Biden's Missing Brain

Biden's Hezbollah Moment

When we kicked – along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and barack said, ‘Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know--- if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.’

Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.
-Joey Biden, Debate


I missed that from Biden.  Peolly was still in my pout over Sarah's failure to attack Biden and Dems for Fannie Mae.  Michael Medved responds.

I defy any rational observer to explain what, precisely, Biden was talking about in this bizarre fantasy altogether untethered from any historical reality.

No, we never kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon – not with France, not with anyone else. As matter of fact, Hezbollah kicked us out of Lebanon back in ’82 and ’83, after murdering 261 US Marines and another 60 Americans at our embassy.

Is there any actual record of Biden and Barack saying “move NATO forces in there” to avoid Hezbollah control?


Of course Medved wouldn't ask the question unless he knew the answer.  But, as alaways when dealing with The Him ...

The deeper question about Biden’s ludicrous gaffe involves the amazing reluctance of anyone in the mainstream media to question it. Has anyone asked him to apologize or clarify or justify his lame-brained excursion into the foreign policy twilight zone?

Hell, I even missed Joe's Restaurant to Nowhere!

Nothing Biden said matters. He could have made 2 dozen even more egregious gaffes, could have said we lost WWll, and It. Wouldn't. Matter.

OTOH, Sarah mispronounces the lead general's name in Afghanistan and it's been a vilification week for her.

How anyone is still deciding which candidate to vote for is beyond me. The straw I'm clinging to is in past elections, the left dominated MSM always comes out with favorable polls for their candidate. As so aptly pointed out by you Rog, a little while back.
