well, that's not much of a stretch

Biden says McCain often wrong on national security

CINCINNATI - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden on Wednesday questioned John McCain's judgment to be commander in chief, arguing that the Republican presidential candidate would keep digging the United States into a hole of isolation and insecurity.

"Our country is less secure and more isolated than it has been at any time in recent history," Biden said in remarks prepared for a speech to supporters. "This administration has dug America into a very deep hole around the world at a time our leadership is needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century."

Biden said a central question for the election is which candidate can get the U.S. out of that hole, and he said it is Democrat Barack Obama.

"Nothing is more important than judgment," Biden said in his remarks. "But time and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain's judgment was wrong."
