In a speech on Sunday, Joe Biden told supporters to expect a major international crisis within the first six months of Obama's administration, and tells them to expect that unpopular decisions will have to be made that will be right in the long run.  He said he can "give at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate", and talked about the Middle East, Russia, and a Pakistan "bristling with nuclear weapons".  This when his running mate has several times talked about taking military action against Pakistan.

The same day, Colin Powell announces his endorsement of Obama.  Powell, who was so instrumental in selling an unpopular war against Iraq... any bets on whether he might become Obama's Secretary of State, to help sell whatever new agenda is in the pipeline?

Here's a neat bit of "logic" from Biden's speech:


Hmmm, so popular decisions are not sound, and sound decisions aren't popular... sounds like "we know what's good for you, get ready to take your medicine".  He also talks about how decisions will be made that are sure to cause low ratings in the polls a year from now.  This sounds to me like they've already got things planned out, and they know they won't have the support of "we the people", while making the assumption that the populace would not support the decisions they feel are "sound" and necessary.  Does this sound like democratic representation to you?  Just what are they planning this time around??
