EVEN BIN LADEN WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH JOE BIDEN’S COMMENTS
May 14 2011
Washington, D.C. – The history of politics in Washington is replete with grand gestures, bold and brave moves, and speeches that helped to change the world. The United States is, after all, the Rome of the modern era and every time it’s Caesar 
speaks, the world listens whether they like it or not. The leaders of that great republic are, however, still infinitely human and, unprotected from the cleaning that history tends to do, their failings are just as apparent as their successes.
Whether it is Nixon’s lies, Clinton’s indiscretions, Reagan’s fading mental state, Bush Jr.’s stumbling speech, or Gerald Ford, the failings of the leaders of the great nation are played out in front of everyone for good or ill. Such failings are not the problem of Barack Obama, one of the great orators in Presidential history, but they do tend to afflict his second-in-command, Vice-President Joe Biden who has become one of the goofier leaders in the history of the country. Much has been made of that eccentricity in the United States but it was believed that around the world his personality had been demurred. However, recent revelations from the writings of Osama bin Laden indicate that he didn’t see Biden as having even enough importance to warrant an assassination attempt and told his ruthless murdering cadre to leave him alone.
“He talks about targeting priorities. He says the president is of course the top target if you could get a shot at him. Also the military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary, top military people,” a counterterror official told Pro Publica. “There is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight. That obviously refers to Joe Biden, though it is stated that this is tied to the weakness of the position and not Biden himself, or at least that’s how it was written. That may be just a way to justify it to the soldiers.”
It’s thought to be very unlikely that Biden was not a target as a result of collaboration with bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.
“Realistically, Joe Biden is the second most powerful person in the world. If Obama were to die he would take over as President, but even that is not enough to warrant elimination by Al-Qaeda. Though to be fair there will always be someone on succession and you can’t kill absolutely everyone,” said Scrape TV Terrorism analyst Doug Davids. “Bin Laden ran the organization like a business. He looked at things like profit and loss sheets, trying to determine where the biggest bang for the buck would be. Killing the President or say the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, that would have a real impact but killing Biden, well that would just mean fewer bombs to kill other people. Explosives aren’t unlimited after all.” 
It’s not clear if bin Laden had any plans to kill former Vice-President Dick Cheney, but it’s believed to be very, very likely.
“Maybe in their heyday they would have done something about Biden, maybe, but it has been a long and hard war for them. Sure they have recruited a lot of new people in the last decade but they’ve also lost a lot and they simply don’t have the resources they once did. They can’t really waste what little they do have,” continued Davids. “I mean Biden’s an old guy and not a whole lot of people take him seriously and so in many ways it may have been beneficial to have him as President. Maybe that was the plan all along but it’s more likely that they just couldn’t have been bothered.”
Biden has suprisingly made no comment on the revelations.
