Biden standing at a lectern with a few people standing behind him including Harry Reid.
Biden asks the crowd 'How many of you know someone who served in Iraq or IRAN that was killed?, raise your hand' Harry Reid raised his hand.
Biden asks the crowd 'How many of you know someone who served in Iraq or IRAN that was injured?, raise your hand'. Harry Reid again raised his hand.
Seems our VP thinks we have had people serving in IRAN and our U.S. Senate majority leader not only thinks that but knows people who served in IRAN and were killed or injured. Are these people dumb dolts or what?

The man is a raving gaffe machine, which of course the media ignores.

First of all, he said 'or', not 'and'. When one uses 'or' it means it can be just one, or the other.

But maybe Reid knew some of the guys who were wounded in Iran. Can you explain your indignation? I'm not getting it.

I agree, he did say or, but he may as while said

Iraq or Canada
Iraq or Australia

Btw, Biden is supposed to be the foreign affairs expert, giving to the administration what Obama lacks

But we did have men wounded when we fought in Iran. I already posted a link, did you bother to read it? This whole thread is based on a non-issue.

So OP, it looks like you spiked the ball and did your happy dance and back flips before you even bothered to look down and see you weren't even in the end zone. Looks like you're the one with gaffe on his face. How embarrassing it must be to originate such a foolish thread.
