BAGHDAD (AFP) – US Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he had come to Baghdad "to help Iraqis celebrate" progress, as he met Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on a surprise visit to the Iraqi capital.

Biden's unannounced tour of world hotspots had previously taken him to Kabul, where he met Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and to Islamabad, where he had talks with top Pakistani officials.

Sorry ... meant to say sarcastically that “I hope he ISN’T fired at in the Green Zone, like his big lie back in the campaign. Please do not send a SWAT team to my house.

Did Bite Me say he was fired at in the Green Zone?

What a bunch of BS.

What is it with these politicians making up these wild stories about their visits to conflict areas?

I’m trying to think where I would send his ass, if I were Obama. A South Pacific island maybe...

The War in Iraq was a total defeat of the US and was illegal. /sarcasm

When asked for a detailed account of the experience, Biden described three incidents on two separate Iraq trips in which he felt that he was shot at or might have been shot at.

ROFL!!

I've been here seven years (come next week) and was only shot at once...in a vehicle (armored) in central Baghdad.

And there isn't any "might have" when that happens.

Whadda moron he is.

You know Allegra, for all of his stupidity, one has to be rather fond of bungling Biden. He sort of reminds me of Hussain’s chief information officer. What was it we called him? Bagdad Bob?

It’s more fun at home. I’ve re-discovered beer (with alcohol).
