Joe Biden went hard after McCain's judgment in his speech tonight:

Now, despite being complicit in this catastrophic foreign policy, John McCain says Barack Obama isn't ready to protect our national security. Now, let me ask you: whose judgment should we trust? Should we trust John McCain's judgment when he said only three years ago, "Afghanistan--we don't read about it anymore because it's succeeded"? Or should we trust Barack Obama, who more than a year ago called for sending two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan?

The fact is, al-Qaida and the Taliban--the people who actually attacked us on 9/11--have regrouped in those mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan and are plotting new attacks. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff echoed Barack's call for more troops.

John McCain was wrong. Barack Obama was right.

To which McCain blogger Michael Goldfarb answers -- perhaps previewing what we'll hear in St. Paul:

Joe Biden opposed the Reagan defense build-up that won the Cold War.

Joe Biden voted against the First Gulf War.

Joe Biden voted against the surge.
