Biden: We'll Follow IS to the Gates of Hell
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/9/14 | Ben Ariel

Posted on 09/04/2014 3:21:28 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday issued a sharp warning to the Islamic State group, saying after the United States is done grieving the death of two American journalists, their killers will have to answer for their actions.

"They should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice," he forcefully told an audience at an event on the New Hampshire-Maine border, according to CNN. "Because hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside."

Biden opened his remarks in memory of Steven Sotloff, the journalist who was beheaded by IS militants Tuesday, two weeks after James Foley was executed in the same horrific manner on video.

Describing the perpetrators as "barbarians," Biden vowed that Americans would not be frightened or intimidated by the heinous acts.

"We came back after 9/11. We dusted ourselves off and we made sure that Osama bin Laden would never, ever again threaten the American people," Biden said. "We came back Boston strong, blaming no one but resolve to be certain that this didn't happen again."

"As a nation, we're united, and when people harm Americans, we don't retreat," he later said. "We don't forget."

I agree that the entire free world must do battle with IS. But there are strategic reasons for doing that, not just the fact that they are subhuman crud buckets. Getting all worked up about their latest atrocity and using that as a casus beli is a good tactic, for that matter. You have to get the public behind a war, and waving a bloody shirt is one way to do it.

But what I can't stand is the sense that Captain Bass Ackwards Biden has just mounted his horse the wrong way and shouted "CHARGE!!!" without even putting his feet in the stirrups, and this is the first thought that Team Obama has had about war planning.

What's especially worrisome is that they've picked a murdered Jew's bloody shirt to wave around. When things go wrong in an ill-thought-out campaign, which is what this is looking like, guess whom the usual suspects will blame. Perhaps that's what they did plan on. They waited through the slaughter of the Christians, the Yazidis, and Foley, until they got a reversible victim; changes to member of scapegoat nation with the push of a button.

Is Biden being “Captain Badass” because he was told he is not running fro prez in 2016 and is wanting to puff himself up so that he appears viable by taking on a no brainer issue with great gusto????

Blaming no one?

Biden: We'll Follow IS to the Gates of Hell

Read that in context, "We'll Follow IS to the Gates of Hell because we created them".

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Some of the great men of history were clueless. Look at Columbus. He was looking for India, and instead discovered a new continent, all full of indigenous, peace-loving peoples for evil Europeans to enslave and destroy, as well as tobacco. Look at Ponce de Leon. He was looking for the fountain of youth and instead discovered a great place to build condos. Look at the Nobel family. They were looking for a way to end all wars, and instead discovered a prize that discredits its recipients. Look at Julius Caesar. He was trying to become absolute dictator of the Roman Empire, and instead he got a salad named after him. And Clueless Joe stands in their august company.

Push em all the way to the Gates of Hell—Then kick them into Satan’s waiting arms for their overdue punishment.

What a stupid, nonsensical thing to say. He’s going to chase them to the gates of hell, then bring them back from hell to an American court?

Maybe not, but his youngest son will be there to cash in when our guys are done fighting and dying...

If he takes them to Brooklyn Criminal Court it’ll be the same thing as Hell anyway.
