HE SAID IF WE ELECTED ROMNEY THERE'D BE WAR

Oh look!  Somebody must have left the irony on again!  Honestly, who can be surprised that Clueless Joe was both wrong...and yet right at the same time.  Somebody's wanting to go to war with Syria but it ain't Romney.

FLASHBACK: Biden accused Romney of wanting war with Syria

Sept. 2, 2012, YORK, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday that Republican rival Mitt Romney is "ready to go to war in Syria and Iran" while hurting the middle class.

The warning came during a campaign stop in York, Pa., designed to promote President Barack Obama’s economic policies among white, working-class voters. The thrust of Biden's pitch has been that America is digging out from the 2008 economic collapse and that Romney would take the country backward. But Biden, a foreign policy heavyweight, also cautioned voters that Romney would adopt policies that favor confrontation over cooperation.

"He said it was a mistake to end the war in Iraq and bring all of our warriors home," Biden said of Romney. "He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home. He implies by the speech that he's ready to go to war in Syria and Iran."

Biden made the claim about Syria and Iran without offering specifics; his campaign did not immediately respond to a request for details and he did not use similar language on Syria and Iran at a later stop in Green Bay, Wis.

But while it's fun to laugh at good ol' Clueless Joe, I think perhaps the most interesting nugget from the article is this:

Romney has said he would consider military action in Syria if the war-torn country's chemical weapons were at risk of falling into the wrong hands. Obama, who has opposed military action in Syria, has made similar remarks, calling it a "red line" for the U.S. if Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime were to use chemical or biological weapons.

Note that Romney's position was to consider intervening if the chemical weapons fell into the wrong hands.  Since the Assad regime already possessed the weapons, it's clear that Romney was concerned about jihadists acquiring them.  Meanwhile, there's that pesky "red line" warning that Obama now denies issuing.  "A red line for the U.S.," not "the world" or "Congress."
