Biden Managed To Unite Shiites And Sunnis Through Sheer Stupidity

The man The Messiah has tapped to shore up his weaknesses on foreign policy is being credited in Iraq with uniting the nation’s warring Shiite and Sunni factions.

The problem?  He united them through the near universal rejection of his plans for the country.

  Across racial and religious boundaries, Iraqi politicians on Saturday bemoaned Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama’s choice of running mate, known in Iraq as the author of a 2006 plan to divide the country into ethnic and sectarian enclaves…

  Ezzet al-Shabender, a member of parliament from the secularist Iraqi List of former prime minister Ayad Allawi, actually credited the broad-based disgust triggered by Biden’s proposal for helping Iraqi politicians bury their differences.

  “His project was the reason behind the unity of many political blocs that once differed in viewpoints,” he said, comparing it to the Balfour Declaration, a 1917 British note that backed the creation of Israel and is regarded across the Arab world as the ultimate colonial injustice.

  “Such a person, if he would assume the vice-presidency post, would not serve to improve Iraq-USA relations.”

Now that’s change you can believe in.
