Biden: Bin Laden killing most 'audacious' plan in 500 years
Politico ^ | March 19, 2012 | Jennifer Epstein

Vice President Joe Biden is the biggest cheerleader of the president's decision to raid Osama bin Laden's compound and, on Monday, he offered new praise for the choice Obama made last spring.

“You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan. Never knowing for certain. We never had more than a 48 percent probability that he was there,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Morris Township, N.J.

“This man is quite probably psychotic and delusional.”

I think you’re right; all kidding aside I think Biden probably would qualify for commitment to a psych ward his grasp of reality is so attenuated.

Where does that ass-clown pull these numbers from?

Studies show that 78.37% of all statistics cited on the Internet are made up.

The drooling half-wit (apologies to half-wits) hasn’t figured out that most people including his party of traitors actually knows that the operation to get OBL started with GWB and Cheney.

This jackass has seriously surpassed the idiocy of algore and it is kind of difficult to find any VP in history as completely bereft of higher brain function than this POS.

Normandy, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the Doolittle Raid, The Crossing of the Delaware - all are easy decisions compared to Obama’s Go or No-Go decision over killing Osama.

The vice presidential nomination is usually completely up to the presidential nominee to decide and it is his first major decision he has to make. That Obama picked an embarrassing idiot like Biden tells us a lot about Obama's judgment and seriousness of purpose--just as George W. Bush's choice of Dick Cheney told us a lot about GWB.

The only times in recent history when it wasn't a question of the presidential nominee making the decision were in 1956, when Adlai Stevenson allowed the convention to decide, and 1960, when Lyndon Johnson blackmailed Kennedy into picking him (Kennedy had intended to pick Stuart Symington). At least that is how Seymour Hersh tells the story.

Mao’s and Zhang’s absolutely crazed kidnap of Chiang Kai-shek is also really high up there, I mean, the Xian incident has affected history as much as the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki... and it was pulled off by slight of hand.

Warlord Zhang gave an interview about it before he passed away:

I think the roman army marched about 40 hours overnight and surprised the enemy at dawn.

Didn’t the Vietnamese dig through a mountain with hand tools and surround the French headquarters?

No helicopters, modern communications, and the audacity and determination to get it done.

Of course, Joe Biden also thinks he’s always the smartest guy in the room.

Within his circles, he probably is..............

Battle of Midway? Nah. Just a bunch of lucky, rich, white racists' unprovoked attack on the Japanese Fleet in international waters back in 1942.
