BIDEN CALLS UAE PRINCE TO CLARIFY REMARKS ON SYRIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS ^ | 10/05/2014 | AYA BATRAWY

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday called the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates to clarify that he did not mean to imply in his remarks last week that the Gulf ally was supporting al-Qaida fighters in Syria.

Biden spoke with Prince Mohamed bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and a key Emirati leader, the White House said.

It was the second time in two days that Biden had to call a key partner in President Barack Obama's coalition to walk back comments he made on Thursday, when he said that U.S. allies - including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - had funded and armed extremist groups linked to al-Qaida.

VP Biden no longer wears shoes, he simply steps into one waste-filled bucket after the other. Just follow the tracks.

I think the VP position is way above Joe’s pay grade.

I remember in 2008, when Biden was picked for the #2 slot on the ticket, every body was gushing about how much experience he had in foreign policy and international relations. Biden sticks his foot in his mouth pretty much every time he broaches the subject.

Whenever Joe Biden speaks, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.

He’s giving his boss plausible deniability when it comes to dealing with our “partners” in the region. IMO, Biden’s speaking what’s really on the mind of Jarrett & Obama.

The Dems hold up Biden in the face of an Obama impeachment demand as a prey holds up a cross in the face of a Vampire.

Just think: when/if nobama gets impeached this “wrecking ball,” to use Drudge’s definition, will become POTUS.
