Biden, The Joint Chiefs of Gaffe, Speaks Out on Iran Before Obama
Biden, although a bit dimwitted and always good for a laugh, actually tends to tell the truth from time to time, which is not always a good thing.
I was taught that honesty is the best policy, and in most circumstances, that is the case. However, politics is an entirely different situation, especially when dealing with a foreign country. Politicians have to be more cognizant of not only what they say but when they say it.
So, although Biden was correct in his assessment of Iran’s election results, his candid statement today regarding the validity of the election was probably not the smartest thing to say. I’m sure Obama is not that happy about this:
Vice President Joe Biden, going further than any other high-ranking American official to date in questioning the validity of last Friday’s election, said Sunday that “there’s some real doubt” that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was legitimately re-elected as president of Iran.
It’s also interesting that on the same day as Biden’s statement, the European Union exclaims the following:
The Presidency of the Council of the EU closely followed the course of the Presidential elections held on 12 June 2009 and notices Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected for the second term as the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Presidency is concerned about alledged irregularities during the election process and post-electional violence that broke out immediately after the release of the official election results on 13 June 2009.
The Presidency hopes that outcome of the Presidential elections will bring the opportunity to resume the dialogue on nuclear issue and clear up Iranian position in this regard. The Presidency expects the new Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran will take its responsibility towards international community and respect its international obligations.
The EU, in essence, is recognizing the legitimacy of the Iranian elections and the new administration of Ahmadinejad. However, it calls the protests irregular, not Ahmadinejad’s win. This is one of the reasons I don’t ever want America compared to Europe – we are much better.
Biden may not have been politically correct and may have upset his boss, but I happen to personally agree with him on this one. This is technically a gaffe, because Obama has not come out in support of Biden’s statement or opinion on this issue. Obama, being the Commander in Chief is Joe Biden’s boss and should speak out on Iran’s election first. A politician has to always watch what he or she says… something that Biden has long forgotten how to do. If we find that yet again this administration contradicts itself by saying two different things, it certainly looks bad and shows a real lack of knowledge and/or leadership on how to manage a country.
The individual that we should be most concerned about is Obama – when will he say anything definitive about Iran?
International Community Feeling the Hope and Change; Serbs Protest Biden’s Visit and Say: “Go Home Nazi Scum.”
Many Serbs share the same sentiments of the Serb Nationalistsbecause of Biden’s past actions, his son’s comments that called Serbs thugs and other slurs that Biden has used when referring to their country/region.
Earlier this week Biden made a gaffe about the VP bunker, in which I also disclosed that his past words would come back to haunt him during his visit to the Balkans – and it has!
Serb ultra-nationalist lawmakers held up insulting signs in parliament Wednesday as US Vice President Joe Biden, considered a strong backer of Kosovo independence, arrived in Belgrade.
“Biden, you Nazi scum, go home,” said the posters brandished by opposition Radical Party deputies during the live national broadcast of a parliament sitting which coincided with the start of Biden’s visit.
The Radicals, who occupy around a fifth of places in the 250-seat assembly, then pasted the signs which also labelled Biden a “fascist” on a notice board and hallway.
Gaffe-o-Matic Biden Discloses VP Bunker and Other Crazy Slurs
Biden truly is the gift that keeps on giving and the poor old man just can’t keep his mouth shut. I wonder if they make Pepto-Bismol for oral diarrhea ~ the least he could do is strap a diaper to his face…
Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
As if endangering his own life wasn’t enough to make a joke about his predecessor (sometimes liberals are so daft because they are so intent on blaming and demonizing everyone else – they forget about common decency and common sense), he has also endangers America’s foreign relations. The Balkan states have dredged up old interviews and records that prove Biden has said some very demeaning and inflammatory things about Serbians, etc. This is coming out due to a recent trip that has been scheduled for Biden to go to the region to “reset” tiesto the Balkan States (many are protesting the visit).
On the occasion of the announced Belgrade visit of the U.S. vice president Joseph Biden, one of the most virulent Serbophobes in Washington, representatives of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and New Serbia (NS) today submitted to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs a set of documents containing records of Biden’s racist anti-Serbian slurs and insults.
DSS Parliament representative Jovan Palalić told gathered reporters that submitted documents are a reminder of the things current American vice president and former senator was saying and of the vicious crusade he relentlessly lead against Serbian nation and state.
The records include Biden’s unforgettable appearance on CNN’s Larry King Live, when he said that “Serbs are illiterate degenerates, baby killers, butchers and rapists”, his assertion during Senatorial deliberations in 1999 over NATO aggression against Serbia that “all Serbs should be placed in Nazi-style concentration camps” and other equally unforgivable outbursts of hatred and malice.
While advocating a “unified Bosnia”, without the Serb Republic and dominated by Izetbegovic’s and Silajdzic’s cutthroats, amputation of the cradle of Serbian state — Kosovo and Metohija province — and then an indivisible “Kosovo state” with “inviolable borders”, at the same time Biden also promoted dismemberment of Iraq and its division into three states.
“We are convinced that Biden’s statements and policies are entirely contrary to the interests of Serbia and Serbian people,” Palalić said, adding that Biden’s bellicose hatred of Serbs “culminated in the bombardment of Serbia and was crowned by the illegal secession and declaration of independence of the fake state of Kosovo”.
“His meeting with Serbian officials will most probably be punctuated with the new pressures on our state, urging Serbia to establish ‘good neighborly relations’ with the fake state, weakening the institutions of Republic of Srpska [Bosnia-Herzegovina], as well as pushing Serbia to renege on its military neutrality and to begin the process of joining NATO pact”, Palalić said.
I realize that many will request proof of such unbelievable words from even Biden’s mouth, so here is a video that is not all that inflammatory but certainly makes some offensive remarks and inaccurate historical statements towards the Serbs as well as the war criminal who sits beside Biden…

I have to sometimes wonder whether or not Biden may have another aneurysm. I’m not sure how anyone could make so many gaffes, continue to do so, and be serious about it.
