The burning of the Branch Davidian's in Waco, Texas...remember?

Speaking in Seattle on Sunday, Biden said he could guarantee that the world will want to find out if Obama is up to the job, which he assured voters he is.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking," Biden said.

"Remember I said it standing here. if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's gonna have to make some really tough -- I don't know what the decision's gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's gonna happen," Biden continued.

The Delaware senator's remarks were the second of their kind over the weekend. At a fundraiser in San Francisco, Biden said Obama's challengers will "find out this guy's got steel in his spine" when he is tested...

a promise of peace?

"Say it ain't so, Joe!"

I thought the projected new administration was to bring in a new age of peace, prosperity, and world understanding?

Biden tells Israel to get used to the idea of a nuclear Iran...now he tells us to get ready for some major world wide traumatic event that is going to test the mettle of Obama...

Reminds one of how Clinton was tested within his first six months by the dreaded "Branch Davidian's" in Waco, Texas. He had to be so strong...so they were all burned to death...women, children, all except a precious few that were able to excape...and we didn't all agree, but we stood by him...
