If Ignorance is Bliss, Biden Would Be The Happiest Man Alive…

Normally, people have SNAFUs all the time, no biggie right? However, when a person says: “he know(s) as much as anyone in government about” national security and foreign policy, and then displays ignorance about what he is talking about, well, in the immortal words of Apollo 10 (or is it 13) “Houston We Have a Problem“.
For the third time in the last week, Joe Biden has again displayed his ignorance about basic military formations, Jake Tapper of ABCNews tells us how this about our very own Senator Councilor Biden (hey if he can call a Brigade a Batallion, then we can call a Senator a Councilor, right?):
[H]eralding his own experience, Biden also said he “know(s) as much as anyone in government about” national security and foreign policy.
And for the third time since his acceptance speech a week ago, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confused battalions and brigades.
“Over a year and a half ago,” Biden said of Obama. “He said we need two more combat battalions in Afghanistan.”
Actually, Obama called for two more combat brigades.
For those who don’t know, and Biden self-admittedly does know, a brigade is composed of a varying number of battalions.
