Biden meets with Human Rights group and condemned this administration
http://joebiden.com/newscenter/pressreleases/?id=0037

Concord, NH- Sen. Joe Biden today called on President Bush to end the U.S. policy condoning torture, and condemned the Bush Administration for its blatant disregard of international treaties and constitutional safeguards.

Emerging from a meeting with 13 former U.S. Generals organized by Human Rights First in Concord NH, Sen. Biden said “As the Generals told me today, the policies of the Bush Administration are making our soldiers less safe. The selfless effort of these Generals to shed light on the travesty of this policy cannot go unnoticed.”


Sen. Biden added “These Generals are men who led our country in war and peace. Their courage in standing up for their troops must be recognized. Our soldiers should not be made targets for uncivilized behavior that others can somehow say we condone. We must reverse these policies now before another American serviceman or servicewoman is put at risk.”

1. It's very lonely around here.
Anybody else want to stand up for Biden?

2. Bush's Torture Makes Soldiers Less Safe
WTG Biden. Woo Hoo.

My current Meme: The only thing Bush Recycles is Our Troops.

Got to keep it simple for Joe Six Pack. "Torture Makes our Troops Less Safe."

See, that's still too many words. We need serious marketing Gurus involved on this.

We must have catchy phrases like "legislating defeat", "fight them over there", "

Four word maximum for assuring deepest penetration through the Imus, Anna Nicole, American Idol haze...

3. Yep - I agree, Biden needs to simplify when he speaks
Attention spans are very short these days.

But I have to ask - why do people refer to him as
'Joe six-pack' ?
