Joe Biden's the Man on Guantanamo, Iraq and the "War on Terror"
[The Scarlet Pimpernel] And while Joe Biden -- a 65-year old working class Irish Catholic, the Senator for Delaware since 1972, and the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- has a far from unblemished foreign policy record (most notoriously in his support for the invasion of Iraq, but also, arguably, in his strenuous support for armed intervention in Kosovo, which, like that of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, paved the way for justifying war on a basis other then that of self-defense), he has since recanted his position on the Iraq war, and has, for many years, also been unafraid to tackle other excesses of the Bush administration's post-9/11 policies; in particular, through his persistent calls for the closure of the "War on Terror" prison at Guantánamo Bay.

Is Perpetual War Our Future?
[Populist Party of America] According to this alternative view, echoing a similar complaint during the Vietnam era, the shortcomings of U.S. policy in Iraq and Afghanistan have little to do with the actual performance of American forces in the field and everything to do with the meddling of bumbling civilians back in Washington. In its simplest form, fault lies not with the troops themselves, nor with their commanders, but with the likes of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, and Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, who prevented the troops from doing their jobs.

Rumors of War: Correcting the Misconceptions about Iraq
[Thus Saith the Fly] (Why Obama's adherence to the typical left-wing position of the day when he was an Illinois senator is evidence of political bravery, or singularly excellent judgment, is another question entirely.) Meanwhile, Senator McCain cites Obama's opposition to the surge, and Obama's ultimately incorrect assertions at the time that it would do nothing to stop the violence in Iraq, as evidence that the freshman Senator from Illinois lacks the judgment to assume the mantle of Commander-in-Chief. As the economy appears to be showing signs of a slow recovery
