuclear projects has been arrested in Germany, the weekly Der Spiegel reported.

Police picked up the man identified as Mohsen V, 48, on Tuesday in Frankfurt on an arrest warrant issued by Germany's highest federal court, the magazine said in its Monday edition.

The magazine said the man "illegally delivered" to Iran "American pumps and special Russian cameras" used in nuclear research.

It also said that he had been negotiating "for some time now" with a manufacturer in the south-central German city of Mannheim to deliver certain measuring instruments used in nuclear work.

The suspect's business partners were also arrested, Der Spiegel said. [2]

Biden went on to make more remarks about the Bush-Iran situation, this time referring to Vice President Cheney.

"If you're going to impeach George Bush, you better impeach (Vice President Dick) Cheney first," said Biden, again drawing applause.

Biden said the best deterrent to prevent pre-emptive military action in Iran is to make it clear, even if it is at the end of his final term, action will be taken against Bush to ensure "his legacy will be marred for all time." [1]

Biden could had found other issues to pound the President with but instead chose to flex his Senatorial muscles prancing about promising impeachment. Biden would impeach the President if Bush bombed Iran. No warning to Iran. Just a threat to our President. A threat to tie the President hands over a country that has promised to destroy Israel. What part of "destroy" or demolish" does Biden not understand? Iran most certainly understood Biden's message.

Biden, in his quest to get elected undermined the President by effectly giving Iran the crowbar to pry the lid off Pandora's Box.

Pandering for votes, promising to impeach Bush. Makes one wish Biden would go back to plagiarizing.

Iran Military Site Rocked By Explosions

[hat tip: mjazzguitar at Little Green Footballs]
The Foreign Affairs Committee Of The National Council Of Resistance Of Iran is reporting a story out of Iran that the "clerical regime is trying very to hard to prevent the news of the incident to leak."

NCRI - Yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, November 13) a series of explosions rocked Parchin Military Site (where missiles, including Cruise missiles, are manufactured) in southern Tehran. As a result, several military personnel of the site were injured.

The explosions reportedly started in missile industries section of the Site. When shrapnel of the explosions hit another sections, eight other warehouses located next to each other were engulfed in flames.

An interesting tidbit on the Parchin site:

The huge site is organized into 11 different projects for production of various weapons and munitions. Projects 4 and 11 are devoted to production of Cruise missiles; projects 1, 2 and 8 are devoted to chemical weapons production.

Parts of the Parchin site are devoted to conducting research on uranium enrichment using laser technology.

No word yet if the explosions were a result of the "ongoing" Zionist Conspiracy.

W.M.D. in Iran? U.S.A.Take Action? M.D. in N.Y.T. Writes About E.D.C.? Q.E.D. To the Max

This is getting to be too much like the synapses of a lab rat clicking. Mo Dowd needs to come up with a column idea, Evil Dick Cheney is the subject, then we respond to it. Our keyboard and Dowd's both need a Pavlovian drool shield.

The latest on Evil Dick Cheney, related as Dowd channels the spirit of Scarlett O'Hara, gazing skyward and breathlessly intoning "tomorrow is another day", in the New York Times:

RUSSERT: First you threatened to take action if Iran built a nuclear weapon. Now you’re threatening to take action if Iran knows how to build a nuclear weapon. What’s next? You threaten to take action if Ahmadinejad dresses up as a nuclear weapon for Halloween?

CHENEY: Well, the difficulty here is, each time he has rejected what he was called upon to do by the international community. I’m not sure now, no matter what he says, that anyone would believe him. He’s pretending he doesn’t have W.M.D., just like Saddam.

And then the big finish.

RUSSERT: It’s so close to the next election, Mr. Vice President, shouldn’t you just keep on the diplomatic track and let the next president make this decision?

CHENEY: You really want Rudy Giuliani playing with the nuclear button, Tim? Now, that’s insane.

The above excerpt is representative of the whole. Evil Dick Cheney and his Malicious Minions are beating on the war drums and dancing madly around a campfire somewhere in Washington. All the while, poor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is off giving nuclear alms to widows.

And in New York, Mo Dowd is thinking, "Doesn't anyone realize the danger? I must warn them! Quick Lassie! Go get Timmy!" This episode's Guest Star: Rudy Giuliani as "The Nuclear Madman"!

Nuclear Arms in Iran? The U.S. Take Action? Maureen takes on Evil Dick Cheney?

Q.E.D. to the max.
