Arabs ain’t laughing at Biden gaffe

| October 6, 2014

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 reports that the Turks aren’t pleased that he insinuated that they aided ISIS;

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.

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.

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;

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

[…]

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.

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.

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.

…Well, the media sure as hell can’t go after him, because at that point they’d be saying he was as bad as Dan Quayle. (Whom, I should say, I liked)

Always remember and never forget, this dunce is a heartbeat away from being our President. If that don’t keep you up at night, you are not paying attention!!!

Obama has got to be the smartest President we have ever had…I mean, he basically guarenteed that he can do anything he wants, and we will not impeach him…because we would then be stuck with “Uncle” Joe.

Jesus H. Christ on a crutch, can you believe that retard is actually in charge of people? Seriously, how drunk was he? I wonder why the hell they even let Shotgun Joe out in public. You know every time he opens his mouth, he’s causing severe acid reflux for the Glorious Leader & co.

To think, a lot of people believed that this assdouche is smarter than Sarah Palin or Paul Ryan. Palin has taken more intelligent dumps! Kim Jong-Un makes less-ridiculous arguments about how great Norkland is. Hell, Sean fucking woman-beating, dictator-loving Penn isn’t as stupid as this guy! No wonder the Russians don’t take us seriously…

I will forever remember the statement by the Police Chief in his home town after his “get a shotgun” press release. You know the one saying that if either he or his wife just randomly fired into the air they would be arrested for it.

Someone needs to sew his mouth shut… and his ass, too.

Both ends make unpleasant smells and noises, you know.

It’s not even worth noting his errors, lies, and stupid remarks any longer. Every week there is a new idiotic statement, if not by Biden or the Golfer in Mom jeans (Ebol-e) then someone in this administration.

You mean Barack Obola?

Thanks Joe. Thanks for stepping on more feet at the prom dance than the three legged kid from circus parents. Never fails to amaze me when they let him out of his padded office and in front of a microphone, crap like this happens. So much for building and maintaining a cohesive coalition. Everyone who hasn’t been offended by Biden, please raise your hand……yea, thought so.

Wasn’t this the guy they touted as a great foreign policy expert?

Roger in Republic

Yes but only by Democrats.

Well, he’s certainly touted himself as that. As I recall, he bragged on it when debating Paul Ryan.

Yeah, was it Biden or Kerry who kept calling the Kremlin but couldn’t get his call accepted? I thought that was the funniest shit ever to come out of this administration–with Obama’s golf swing, baseball toss, and round ball free throws, collectively, a close second.

He might have gotten away with it, if he had admitted that the US also helped create this situation by its premature withdrawal from Iraq, and creation of this huge power vacuum…

Ex-PH2

Which one of those imbeciles is the bigger embarrassment to this country?

Or are they on an equal par in that regard?

Will this asinine business of worshiping this slop never end?

Ironically enough, he’s probably right. I have no doubt in my mind that every middle eastern nation aside from Israel is supporting ISIS and other terrorist organizations from behind the scenes.

peter casper

same asshole who plagiarized his way through college. shining example of the intellectual progressive class.

Joe Williams

I hope the Turks come to realize that they are the ISIS’s list of things to do after a few other Nations.UAE? Joe

Not that I’m defending Jeff Dunham’s Walter, but I’m under the impression that the Turks do hate Erdogan, and do blame him for enabling the flood of ‘refugees’ from northern Iraq and Syria.
