I guess only the folks in the US media think that Joe Bite Me is cute when he opens his stupid mouth. The Washington Post<\/a> reports that the Turks aren’t pleased that he insinuated that they aided ISIS;<\/p>\n

So after Biden claimed that Erdogan had acknowledged fault in enabling the flow of foreign fighters across the Turkish border, it was inevitable that a firestorm would ensue.<\/p>\n

Biden swiftly responded Saturday to a demand by Erdogan for an apology, saying he regretted the criticism of Turkey and also a suggestion that other U.S. allies had helped facilitate the rise of the extremist Islamic State group in Syria.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, now the Turks are using that “gaffe” as an excuse to limit their participation in the war against those Islamic State folks. And Joe moves on to piss off some more folks – the Gulf Arabs, according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Vice President Joe Biden says he never meant to imply that the United Arab Emirates was supporting al-Qaida fighters in Syria.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Biden had said U.S. allies including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE had funded and armed extremist groups linked to al-Qaida. The UAE was exasperated and requested a formal clarification.<\/p>\n

The White House says Biden clarified his remarks and recognized the UAE’s strong steps to counter extremists and participation in U.S.-led airstrikes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This administration was bragging how they put together a coalition of Arab states against the Islamic State – now they can brag about how fast the smartest Vice President in our history can destroy that coalition before they get a chance to fire a shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
