Biden: Out of touch !
OK media, here's your chance to demonstrate fairness. Biden on 'Meet the Press' today stated that 'We need to get Syria and Iran to stop arming the Shia'. Now, when McCain stated that Iran was arming Sunni insurgents, the media went into a frenzy, labeling him 'out of touch', since everyone knows that Iran is a Shiite government and that they are arming the Shia militias and that the Sunnis are their enemies. So where is the shock at Biden's statement, since the Syrian gov't is a Sunni gov't, they are a Baath party gov't like Sadaam's, and they support the Sunni insurgents. I expect that there will soon be a media frenzy questioning Biden's knowledge, his ability, even his mental health, like they did to McCain for essentially the exact same statement. But I won't hold my breath waiting.

Is Obama a Shia or a Sunni? I'm always getting these mixed up too.
If Obama were smart, he'd put some duct tape over Biden's mouth.
If Obama were smart he'd put some duct tape over his own mouth!!
A few more lipstick comments and he's done for!!!
Actually, although the Syrian government is Bathist (and a predominantly secular dictatorship), Assad has in fact been allied with Iran since at least 2005 due to his greater fear of America than the Persians. A simple Google search will demonstrate this is true as will your favorite "news" outlet: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,147764,00.html
So (at least in this case), Biden knew exactly what he was talking about.
