I mean, the truth of the matter is that, that the—America’s—this administration’s policy and the surge are a failure, and that the surge, which was supposed to stop sectarian violence and—long enough to give political reconciliation, there’s been no political reconciliation. The reality is that we’re supposed to, as you said, stand up American—or stand up the Iraqis so the Americans could stand down. We’ve been hearing that for five years. We’re nowhere near being able to do that.
The reality is that, although there has been some mild progress on the security front, there is, in fact, no, no real security in Baghdad and/or in Anbar province, where I was, dealing with the most serious problem, sectarian violence. Sectarian violence is as strong and as solid and as serious a problem as it was before the surge started.

Blatant overt lying.
Good post!
PwN3D!!
Plugs, you are JUST what McCamnesty wanted to see at BHO’s side as VP candidate!
Woohoo! “Plugs” Biden! The gift that just won’t shut up.
He said this back in September 2007.
So his most recent judgment on military policy was wrong.
The NEW YORK TIMES even said the surge has worked. (Yeah, last week. But they were busy covering Edward’s subterfuges before that.)
Terrence, I have the feeling this will be fun.
You done good.
Oh boy, oh boy... more mouth...keep it going Biden. Keep it going.
I personally think Biden is coo-coo.
Yo Joe! Wish you could eat those words now?
Blatant, overt stupidity.
Thanks for pointing that out.
This is the season of a million "negative" ads.
The ad makers must be giddy with Obama and Biden giving them toooooo much material to use. LoL!
“Biden: Petraeus ‘Dead Flat Wrong’ on Iraq”
So for being totally wrong, what is Bidens record on Iraq funding?
I read the link, Biden thinks he is too smart. This will be a problem for Obama two people on the ticket that think they are smarter than any one else.
Well, you know Hillary ain’t Dorothy. Get out the green makeup!
“or in Anbar province, where I was, dealing with the most serious problem, sectarian violence.....
Hmmmmm where did that come from, and where were you? Al Anbar Province...aka the SUNNI Triangle has hardly any Shia’ if any at all. Unless they’ve came BACK... which wouldn’t that mean things have gotten better if Shia’ can come back to the SUNNI TRIANGLE? Furthermore.....
I’ve been deployed to Iraq 4 times in the last five years (having just left in spring of ‘08... and it is NIGHT and DAY difference compared to ‘04 and ‘06.
I can’t comment on the Army’s AO, because I haven’t been there, but I haven’t been hearing much from there either.
I’m raisin the BS Flag!
by the way..... It WAS quite in Sep ‘07..... just the way we left it in the Spring of ‘07.....and still quite
Wishing the surge to be a failure won't make it so, Joe. And make no mistake, B-HO/Biden and nearly every Rat pol not only root hard for U.S. failure in Iraq and in the WOT in general, but they work tirelessly toward that end.
this is the man picked for foreign policy ‘experience’
Bold talk from an idiot with grass patches growing on his head.
Thank you, I needed that! ROTFLMAO .....
UGGGGGHHGHGHGH Quiet.... spell check don’t work when you use the wrong word spelled correctly!
Nice find!
Predicting the future has a way of coming out "wrong."
I think Biden is a fool, but circumstances in Iraq remain fluid - looking out a generation or two. And at this point, we still don't have a SOFA or equivalent; and as far as I know, the US won't relent on holding Iraq to be a "rogue" nation as a UN formality, as a lever to get better terms on a SOFA.
I don't know how it will all come out - not that I'm averse to making predictions, just that my skill at prediction sucks.
Thanks for going. It means everything, really.
No charge. :-)
Biden,... you’re a butt!
And since he's a dim, it goes without saying that I question his patriotism.
We should Divide Iraq into 3 countries. Joe Biden ( Dumocrat)
I've encountered some of those. They have in common the need to talk non-stop. Because if they stop talking, someone will catch on. Or ask a question.
Biden and Obama are a pair of dunces. Neither one has ever done anything. And they know precious little. About anything.
Arrogance. Obama and Biden are so fulled with it is about me that I doubt they will get along.
That is why the are campaigning separately from day one! First ever that a team splits up so early.
“Biden,... you’re a butt!”
SandRat that’s too funny. Exactly what I call my Horse almost everyday. “HANK,...YOU BUTT!”
My wife and myself were just talking as I was reading these commentaries about what a horse’s A$$ Biden is, and there was your post.
One of those never again in a lifetime coincidences.
Great find.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
He offered today; that his wife was ‘drop dead gorgeous’. Thought; give the sad history of Biden’s family; this was a strange choice of words. Words mean things, of course; and sometimes they mean a whole lot more. . .
Well, the good Lord must have loved horses,.. becuase he made soooooooo many horses butts. hey all turned out to be liberals too.

Biden you Sir(or maybe I should call you just a lying dog)... you are a coward, a tratior, and may God have mercy on your soul.
But inspectors have had a hard time getting truthful information from the Iraqis they interview. Saddam Hussein terrorizes his people, including his weapons scientists, so effectively that they are afraid to be interviewed in private, let alone outside the country. They know that even the appearance of cooperation could be a death sentence for themselves or their families.
To overcome this obstacle, and to discover and dismantle Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, UNMOVIC and the IAEA must interview relevant persons securely and with their families protected, even if they protest publicly against this treatment. Hans Blix may dislike running "a defection agency," but that could be the only way to obtain truthful information about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. -Sen. Joseph Biden
Congressional Record Sen. Joseph Biden, January 23, 2003

What a “brilliant” choice from such a “brilliant” man. A guy who comes from a state with no electoral weight, who is thoughly repulsive and and intellectual midget. This is about the worst choice he could make except maybe Edwards.
IIRC, that was Biden’s ‘questioning’ of Genl Petraeus when he testified before Congress, the day MoveOn ran the “Betray Us” ad.
Hey Mr Silverback, what exactly is a “Biden?”
Here in New Zealand we think it’s a cross between a “Midden” and a “Bidet” — you know, maybe its some new American personal hygiene contraption specially designed for dispensing with large piles of crap.
So Obama has got one of these “Biden” things for his campaign? What’s up with that? I wonder how much one of those cost?
Didn’t hairplugs also vote against the 1st gulf war? Looks to me like this clown is on the wrong side of nearly every foreign policy issue. Is he a Jimmy Carter disciple?
Well, the biden is a particularly strange animal, actually, even stranger than those platypus thingees y’all have down there in that general area. It’s mouth is always open and it is very committed to staying in one habitat (say, the Senate) for 35 years or more.
Lord have mercy.... Dems are sooo warped.
I’m not sure I’d use that term if I was Biden. His first wife was killed in a car crash in ‘72.
Biden voted for the war - and then was dead wrong on the Surge - so in Obama’s view he can no longer attack McCain on the War vote, and the whole Dem ticket would have made a terrible strategic blunder by not carrying out the Surge. The wrong people for the job. Sorry.
Isn't it curious that the more liberal the politician, the more arrogant they are with regard to intelligence?
This is especially true of extremely liberal politicians in safe districts.
