Joe Biden highlights from last night’s Democratic debate in New Hampshire:

Iran with a nuke:
Joe Biden has no problem with hypotheticals. When asked what if Iran had a nuclear weapon capable of hitting targets in the region, Biden says Iran is a decade away from putting a nuclear warhead on a missile. In addition, since Iran is “weak,” economic sanctions should be employed. “But if they posed a missile, stuck it on a pad, I’d take it out.”

How to End Earmarks:
Senator Joe Biden says getting rid of earmarks is easy — “Go to public financing of elections.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough time to explain why Congress is unlikely to even consider such legislation.

On Darfur:
Send NATO troops if the UN won’t act and “impose a no-fly zone.”

Although Senator Joe Biden’s Iraq plan calls for withdrawing and redeploying almost all U.S. forces from that country by the end of 2007, he’s not against using American armed forces “in places where it will work.”

Biden says “If I am your president, I will do more than talk about Darfur. I will send American troops to impose a no-fly zone in Darfur . . . Somalia has forfeited their sovereignty by engaging in genocide. . . . We have no moral right not to act.”
