Biden Defends COUGAR on Meet the Press. Joe Biden "nails it", when he indicated he would NOT cut funding for the troops on the ground as a tactical means to put more pressure on the Bush administration to "end the War". During the Meet the Press interview, Joe Biden made a compelling, extremely articulate and impressive plea to his colleagues to NOT use funding cuts as a political football at the expense of American military lives. He spoke primarily about the new Cougar vehicles which are virtually IED proof which are needed to replace current HumVees in theater. The upcoming funding bill if NOT approved would cut funding for these vehicles and would thus DIRECTLY place more American lives at risk. When asked if he would go along with other Democrats and vote to cut funding for the war at the expense of gaining the nomination of the Presidency from his party, he responded in one of the most sincere statements I have seen a politician make on Meet the Press in a very long time. He said he would make the choice to support the troops and the funding even at the expense of loosing the Democratic primary race. Awesome!
