Buncha smart@sses!;-)

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Thank god Biden’s hair plugs also act as an impenetrable rocket shield

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL!

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Those smartasses should know better than to mess with Vice President BiteMe.

[mountainlion]

Is this good news or bad news?

[GeronL]

Good thing the man is so indestructable that even reality cannot penetrate.

[jessduntno]

Geez...maybe now he’ll finally be “shot at in the Green Zone..lying POS...

[libh8er]

as Biden Visits Iraq

Did it say if any of the rockets hit their intended targets ?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

No yet...I’m guessing friendly fire!

[driftdiver]

Hillary’s snipers are jealous.

[livius]

Biden is too stupid to die. I hope nobody else was injured.

But this shows you exactly what our enemy thinks of us now and how weak they believe us to be.

[mylife]

Biden is in Iraq?

Where is doofus boy?

[magritte]

4th of July tribute...nothing to see here...magritte

[caww]

Rockets fired at Bagdad US Embassy...Biden there? Hummm looks like they knew he was coming. Guessing he’ll consider further trips after this....

Any injuries reported yet?

[CommieCutter]

The same exact thing happened in 1929 and as soon as it did, FDR got on Television to tell the American people all about it!!! Amazing!!!

[Michael Barnes]

Ah crap...this is a tough one;....who to root for?

[boycott]

Why are they still mad?

Didn’t candidate obamar say we were going to be out of there in 16 months if he was elected? I am sure we’re out of there if that’s what he said.

[Cold Heat]

They usually refer to mortar rounds as rockets. If so, this is normal day to day routine.

[NordP]

Ah...that would be soverign U.S. territory, and an act of war...

Now who wants to start the pool as to when bHo decides to call it something else...somethinnnng more warm and fuzzy?

Instead, I think "they" are bankin' on bHo being a weenie, runnin' scared, and pullin' out.

Yo...obama...the song goes:

...rockets red glare, and bombs bursting in air...gave proof through the night, that our Flag was STILL THERE!!!!"

I'm JUST sayin'....THAT's how the song goes!

[Zakeet]

Don't worry Plugs ... the Wee Wee is in charge
and he knows what to do

[skeeter]

Big deal. Thats like saying a rocket was fired at the state capitol while Skeeter was living in California.

Hardly makes Biden a combat vet.

[mylife]

What’s the skinny on this?

[Outlaw Woman]

They missed. That's the main detail in this snippet.

[bikerman]

And the Problem is????

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama is thinking “Damn, was this close to having Pelosi as my VP”

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Here's a pic with Gen Odierno doing his Dr. Evil impersonation...

[beericus]

LMAO!! smartasses!!

[2111USMC]

Well, better luck next time.

[nuconvert]

okay, U were the first one to say it. Congrats. lol

[Allegra]

Did it say if any of the rockets hit their intended targets ?

They rarely do...

[mylife]

Stay safe

[Berlin_Freeper]

They must not have known Biden is there.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I thought it was odd that we were told Biden was visiting before he went. Normally they’ve announced those visits after they started.

[JohnD9207]

This is not a big F’n deal!!!!!

[EGPWS]

They haven't learned yet and they will most definitely suffer for their lack of knowledge.....

DON'T MESS WITH JOE!!! /s

[Allegra]

What’s the skinny on this?

The skinny is that the terrorists are still firing the occasional rockets and mortars at the bases, but it only gets in the news when someody like "Bite Me" is in town.

Buncha smartasses...;-)

[mylife]

It is if your in the line of fire.

[dforest]

Well ya know, I guess the bad guys didn’t want to waste a crisis.

[mylife]

Business as usual eh?

[1_Rain_Drop]

"Ah crap...this is a tough one;....who to root for?"

Root for the plugs. They're expensive.

[EGPWS]

Stop with the photo shop stuff, at least show enough respect to show the POTUS in a didnified fasion without alteration! ~ snort

[Frank_2001]

And Biden was probably thinking, “Hey, fireworks! COOL!”/s;)

[SoCalPol]

Hey there, we need Biden for comic relief.
We don’t need third in charge Nazi Pelosi

[Allegra]

Business as usual eh?

Yep. Ol' Bite Me and Friends caused some of our roads to be closed off, making it a pain to get around base.

We're glad to see them head to DoS-Land. I'm sure the roads on the Embassy Compound are all screwed up now.

We'll be even happier to see 'em leave Iraq.

[Sender]

I think they know when anyone important is coming by watching the aircraft coming in and the speeding convoys. I bet it was a circus of security activity.

[BIGLOOK]

Avoid Biden at all costs......you'd be safer out on the streets even if rockets are falling.

Happy 4th of July, Allegra!

Stay safe!

[mylife]

I wonder what the putz is doing over there?

[Allegra]

Hey there, we need Biden for comic relief.

No problem. We'll try to return him to the States as fast as we can.

We really don't want him here. They screw up our roads and make things difficult.

[padre35]

The Terrs never messed with Dick Cheney, for a number of reasons I’d suspect..
