what confuses me is --- 'gonna test' him "be ready' .... and yet his compaign is primarily about diplomacy.
So are we to assume when he is ~tested~ by all these places he's gonna invite them over the white house for dinner to talk it out?
When even the freaking Secretary of Defense (historically always at war with the State Department over "turf" and funding) is on record saying: that
....then you know that it's gotten bad, and too much emphasis has been placed upon the military as the solution to every problem out there. I like Joe Biden, but he doesn't have any more of a crystal ball than anyone else does, and when he says "Obama will be tested," he has no way of knowing whether that's correct, or what sort of "test" it might look like. But regardless of how accurate a prognosticator Biden is, one thing which ISN'T a matter of speculation is that "sitting down and talking it out" is a woefully-underutilized tool lately. Like the military, it's also not the tool for every problem....but unlike the military, it hasn't been getting abused in that way lately.
I don't see the big deal about this statement, the times have already challenged these candidates before a single vote has been cast and we've seen who's ready to take charge and who's not ready.
Calm, steady and in touch or slow, old and out of touch.

Reward Republicans for 8 years of failure? No way, No how, No McCain!
Maybe Joe does know something or has gotten to know Obama and has concerns about him as the commander in chief.
That is very sobering and realistic. Look what happened last time we had a young president that rogue leaders considered weak. We came very close to being Nuked. This is what Biden is referring to when he says they will test him like they did John Kennedy. This is very frightening.
American voters have a choice, to put someone in that his own running mate who has had 30+ years experience in foreign affairs is warning us that rogue nations will test WITH SUCH MAGNITUDE, or someone who they will not test like this.
This is the most serious issue that we face today.
