Joe Biden is an idiot

He tells Netanyahu that new apartment construction in East Jerusalem was about to "set the Middle East on fire"... and more:

THE Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, was set to withdraw from all peace talks with Israel last night after the announcement this week that 1600 apartments would be added to Jewish settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.

The announcement enraged the visiting US Vice-President, Joe Biden, who has told the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that it was liable to ''set the Middle East on fire''.

Mr Biden blames Mr Netanyahu for the decision, telling officials on Wednesday that the United States' close relationship with Israel was jeopardising its other bilateral relationships across the region.

''This is starting to get dangerous for us,'' he reportedly castigated Israeli officials. ''What you're doing here undermines the security of our troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. That endangers us and it endangers regional peace.''

Hmm... doesn't that sound a lot like something Ahmadinejad might say?  Or Osama? 

Unbelievable... but then again... it is Joe Biden.

"Joe Biden is an idiot"

But you repeat yourself.

If this is "restoring our credibility in the world community" I'd hate to see Crazy Uncle Joe trying to piss people off.

[Skeptic]

Actually, this does NOT sound like something Osama or Ahmadejinad would say. They repeatedly note that Israel must be destroyed no matter what it does, or doesn't do.

[Joe's simply cool]

Ha...you know as well as most others that Joe Biden is at the opposite end of the idiot scale. Good attempt here, but he just keeps getting things done and will never respond to nonsense like this. It's probably why he'll always come out on top and it drives his detractors plum crazy.

Get over it and move on...Joe does :)
