Vice President Joe Biden in Iraq said the administration had fulfilled its campaign promises to end the war and refused to rule out a possible presidential bid in 2016.

Biden, who is meeting with Iraqi officials ahead of the deadline for the drawdown of American forces and will participate in ceremonies to honor U.S. and Iraqi troops, said that Iraq's government and military were ready to defend themselves. Biden will also visit Turkey and Greece before returning to Washington.

In an interview that aired on The Today Show Thursday, Biden once again left the door open for running for president in 2016.

"I am never ready to close the door on anything," Biden said. "I am intent on reelecting Barack Obama president of the United States of America. The rest will take care of itself."

Biden's comments mirror those he made in October in an interview with CNN.

"My one focus right now is getting the president reelected. I'll make up my mind on that later," Biden said to CNN. "I'm not closing any door. My job now and will be vice president of the United States and we got the order right — President Obama and Vice President Joe Bide

Between Biden’s delusions about running for President and Obama patting himself on the back about doing more for Israel than any other President, they both need to be removed for mental incompetence.

One of those plugs has grown inside his head and is strangling his last brain cell.

Don’t discourage him. It will be an easy win for the GOP.

Biden running for POTUS in 2016 would be AWESOME!

Obviously his winning would be a disaster, but running, that would be so fun. Seriously, if the Repubs can’t beat Slow Joe, we should disolve the party completely.
