Exactly, where would Joe Biden have gotten his training in military tactics? I am certain he has to ask for help when taking that first strategic step in the morning, which shoe I tie first. Why would the White House publicly admit Obama is considering anything Biden is behind when it comes to anything little loan an Afghanistan strategy.
Answer:Obama is waiting to take his advise from the far left and we know what that means! Biden is a gaff and no one listens to him. Obama is upset with Mc Crystal stating he should not have given an interview to 60 minutes the general saw it as a way to inform Americans of what the options are yet Obama who refuses to talk with the man (because he has no clue as to what is going on). Obama will find a way of firing this General for insubordination mark my words! This way Obama has a scape goat in either way he decides. Obama must realize that Al Queada will invade Pakistan if we pull out and take over the nuclear war heads and they have plenty and they work. Obama is a joke he can go to Copenhagen for the Olympics yet take a life time to decide on a life and death situation typical radical!
