Gulp!
President Obama is exploring alternatives to a major troop increase in Afghanistan, including a plan advocated by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to scale back American forces and focus more on rooting out Al Qaeda there and in Pakistan, officials said Tuesday.
Uh, Mr. President; if I may? Your Vice President? Well, he’s an idiot. I know, its hard to believe that you could have chosen a moron as your Veep, but you did…next time, a little more monitoring of the selection committee, kay?
Anyways, back to this whole, “Biden is an idiot” thing – given that he is (and, remember, during the campaign he once talked up how France and the US had expelled Hezbollah from Lebanon), it might not be in America’s best interest to make him the point man on strategy. Any strategy – but most especially strategy where life is at stake. What I’m saying here is that its ok to keep Biden around for a laugh or two, but when real, adult decisions have to be made, you might want to look elsewhere for advice…
