"Slow" Joe Biden -- still an idiot

Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving as the current "court jester" of the Senate. He did it again yesterday and while the quote in question hardly reaches the "clean" and "articulate" level of previous statements, it still clearly shows how stupid this man is:

Biden, the chair of the Senate foreign relations committee, also criticized McCain for putting too much emphasis on Iraq.

"If John wants to know where the bad guys live, come back with me to Afghanistan," Biden said. "We know where they reside. And it’s not in Iraq."

Um, the bad guys aren't in Iraq? Tell that to the soldiers -- both Iraqi and US -- that have fought the animals in Iraq. Tell that to the families who have lost loved ones in Iraq. Tell that to the soldiers who have been severely wounded in Iraq. Yes, Afghanistan has bad guys in it (usually the ones who jump the border) but to insist that too much emphasis has been placed on Iraq, and that there are no bad guys there craps all over the sacrifices made by our soldiers there fighting against the elements of radical Islam that decided to make that country the central front in this war. And here's a newsflash for "Slow" Joe -- those animals rolled the dice and lost the gamble in Iraq.

They thought they could beat us there and they thought they could turn the Iraqis against us. They failed to make that permanent. We're winning there, and that, we think, is part of the reason why Obama and his surrogates keep talking like this. They want the public to forget their Iraq-is-a-failure rhetoric, and accept their newly-retooled Iraq-is-over rhetoric.

It's not going to fly, but we thank Joe Biden for reminding the nation that he is, and always will be, the lead "court jester" of the Senate.
