My jaw hit the floor when I heard Biden say this:
Here's what the president said when we said no. He insisted on elections on the West Bank, when I said, and others said, and Barack Obama said, "Big mistake. Hamas will win. You'll legitimize them." What happened? Hamas won. When we kicked -- along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, "Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don't know -- if you don't, Hezbollah will control it."
Now what's happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.
Wha? Who? Kicked Hezb'allah out of where? Urged we send who into what? This is really an incredible gaffe - far more serious than anything Sarah Palin has ever said anywhere.
Let's allow a "Foreign Policy Insider" quoted at The Corner, to try and untangle this web of lies, misstatements, and downright loony contentions:

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
I am really embarrassed for Charles. It is surprising that he wasn’t knowledgeable enough himself, to catch all the gaffes and lies out of Biden.
Oh Charles, say it ain’t so.
Okay I'm going to shout.
WILL ALL FREEPERS PLEASE REFRAIN FROM LOOKING LIKE IGNORANT DOLTS BY MAKING FUN OF SEN. JOSEPH BIDEN FOR USING THE CORRECT WORD FOR MUSLIM SOUTH SLAVS: "BOSNIAKS"?
It's also sometimes spelled Bosniacs.
He was enumerating the ethno-religious groups in Bosnia--Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks--and he used the term correctly.
Make fun of his mangling of Middle Eastern affairs (France and the U.S. drove Hezbollah from Lebanon???! In what alternate universe?). Make fun of his misplacing Hamas in the West Bank instead of Gaza. Make fun of him for supporting the Balkan interventions on behalf of Muslim thugs like Thaci and Izetbegovic in the first place.
BUT STOP MAKING FUN OF HIM FOR USING THE WORD BOSNIAK CORRECTLY!!!

I used to call them Socialists, but that has changed since they destroy all opposition with lies and are trying to kill any media that opposes them.
::::::::::
...and if Obamunism wins, this is exactly what we will have. America will get its first real taste of oppressive, police state government laced with gobs of rank socialism. We are already part-way there with this MASSIVE socialist bailout that was a horribly bitter pill to swallow — and what makes it so bitter, is that the perps of this entire mess are free people to stick another dagger into the heart of our free Republic.....
I am beginning to think that most of FOX is in the tank for Obama.
How about when Biden said at the beginning that Iran is nowhere near getting a nuke, and then later said the Iraq war had brought Iran close to getting a nuke. Well which is it Joe?
The minutae of his gaffes are not as important as the fact that he knows little and lies about a lot and in an Obama Presidency he would be “THE EXPERT”. He seems to lie just to be lying—that is an illness. Standing over Obama’s shoulder he told us “to help him”. That translates into no one in that administration would know sh@t. How scary with enemies within and Islamic terrorists at out heels wanting out destruction.
I like him but he’s a wonk. But he’s our wonk. So is George Will. That’s why they don’t like Palin - intellectual elitism.
But why aren’t these being reported on the MSM? Even on FoxNews Channel?
As for Biden, he's delusional. This is how many times, now, he has just made things up as he goes along? His helicopter was nearly shot down in Afghanistan? A significant number of his gaffes are not just misstatements of fact, but outright lies! I think the guy is a pathological liar.
None of which precludes the Republicans and the McCain campaign in particular from pointing out all Biden's lies. You would think they would have learned from Bush the Elder's campaign in '92 that the truth does not magically find its way to the voters because it's the truth. If so, Bildo Klintoon would still be down in Arkansas.
It's maddening that they aren't pounding away at these. You know, I wasn't as enthused with Governor Palin's performance because I was so enraged at the unchallenged lies that Biden was spouting as well as when she let him say that she supports a windfall profits tax. Maybe I felt that way because I was listening on radio instead of watching on TV, but the day after or at least today (Saturday), they should be unmercifully hammering Chairman Mihouse and Plugs for all these lies. For crying, Chairman Milhouse is directly blaming McCain for the higher unemployment numbers.
And lest anyone think I have a problem with Governor Palin, I do not. She's the reason I have a McCain-Palin bumper sticker on my car, not him. I want the campaign to let her loose. In fact, they can make hay out of the windfall profits tax blunder by having her explain the difference between royalty payments and taxes and why Chairman Milhouse is so dead wrong on the issue. But you gotta get out there and start hitting hard. It's not negative when you beat your lying opponent black and blue with the truth.
Why do people insist these are “gaffes”? They are deliberate lies told by democrats to enhance the image of themselves.
Yes, it appears to be that they are.

They are inside the beltway castroti.

Joe Biden ponders his debate performance
Exactly. Dims can tell bold-faced lies because they know the media will support them no matter what they do.
“Bosniak means Bosnian? If Bosnian describes them, why do we need Bosniak? I think Biden made it up.”
