Senator Biden is absolutely right when he says that we will be tested by our enemies within six months after the election. During the Democratic primary, Senators Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd and Governor Bill Richardson and others, all agreed that Barack Obama was inexperienced and unprepared to become the next
Commander-in-Chief. What gives anyone reason to believe that he's any better prepared today than he was then?

Yesterday, Senator Joe Biden confirmed what I have been saying for more than a year now. He warned Americans that our enemies would test Barack Obama with an international crisis within six months if he is elected President. He went on to say, "Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis to test the mettle of this guy, and he is going to need help".

If those words don't bring Americans to their senses, I don't know what will.

At a time when this country cannot afford another economic hit, we cannot have a president whose mettle has not been tested under fire or in a crisis situation. We cannot afford a sitting president that our enemies would contemplate testing, knowing full well that he doesn't have the experience or that he is going to need help. With the world markets as volatile as they are today and our enemies watching every move we make, which is apparent by Adam Gadahn's message from Al-Qaida just last week, this is not the time for on the job training for the presidency.

I've lived and worked through the horrors of 9/11 and its aftermath and was on the ground in Iraq for the first four months after the fall of Saddam Hussein. For the past three years I worked throughout the Middle East and learned firsthand the continued threats we face from an enemy that wants the demise of this country. I've seen leadership at its best and worst and I've seen enough to know that fighting the war against terror, protecting this country and most importantly, responding to a crisis, God forbid it's necessary, is going to take more than charisma and transformational inspiration.

Senator Biden is absolutely right when he says that we will be tested by our enemies within six months after the election. The question for the American people is, "Who do you trust with the safety and security of your family and this country, Barack Obama or John McCain?" I think the answer the answer is pretty clear.
