Jen Psaki says Biden was 'running point on Iraq' in apparent attempt to shift blame from Obama for ISIS debacle.
At the daily State Department briefing on Friday, the blame-game over the Obama policy catastrophes of Iraq and Syria seems to have gone super-nova, when Jen Psaki, the State Department Spokesperson, appeared to insulate President Barack Obama, and directly indict Vice President Joe Biden over the debacle, by claiming the 2009-2011 Iraq total withdrawal “was the Vice President’s portfolio.”
In a peppery questioning of Spokesperson Psaki by a reporter, the reporter constantly interjected “So it’s his [Biden’s] fault,” and Psaki didn’t reject the accusation out-of-hand. Instead, Psaki pointedly let the accusation go virtually unchallenged while she finished her response.
While she eventually halfheartedly denied Iraq was Biden’s “fault,” Psaki immediately pointedly re-emphasized that, “I was saying, actually making the point – and it’s well known – that the Vice President had this [the Iraqi] portfolio . . . that we elevated it [the Iraqi portfolio] to the Vice President. That was who was running point on Iraq."
During her response, Psaki specifically failed to remotely mention that President Obama had any decision-making role in the “Iraqi-portfolio.”
The State Department Spokesperson’s clear attempt to pin the Iraqi debacle and ISIS on Biden could point to a finger-pointing meltdown inside the Administration itself, and raises many additional questions. Did President Obama himself, sanction Psaki’s attempt to call Iraq “Biden’s portfolio,” or was it Secretary Kerry’s decision?
It appears there had to be an “executive decision” by Psaki’s superiors before she would have explicitly staked out her “Iraq was Biden’s portfolio” response.

Hey,this is a BFD!
LOL.
If Biden runs for President, I’d love to hear him complain about Obama’s Administration to distance himself from the destruction
Dude, that was like three years ago!
So it will now be Psaki and Harf taking cheap shots at each other?
Oh boy, can’t wait till Hillary’s name comes up.
FYI-She wouldn’t let (I think Psaki) any place near the State Dept. while she was there because of the nasty crap she had her hands in back in 08 When Hillary was running against Nero.
Joe Biden: I have 5 words for this, “Obama threw me under the bus.”
wow. i guess they’re running out of people to blame stuff on.
wouldn’t the guy who hired the #2 guy and is supposed to be in charge of him still be the guy to take the blame for not correcting him, knowing he’s botching something important “in his portfolio”?
wow.
psaki and harf.
sounds like a japanese description of what you do after drinking really bad saki.
Biden: Gee, I’ve never seen the underside of a bus before!...............
Biden asked for this. He’s been running around bragging about us getting our of Iraq for several years. I think he planned on using it as a campaign talking point. The administration realized it would be easy to put the blame on him since he was taking credit anyway.
and another five: and here i thought he was clean and articulate. he’s dirty and can’t string two words together without a teleprompter. yeah i get a lot of words for five, right? i don’t need a g-damn teleprompter, i may put my foot in my mouth sometimes but i know what the hell i’m tryin to say. nobody has to spoon-feed me what i believe. effin little punk ass homo. (meltdown continues, media cuts away..)
It seems blaming Biden was the plan all along - see here:
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/06/obama-gives-biden-iraq-assignment/
Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said “The buck stops here.”
Obama’s sign says “The dinar DOE NOT stop here.”
wouldn’t it be the riyal? don’t the saudis call their sand money rials/riyals?
I guess that’s why Biden was bragging about their success. Man, he is really stupid.
I thought they called it dinar. I know Iran calls theirs riyal. Whatever it is, Obama claims it.
This is so pathetic. Bambi takes no responsibility for anything other than what libs think is something good. And even then most of the time it is bad for the nation.
But I never thought I'd ever see anything like this.
The Clintons have a new ally in Biden...and probably nearly everyone else in the Dem Party.
After the mid-terms I have no doubt there will be Dem calls for Impeachment.
