Say It Ain't So, Joe

..the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable..

the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable You just gotta love Joe Biden. Though there is a lot of excitment and speculation as to how the mission to kill or capture bin Laden went down, most security officials are rather circumspect as to specifics. Here is a typical Q and A between a member of the press and a Pentagon defense official:

Q: "Can I ask you, can you confirm that it was a (Navy) SEAL team? And was this a specially designated team that had been practising or reviewing intelligence for a while and they were the unit of choice?"

A:"Not going to comment on units or numbers."

Now here is our Vice President at a dinner at the Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel last night:

"Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday."

And a little later in the evening:

"Folks, I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday. As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs. It just was extraordinary."

This is the guy that the Dems were so sure had the experience and gravitas that made him an excellent VP choice over the hapless and silly Sarah Palin.

What a maroon!
