Joe Biden finally grows a brain – defends Israel over terrorist flotilla

Joe_Biden_300Quite possibly the dumbest individual in the Obama regime finally showed some smarts. While Hillary Clinton joined the condemnation of Israel, Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday defended Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and its decision to intercept the terrorist flotilla bringing humanitarian claiming to bring “aid” to the coastal territory according to Haaretz, Biden in an interview with Charlie Rose, pointed out that Israel had given pro-Palestinian terrorist activists the option of unloading their cargo at the Ashdod port, and offered to bring it to the Gaza Strip on their behalf. Of course, you don’t hear about that in the lame stream media.

“They’ve said, ‘Here you go. You’re in the Mediterranean. This ship — if you divert slightly north you can unload it and we’ll get the stuff into Gaza,’”, he said. “So what’s the big deal here? What’s the big deal of insisting it go straight to Gaza? Well, it’s legitimate for Israel to say, ‘I don’t know what’s on that ship. These guys are dropping… 3,000 rockets on my people.

“Look, you can argue whether Israel should have dropped people onto that ship or not — but the truth of the matter is, Israel has a right to know — they’re at war with Hamas — has a right to know whether or not arms are being smuggled in.”

    maybe biden needs to remind obama of the fact that the flotilla was asked to divert for a check – if they were so innocent (and we know they were not) they would have – but then we all know that this was a ruse to stir up an international uproar and once again israel is dammed by the world….obama should watch out – he is angering many supporters who are no longer going support his election in 2012
