Joe Biden

Famous quotes by Joe Biden:

"Because our military power dwarfs that of other countries - we spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined - this Administration believes that alliances and international institutions are more of a burden than a benefit. They allow the Lilliputians to tie down Gulliver."

"The Middle East is hopeful. There's hope there."

"You are one of the best witnesses, I think, that has come before this committee. You've convinced folks who share Senator Brownback's view that you're going to be just right for them and you've convinced folks that share Senator Kennedy's view that you're just right for them,"

"We are willing to vote 10 minutes after we get back in session if in fact they provide the information -- information that Mr. Bolton's staff had access to that they will not give to the majority leader of the United States Senate,"

"By the end of '06 we're going to have a pretty clear picture of whether or not it's succeeding or failing, ... And success will be dependent upon a government that's representative and a capacity to govern in terms of security."

"I think it gives suits and not the turbans -- the way it's referred to in the Shiite sector -- an opportunity to make their case that they have to, in fact, bring in specifically Sunnis into the Cabinet, ... Fox News Sunday."

"We have repeatedly missed the deadlines for increasing power [and] oil production, ... As temperatures approach 120 degrees in the third summer since Saddam's statue came down, Iraqis still have only about eight hours a day of electricity and almost half do not have regular access to clean water."

"One thing is clear: These weapons must be must be dislodged from Saddam, or Saddam must be dislodged from power,"

"If it succeeds, the political process, I predict you'll see a drawdown of American forces by this time next year."

"Most liberals think of civil liberties as their Achilles heel. It isn't."
