BIDEN IS WRONG ON THE EPICENTER

• Voted against the Gulf war in 1991 to liberate Kuwait

• Voted against “the surge” in Iraq in 2007 to defeat the Jihadists

• Opposes “regime change” in Iran. [“Instead of regime change, we need to focus on conduct change.” -- speech on Iran at the Iowa City Public Library on December 3, 2007]

• Believes in direct negotiations with Ahmadinejad

• Voted against a bill to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a “terrorist” organization

• Strongly opposes taking preemptive military action to neutralize Iran’s nuclear weapons threat and has threatened to impeach President Bush if he bombs Iran

• Does not see Ahmadinejad’s End Times theology as a serious problem. [“My concern is not that a nuclear Iran some day would be moved by messianic fervor to use a nuclear weapon as an Armageddon device and commit national suicide in order to hasten the return of the Hidden Imam. My worry is that the fear of a nuclear Iran could spark an arms race in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, and others joining in.” -- speech on Iran at the Iowa City Public Library on December 3, 2007]
