Biden Heading To Baghdad Amid Election Tensions

[CWOJackson]

An upcoming election intended to ease Iraq's sectarian rifts is instead dredging up old hostilities — with the White House sending Vice President Joe Biden to smooth tensions between the Shiites who hold power and the Sunnis who want a greater slice of it.

Biden would be my first pick...if I wanted to start a civil war there.

And why exactly would anyone believe Iraqi Shias and Sunnis are interested in Joe Shmoe's opinion.

Or does Obama just want to get him out of the house for a while. . .

I think you might have hit on something there Toastie! :thumbs up:

His mouth by itself is a loose cannon and a war zone is not the place to be sending this buffoon. This goes to show how much Obama thinks about the military. As if they didn't have enough to deal with from all the treasonous statements from the democrats while Bush was in office. These pricks don't give a damn about how their stupid political gymnastics put our military at risk.
