Biden, While Bragging About His Foreign Policy Prowess, Confuses Battalions With Brigades

For the third time in a week.

[H]eralding his own experience, Biden also said he “know(s) as much as anyone in government about” national security and foreign policy.

And for the third time since his acceptance speech a week ago, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confused battalions and brigades.

“Over a year and a half ago,” Biden said of Obama. “He said we need two more combat battalions in Afghanistan.”

Actually, Obama called for two more combat brigades.

A brigade is bigger than a battalion — a brigade, in fact, is composed of a varying number of battalions.

The first time Biden did it I was thinking: “Meh, just a slip of the tongue.”  The third time?  I’m thinking he really doesn’t know the difference.  And that’s a ilttle scary coming from the guy Obama chose to shore up his foreign policy deficiencies.

I mean, if Palin made a slip like this the media/left (same thing) would be atwitter with claims that she’s “not ready to lead.”

With that mouth and those french cuffs, somebody ought to warn the Senator to stay out of the men’s room at the Minneapolis airport.

Hair looks good though.  Wish my tomato plants had come in as well this year.

Maybe he was busy comparing his IQ with critics and didn’t have time to bone up for the speech.

Well he is the VP canidate that said his own running mate was not qualified to be President due to lack of experience. Sounds like someone I want to be a heartbeat away to Commander In Chief (sarcasm)

I think Klan wing of the party that still runs it demanded Biden.

You know Robert Byrd and his buddies.
