Joe Biden Looked Slobodan Milosevic in the eye and called him a “damn war criminal.”
Not only has Obama’s Vice Presidential running mate Joe Biden actually met with foreign heads of state, he has looked one of the worst in modern history in the eyes and called him a “Damn war criminal.” The video below was taken with my wife’s cell phone when Biden was in town last week. We just caught the end of the story. The excerpt of the Time Magazine story below also outlines the story.
Of course, General Wesley Clark, as the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces subsequently dismantled Milosevic and Yugoslavia, bringing him up on charges as a war criminal. The only thing that got in the way was Milo’s heart, which gave out for good on him before he could be found guilty.
I do not know about you, but I am very comfortable with Joe Biden being one heartbeat away from the presidency.

Year after year, he has been at the forefront of the fight for judges who respect the fundamental rights and liberties of the American people; college tuition that is affordable for all; equal pay for women and a rising minimum wage for all; and family leave policies that value work and family. Those are the priorities of a man whose work reflects his life and his values.That same strength of character is at the core of his rise to become one of America’s leading voices on national security.
He looked Slobodan Milosevic in the eye and called him a war criminal, and then helped shape policies that would end the killing in the Balkans and bring him to justice. He passed laws to lock down chemical weapons, and led the push to bring Europe’s newest democracies into NATO. Over the last eight years, he has been a powerful critic of the catastrophic Bush-McCain foreign policy, and a voice for a new direction that takes the fight to the terrorists and ends the war in Iraq responsibly. He recently went to Georgia, where he met quietly with the President and came back with a call for aid and a tough message for Russia.
Joe Biden is what so many others pretend to be – a statesman with sound judgment who doesn’t have to hide behind bluster to keep America strong.

This is a blog about the hogwash that enters lives on a daily, hourly, second by second basis. For instance, as most of us have seen over the last eight years or so, every sound that pours out of George W. Bush’s mouth is hogwash. No, this is not another “bash W. blog.” I just could not think of a better example of metaphorical hogwash. So, be prepared. Whether it is religion, politics, sports, technology, or your mother’s dirty laundry, it’s all Hogwash.
