(CNSNews.com) – Vice-President Joe Biden’s stinging assessment that Sunni allies had been “our largest problem” in fueling extremism in Syria – comments for which he has now apologized – are in contrast to remarks he made two years ago when he said the U.S. was “working hand in glove” with those countries on Syria.

Back then, Biden assured Americans that the administration and Sunni nations in the region were closely cooperating in their response to the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

“We are working hand in glove with the Turks, with the Jordanians, with the Saudis and with all the people in the region, attempting to identify the people who deserve the help so that when Assad goes – and he will go – there will be a legitimate government that follows on, not an al-Qaida-sponsored government that follows on,” he said during an Oct. 2012 debate against Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan.

The ironic thing here is that Biden was spot on with his assessment. Crazy Joe just got his hand slapped for speaking the truth. Speaking the truth to our Arab allies is like shining a light on cockroaches—they don’t like it and scurry for cover.

“Hand in glove”?

Biden only works foot in mouth.

Does anyone need any further proof that the Obama Administration was responsible for arming and funding the Islamic State?

Moderate Syrian Rebels = ISIL and A.Q.

Obama continues to arm Islamic terrorists.

Domestically, Obama labels Conservatives and Christians as terrorists.

Obviously when the people running the Govt call the American people terrorists, the real terrorists are running the Govt.

WHY are they letting Joe out of his cage, these days? We haven’t heard his gaffs for months on end! Methinks it’s because Life, as we know it, is pretty much over...

Comic relief and subterfuge for The Masses? WTF?

At LEAST give me Bread and a Circus!

“We heart Sunni Eastasians!” Josef Biden

17 of the 19 9-11 hijackers were Eastasians.
Are we at war with Eurasia now?
Why would we be allied with Nazis in 1946?
Just to be safe, let’s up Joe’s thorazine, hmmm?

Incestuous magic tricks from the white-gloved Jokester and the peaceniks of the “religion of peace” to roust up the bitter-clingers of the quran.

He’s merely taking the heat off Obama — that’s his job.
