Speaking to ABC News’ “This Week” today, Vice President Joe Biden declared that it was “too early to make a judgment” about how many troops would be withdrawn in July 2011, and that it was possible that only a trivial number of troops would actually be pulled out of the nation.
This was in stark contrast to Biden’s comments from only last month, in which he promised “a whole lot” of troops would be leaving in July no matter what. The comment was quickly rejected by a number of other officials, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and had not been mentioned against by Biden until now.
It may seem curious that Biden’s official stance would make such a dramatic shift in only one month’s time, particularly when the situation on the ground has scarcely changed (the situation has worsened, to be sure, but this was predictable).
While a number of officials have been rejecting the July 2011 date virtually since it was announced, Vice President Biden’s comments appear to be the final nail in the coffin for even the pretense that the date will have any meaning. President Obama has also publicly disavowed the drawdown date in recent weeks.
Biden reminds me very much of George W Bush. Biden is as stupid as Bush was, as ignorant, and as incompetent. He would be better employed as a used-car salesman (for vehicles under $2,000).
How does America manage to choose so many pathetic leaders? Do they play 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'?
Biden’s like the Rodney Dangerfield of the administration-he don’t get no respect.
This is a drama going on in Afghanistan to kill the people for their nationalism under the pretext of Al-Qaida which does,nt exists. This is correct if once lie will have to lie always.
The main problem is the people sitting in white house and know nothing about the facts on ground.This is biggest tragedy of mankind that centralism has taken place in every administration. How can america decide for Afghans what is good and what is bad for them. The same problem is with Islamabad that the administration has cecome killers of their own people on t
Biden is a closet Nazi scum.
He's the Zionist's puppet and thats all that matters.
Bush's spirit has entered Biden and he is now the one to hear from God an serve his "Chosen People".
"To early to make a judgment…" Almost nine years is "too early?" Would it be 'too early' to conclude that Joe 'zionista' Biden is out of his freaking mind?
It's more like put the jackass in office.
After two Clintons, two WBushes and now an Obama, is their any doubt left in anyone's mind that the two parties in collusion with the mainstream media and the bankers have rigged every election since Carter?
Or that the corrupt lawmakers (like 6 term Biden) are continually reelected? Not for me their isn't. The entire process, the three separate branches of government have become the largest organized crime syndicate in the world.
It doesn't seem very curious to me that he would back off what he said a month ago. This war, like Iraq, has been run on an extremely ad hoc basis. There is no plan because there is no goal. The thinking on this war is being done on the fly. Sometimes they'll make a decision or statement for militarily strategic reasons but then they'll go back on it when they get push back politically. This war is being fought for extremely narrow domestic reasons, the domestic reasons being for the most part office politics and trying not to look foolish to their peers. I think this type of decision making is the ultimate outcome of our winner-takes-all elections, which pushes the most competitive and egotistical people to the top, who's mentality is to try and justify every decision they make rather than looking at rational criticism as being beneficial. Again, as long as we have a government that puts this amount of power in a small coterie of people's hands who are as far from the consequences of the decisions they make as the people in Washington are, we will continue to get wars like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ol' Joe is a piece of work. Mr. Gaffe-o-matic strikes again. Where do we get these clowns? And when will Americans stop voting for them?
