Biden: ISIS can be defeated without US boots on the ground
The Hill ^ | 8-23-2014 | Mario Trujillo

Vice President Biden expressed confidence that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria could be defeated without U.S. boots on the ground in Iraq, calling the militant group "far from invincible." 

In a Washington Post op-ed published Friday, Biden described the threat as a "long-term challenge" but said the United States is prepared to increase its support in the fight.

Clown Prince nobama will order the military to go in barefoot. Maybe Biden’s statement is somehow related to the article on how the “West” may join with Assad to fight ISIS. Didn’t idiot commie nobama support and arm ISIS against Assad in Syria? Didn’t mclame meet with his ISIS friends in Syria? These fools really live in a screwed up worldview, don’t they? I only hope these anti-American losers don’t get more Americans killed with their bumbling “foreign policy”. Oh...where’s skerry...he’s a real foreign policy genius????

That's not the point Joe.

By removing all our trops at the insistence of Obama, we left a hole.

Like I said years ago, we were right to go after Iraq for may reasons...but primarily so there wasn't a hole for the Taliban and/or alqueda.

Just get the remaining Christians out first and then turn it into a glass parking lot. As Popeye always said, “I’ve had all I can stands and I can’t stands no more.” I always liked Popeye but thought his taste in women a little questionable.

I can’t believe a thing the clown says and that’s not new. He’s been On the stage a long time and has been caught in far too many lies. Bold ones too
He doesn’t even flinch

well, what with all the weapons we’ve managed to get into the trrorists’ hands ...

it doesnn’t seem likely the IslamoNazis can be defeated without some sort of military action against them

rest easy, Biden, your boss will never do anything serious against his Religion of Peace comrades

he’s been honest enough to tell us so, let’s at least give him credit for that

“So are we going to bomb women and children?”


Don’t know if you have noticed but the Muzzies are cutting off the heads of Christian women and children now, as we speak. It is a message even their dim minds can grasp.

The trouble with the enemy is that they have a say in what they are going to do.

What’s he going to do ... fire two ‘blasts’ in the air from his double barrel shotgun?

Now you've done it! You just tipped off the enemy to joey's secret plan.

He’s right. But we won’t do it. We have nukes but will never use them.
