McCain: "We Don't Want A President Who Invites Testing From The World"

The ABC News blog reports that, in response to Senator Biden's concession that the foreign policy inexperience of a President Obama would invite "world testing", Senator McCain will deliver these remarks later today in Belton, Missouri:

"The next President won’t have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home, and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world. Just last night, Senator Biden guaranteed that if Senator Obama is elected, we will have an international crisis to test America’s new President. We don’t want a President who invites testing from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting in two wars.

"What is more troubling is that Senator Biden told their campaign donors that when that crisis hits, they would have to stand with them because it wouldn't be apparent Senator Obama would have the right response.

"Forget apparent. Senator Obama won’t have the right response, and we know that because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign. He opposed the surge strategy that is bringing us victory in Iraq and will bring us victory in Afghanistan. He said he would sit down unconditionally with the world's worst dictators. When Russia invaded Georgia, Sen. Obama said the invaded country should show restraint.

"We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: hoping for our luck to change at home and abroad. We have to act. We need a new direction, and we have to fight for it."

Biden Does His Homework: World Testing To Occur During Obama's Freshman Year

Children and Senator Joe Biden can say the darnedest things. Sometimes they are profound. Here's the latest from Joe, courtesy of ABC News:

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

Uh, Joe, I think I would rather vote for the guy who won't provoke an international crisis. And when it comes to world testing, no copying answers from Neal Kinnock will be allowed.

Update: Hotair posts on Biden's "world testing" comment with the following definition of his chief attribute (and perhaps the reason Powell endorsed him):

Gaffe (n): The accidental act of a politician telling the truth.
