The other day we read that former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, in his book, “Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War”, charged that Vice President Joe Bite Me has been wrong on every single foreign policy issue of the last four decades. Really, that’s nothing new. You can probably scroll through these pages and find where I wrote the same thing, because it’s true. Well, the White House felt that they needed to defend Bite Me from the glaringly obvious. McClatchy<\/a> reports;<\/p>\n

Carney said the White House disagrees with Gates\u2019 assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a senator and as a vice president, Joe Biden has been one of the leading statesmen of his time and he has been an excellent counselor and adviser to the president for the past five years,\u201d Carney said, adding that Biden has played a \u201ckey role\u201d in every major national security and foreign policy debate in the White House, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

During White House policy debates on Afghanistan, Biden was often portrayed as playing the role of devil\u2019s advocate and reportedly pressed for a more rapid withdrawal of troops from the country than Gates and the military had proposed, citing concerns about the strain of the war on the federal budget and growing opposition to the decade-old conflict.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s it, he was just playing “Devil’s Advocate”, it couldn’t be that he’s an empty-headed Bozo, could it? it would be funny, except that the Obama Administration actually followed his advice on Afghanistan and it has cost lives of troops following his zombie ninja robot strategy there. The only thing that Biden ever supported that worked was when he voted for the use of force against Saddam Hussein, and he regrets that vote, so why would anyone listen to him when he convinced the President to half-ass the surge in Afghanistan in favor of the use of special forces and drones instead of real, good old infantry force of arms? And then he opposed the SEALs taking out Osama bin Laden – so he didn’t really believe in his own strategy. <\/p>\n

Of course, the Obama Administration wants Biden to be the presidential candidate in 2016 as proof that Obama Administration has legs. I hope he runs, too, because that will put an end to this madness that we’ve experienced the last few years. Biden is an incompetent boob, and there’s no way around it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
