If Joe Biden has been sent out to deal with Iraq.... They’re bottom shelf.
I believe that the Shias and the Sunnis and the Kurds will always fight, with some more mixed in. That was my beginning prediction.
(1)Iraq is a non-OPEC, 3-million-barrels-a-day oil producer and is expected to pump 5 million per day in the next few years. U.S. DOE says: “Iraqs proven oil reserves are 115 billion barrels. . .largely based on 2-D seismic data from nearly three decades ago. Geologists. . .estimated that relatively unexplored territory in the western and southern deserts may contain an estimated additional 45 to 100 billion barrels (bbls) of recoverable oil.
(2) A population of more than 30 million provides a big market in Iraq for U.S. goods and services.
(3) The Iraqi military is trained and is being re-armed with U.S. weapons and systems. This makes Iraq a future U.S. arms customer as well as a military force whose doctrines, tactics and technology can integrate with U.S. forces when necessary.
As if little liberal weasels like Stephie and Biden EVER put their lives on the line.
Their job is passing judgment on those who show real courage.
Just tell the enemy exactly what we won't do, just so long as they increase the violence.
Viet Nam all over again.
Thanks Dems, I knew we could count on you to abandon another struggling ally and show the world America cannot be trusted.
Joe Biden, our own court jester.
I learned a long time ago never to trust or rely on my country when bullets started flying if Democrats were in charge.

You’d think biden would shut his piehole. After all, his son beau is still stationed in iraq.
Case-Church Amendment.
Not to put down anyone's service, especially in Iraq, but Biden's son is a JAG and not in the combat arms. He's not exactly going in harm's way. If this was Vietnam, he'd be called a REMF.
This tour is his resume builder for when he is awarded the Senate seat that was arranged for him by his father and is held by some doofus hack place-holder.
“our own court jester” -—
Breitbart has something about Biden —

Yesterday, Independence Day, Vice President Joe Biden attended a naturalization ceremony at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq. During the ceremony 237 U.S. servicemen from 59 countries, including Iraq, were sworn in as citizens of the United States of America. At the conclusion of this solemn, undoubtedly moving and inspirational occasion, and in the presence of his own son Beau (currently serving in the 261st Theater Tactical Signal Brigade, Delaware Army National Guard), this is what the Vice President of the United States had to say: As corny as it sounds, he told the troops, [expletive], Im proud to be an American!

But if theres one person, in one scenario, who should never, ever feel that its corny to be proud to be an American, it would be:
- The Vice President of the United States.
- Surrounded by hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women.
- Who have just become U.S. citizens.
- In a war zone.
- On Independence Day.

Nothing that comes out of Biden’s mouth surprises me. He’s certainly in the top 10 of Useless Idiots in Washington and there’s a ton of them in Congress.
