That superhighway of terror

Alert reader Phil Walter found this classic Biden quote. In September of 2008, Biden was addressing the National Guard Association and the subject of the war in Afghanistan arose:

If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.

Sounds like he was duking it out with the terrorists! Well, no, actually, his helicopter had to make an emergency landing due to a snow storm. Could have been a terrorist-generated snow storm, though, hard to say.

And then in the same speech in regards to John McCain's assertion that he'd follow Al Qaeda to the gates of hell:

You don’t have to go to hell. Just go to Pakistan. Just go to that area. That superhighway of terror that exists between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Bombast, thy name is Biden!
