    ahh okay. I get it! Thanks Asher! Let me make sure I got it right. Biden went to Afghanistan (can we infer from that that he was probably briefed?), but it took a snow storm forcing his helicopter down and a perimeter being set up (wait...are you infering that? Maybe I missed it in the article) for him to realize where the Taliban were.
    It's only because I like Ming that I'm not tearing you a new one right now.

    Suffice to say, the disingenuous nature of this post is about Biden's comment x100.

    Biden added that he was forced down in Afghanistan in an unplanned location, which happened to be an area where there is known Taliban activity. He's inferring he's been there and he's been in some kind of danger by having Taliban nearby. He did not say he was shot down, I would never assume that and I don't know why you did.

    I actually do know why you did, but to say you were being a biased little twit would be to break Ming's guidelines telling me to be nice. So, let's just say some people interpret things differently, and that's your problem.

      Hey...Did I just get taken to the woodshed?

      However, Please show me where I assumed that he infered that he had been shot down? I must be missing it somewhere.

      Oh...Note to Ming: Let Asher tear away! He looks like he needs to go on a roll.

        It sounds like Biden was just trying to sound macho just like McCain was when he said he and only he knew where OBL was and only he could get OBL. It's stupid posturing by politicians.

          When did he say this? Wouldn't people be pretty pissed if he claims to be keeping it secret from the rest of us?
          Unbelievable!

I was five at the time, and Wikipedia notes that the photo-op backfired but doesn't explain why.
                You answered your own question. He looks goofy as hell. Which, of course, was natural.

                          I was one of those people just like right now I'm making fun of Biden saying he was acting macho and doing stupid posturing. Just like I made fun of McCain when he claimed he had secret information which meant only he knew how to capture OBL. It's all lame claims and posturing by politicians.

                            I could use some good shawarma right now or maybe a nice falafal on pita sandwich.

                              I'm more than willing to call them like they are, and this is most definitely a goof by Biden on the level (and very similar to) the Hillary goof. He clearly intended to get political traction out of "my helicopter was forced down", and he didn't mean his listeners to think "because of snow" ...
                              He obviously intended it to draw some emtional shock value. Calling it a "goof" on terms of Hillary's "sniper" incident is a bit off though... unless you mean that the Hillary thing wasn't a big deal either.

                              If that's the worst the GOP can come up with against the Democrats Obama can start picking out the wallpaper now.

                                Oh, come on, it's obvious what he was trying to do.

                                No where near as ridiculous as Clinton's out-and-out lie, but still pretty nucking futs.
