Oh no: Biden not lying about war-zone action again, is he?

Just passing along the info from lefty site TrueSlant. I’m frankly shocked to think they’d accuse our serially lying VP of lying serially.
As Emil points out, August 17, the day that Biden visited, was several days after fighting stopped in Georgia, and the BBC’s timeline (as well as several others I checked, many of which don’t even extend to the 17th) indicates nothing that would indicate much fighter jet activity or artillery fire. That’s not to say that there wasn’t a jet here and a round fired there, but as the photo indicates, it wasn’t much of a claim to bravery under fire. But we need to wait for Sinbad, I think, before we can really pass judgment on Biden’s claim. And give the guy a break, he’s probably just trying to impress the hot post-Soviet women.
Our posts still had Russians in Georgia as of July 17 and even later, so Greasy Joe’s war stories aren’t impossible, just … improbable. Exit question: Any willingness to grant him the benefit of the doubt as VP? I’m guessing … no.

Dammit Joe, show us your little purple hearty man.
Lincoln Cadillac on July 23, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Maybe Joe needs to talk to God also. Couldn’t hurt.

He’s been getting too much advice from Hillary.
JonRoss on July 23, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Joe’s gaffes have lost their appeal, the press think it’s cute and no one takes him serious.
Cindy Munford on July 23, 2009 at 9:14 PM
If Sinbad doesn’t show up, will Slow Joe have to settle for Gallagher?

I will b%tch slap the birther that makes Greasy Joe the POTUS.

I always believe Joe. He’s a regular guy from Scranton and regular guys from Scranton do not lie.
Or exagerate.
Or embellish.
myrenovations on July 23, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Biden’s lies are way less damaging to the nation’s future than Obama’s. I’d still rather have him as President
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:15 PM
I can’t wait gang, I’m going to a minor league baseball game next Thursday here in Wilmington and they’re giving away Joe Biden bobbleheads…. I’m thinking about printing out that picture of Greasy from the home page and taping it on said doll so I have a continuous influx of Biden Smirk!!! Exit question: Do you all think I can use that Bobblehead as a Voodoo doll???
Delaware Vol on July 23, 2009 at 9:19 PM
I thought he was eating at Katies or something!
SouthernGent on July 23, 2009 at 9:19 PM
You guessed right…………….
……… but not that he is the VP, it is because he is a lying, classless, political hack, piece of sh%t, that will have no problem selling what is left of his soul and lie through his teeth just in order to get a good head line.
Then wake up in the morning, defecate, and do it all over again…….
Seven Percent Solution on July 23, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Well, maybe Biden believes it…I mean he really believes it…even if it never happened.
He signed on to be the straight man for the clown…or is it the other way around? Anyway, consider the source…he honestly really believes it.
The top two office holders in the Nation…both delusional.
Sleep well, America.

Biden’s delusions are relatively harmless, Bama’s are not.
Biden for TOTUS-user in chief
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Amen to that. He could do things a lot worse than that. Who knows, maybe he’ll score and start building a deep relationship with the fledgling democracy.
Sort of like the English Prince Marrys the French Princess, ending the current conflict.
Is Joe married?

Hey guys, nothing about the massive sting in New Jersey?
It’s a pretty big omission from the headlines.
Oh BTW, Biden is full of it.

AZCoyote on July 23, 2009 at 9:24 PM
The sad and pathetic thing about the people here in Delaware is that they are genuinely “proud” that Joe is the VP—they think he’s doing a FIIIIINNNNEEEE job… LOL!!!
Delaware Vol on July 23, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Kid’s do that as do crazy old people exaggerating their glory days. No harm. Obama lying about budget and health care…BIG harm. Gigantic. Biden said they underestimated the economic problem and the porkulus might not work. He’s a bit more honest than Barry when it counts.
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:25 PM

jukin on July 23, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Nope. It smells like Kerry’s Christmas in Cambodia, Hillary dodging sniper fire in Tuszla and Tom Harkin flying missions over Hanoi or the number of Jobs that Obama saved/created along with his birth certificate. At least Hillary has visited All 57 States during the last campaign.
Where do you find idiots like these? Look in the dictionary under either liar or Democrat Candidates for President. Telling lies when the truth could serve you better is a character trait.
old trooper2 on July 23, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Nice beaches in Delaware, Dewey and Rehobeth were great fun. Nice state even if Biden is from there, Delaware can hold its head up proudly and say “we are not Chicago”
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Stand up Joe!!!
Seven Percent Solution on July 23, 2009 at 9:27 PM
I’m beginning to think Joe’s actually mentally ill. And he’d still be a less dangerous President than Bambi.

Biden should join the one’s prayer group, aint no athiest under fire.

Stand up, snipers! God love ya.
LibTired on July 23, 2009 at 9:28 PM
I have completed a detailed, thorough analysis of the photo. I have been able to confirm it is a genuine photo, with no digital manipulation.
My analysis also shows that, contrary to what seems obvious, the VP is in fact shielding the lady from incoming sniper rounds. What appears to be a handshake is actually a secret SOCOM “I’m saving your life” grip, used by only the most elite Special Forces around the world.
Clearly, the VP is placing his life in mortal danger in order save the
hot Post-Soviet babeunknown woman.BobMbx on July 23, 2009 at 9:29 PM
And Jill Biden would be better than MO.
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:30 PM
You may want to retract that statement before someone calls you on it unless you want to test the limits on your Obama Care Health insurance.
old trooper2 on July 23, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Joe just threw Georgia under the bus….
While saying Russia should withdraw its forces from two separatist Georgian regions, Biden also said Georgia should abandon any hopes of reclaiming those regions by force.
Honk Honk
Knucklehead on July 23, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Yup. Much rather have Dear Leader go back to Chicago and eat some waffles or something. (And absolutely no violence to The One — just in case some lefty troll thinks I want that. I don’t.)

clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Slack? Hell, the defeated Repub candidate for VP hasn’t gotten any slack yet – so to hell with the confirmed moron that won. Slack – ha.
Midas on July 23, 2009 at 9:38 PM
FLASH! Breaking….
This just in. Joe’s been confused all this time and attributes what the press and right wing whack jobs have been calling “gaffes” to a misunderstanding that developed during his studies with Socrates, Aristotle and Gorgo the Greek barber back in the early days of Greece, when knowledge was just being invented.
According to Biden, he had always understood it this way:
If you say something that’s not true and you know it’s not true and everybody else knows it’s not true, then it’s not a lie.
You see, a lie is saying something that’s not true. But if you know it’s not true, then it’s not the truth but it’s not all the way to a lie. It’s somewhere in between.
And he cites as authority a personal conversation he had with Aristotle as the water was rising in the hold of the Titanic. Unfortunately, Aristotle didn’t make it and, therefore, Joe never had the opportunity to clear this up.

Maybe ACORN will bring Obama’s popularity to its knees.
I would sleep better with Biden in the WH, I don’t think he wants to see America knee capped the way Bama does
clnurnberg on July 23, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Obama can’t send this clown far enough away.
They had to get Joe out of the country so he wouldn’t sabotage the health care debate, and yet, Biden continues to make headlines from “Siberia”.
What a tragic farce this administration is.

Christien on July 23, 2009 at 9:53 PM
The real sad part? Joe thinks (or wants you to think) that the whole foreign contingency WTF? is winnable by simply putting Osama Bin Laden under arrest ( or under the dirt at some civilian packed wedding party/Al Q meeting). You have to wonder who has been so successful at shielding the enemy of the west for all these years. Didn’t America win WW1 and WW2 in less time than it took to figure out that reinforcing a theater might lead to dominance in a desired area of gold foil covered spinning bags of Iraqi feces?
Ever wonder who is playing you this way and why?

I remember when it was Mullah Omar bobble head night here in the western end of Afghannie. I was on a super duper top secret mission to rid the world of these evil men and save Bush’s presidency. Luckily, while flying in, I was able to parachute out just before the Blackhawk was shot down by the Talllleeeeban. We saved 13 Camels that day.

FlyoverJ-HawkFan on July 23, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Biden: It’s really great to be here in Georgia. I know people talk about Georgia being a bunch of crackers, but let me tell ya something: I’d rather be with you people than the finest people in the world. But listen if you remember anything I say remember this: In the next six months the Russians are gonna test you – and Barack. I’m telling you now so you’ll be ready when it happens. Gird your loins tight with a scout’s knot, because I gotta tell ya, it won’t be clear when those russian tanks are demolishing your parliament that we’re doing the right thing! All I ask is – trust us. Trust us on this. But gird your loins, because it’s coming.

Scoff if you must, but Obama picked Slow Joe as his running mate strictly because of his impressive tales of heroic adventure — especially that one about being in the old Negro space program.
Terrie on July 24, 2009 at 1:22 AM
AP! can see how one might fall into trap of, is this a real question or a rhetorical one!. After all, we clear minded thinking American knows that the vp just loves the spotlight, give unexpected truth gabs while tucked into the middle of his lips of disingenuous speeches. vp was slow to react to situation and was caught behind-like bo.
Just Joe being Joe : (. He truely means well..

Hey everybody. Joe Biden, International Man of Mystery here. I just wrote a song I’d like to share with you all:
“Ukraine girls really knock me out
they leave the West behind.
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
and Georgia’s always on my my my my my list of countries where I stared danger in the face and lived to tell the tale.”
Like it?
Noel on July 24, 2009 at 1:36 AM
most photos of Joe create that reaction….except when they makes us barf.
Fighton03 on July 24, 2009 at 2:10 AM
Masterfully done! Your lyrics beautifully meld Biden’s appreciation for Eastern European women with his penchant for fictitious derring-do and his reputation for plagiarism.

From a report running on Fox News’ website. NK has rejected the Obama administration’s latest offer of goodies to bribe it into behaving. They threw it back in Clinton’s face, along with some choice insults.
Just another example of how the Obama administration is restoring the world’s respect for the U.S.
