Former vice president and presidential hopeful Joe Biden confused Iraq with Iran twice while on the campaign trail on Tuesday.
"Iran's parliament voted to eject all Americans and coalition forces from the country," Biden said at a rally in New York. He made the mistake again when he said Trump threatened to get the United States into war with Iraq.
"I said not long ago that as the walls close in on this president, I worried that he was going to get us in war with Iraq," Biden said at private fundraiser in New York City.
Iraq's parliament approved a resolution calling for the removal of U.S. troops from the country in the wake of a drone strike on Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Biden condemned Trump's decision to eliminate Soleimani as "a huge escalatory move in an already dangerous region." This was a reversal from a 1996 interview, in which Biden described a bombing by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as an "act of war" and said the United States "could take whatever action it deems appropriate" to retaliate.
Biden has confused locations on the campaign trail before. He said he was in Ohio while campaigning in Iowa and he said he was in Iowa while campaigning in New Hampshire.
He falsely claimed he was vice president during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, which occurred in 2018. He defended the mistake by saying he was still called "vice president" at the time of the shooting. He also mistakenly said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated in the late 1970's, not the late 1960's.
Biden has said his stumbles occur due to fatigue and not due to a childhood stutter.
Or his several brain surgeries. Or his age.
The main problem with Joe is he’s an idiot.
It’s a low IQ thing
Seriously stuck on stupid.
Joe is FADING fast mentally.
Go be a grandfather to your new grandchild with the stripper already. The stripper your son impregnated while high on drugs. That one.
And the one in Arkansas!.................
Ever notice that Dem presidential candidates choose really stupid running mates for VP’s?..............
It could have been worse. Biden could have confused Iraq and Iran with Ireland.
Just like Stevie Wonder: “Iraq, Iran, Eurasia....don’t you worry ‘bout a thing”
Yup, Biden is a genius. Imagin’ him hitting the nuclear launch button while trying to dial-up a phone call number.
He probably needs cataract surgery too but is too vain to do it while campaigning.
Or Indiana...................

LOL, that was the first thing I thought of:

Eh, todo esta bien chevere, you understand that? (Chevere?)
Innervisions was such a rock-solid, great album. Still have my original vinyl - good stuff.

Me too. Stevie was at his peak on that album.
