I’ll try and post more thoughts on the Harkin Steak Fry as we go through the day. But first let me start off with a candidate who I’ve criticized before quite often: Senator Joe Biden of Delaware.
Biden gave the last speech of the day at the Steak Fry, a somber one about the realities of the war in Iraq and the way the issue dominates our policy in America and limits our ability to make progress in other areas. Just as Biden began to speak, clouds came in and covered the sun seemingly as if called on by Biden to show the seriousness with which he spoke.
You can click here to go to JoeBiden.com and read the full text of his remarks as prepared. However, there is one section I want to highlight to you:
“You know – in Iraq – the military refers to those who’ve been killed in action – as fallen angels.
How many more angels must fall – before this war ends?”
When my brother gets to Iraq, I will pray that he will not become a fallen angel every day until he returns home safely.
And you can watch the video of Biden’s speech below. The bit about “fallen angels” comes in at about 4:40.
Critical of Joe Biden? This is the only candidate that can step into the Presidency and deal with the most pressing problem our World faces.
He will get my support - full out.
