From the AP: Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday called the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates to clarify that he did not mean to imply in his remarks last week that the Gulf ally was supporting al-Qaida fighters in Syria.
Biden spoke with Prince Mohamed bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and a key Emirati leader, the White House said.
It was the second time in two days that Biden had to call a key partner in President Barack Obama's coalition to walk back comments he made on Thursday, when he said that U.S. allies - including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE - had funded and armed extremist groups linked to al-Qaida.
Earlier Sunday, an exasperated UAE requested "a formal clarification" from Biden on comments that America's allies in the Middle East sent weapons and cash to extremists fighting in Syria. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_EMIRATES_US?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-10-05-15-39-58
As I said before, Biden is probably the only reason why there is no serious talk about impeaching President Obama, who without even a slightest doubt, is the worst and most corrupt president ever.
