Biden Is Worse Than a Stopped Clock
He’d be a foreign policy disaster every second of the day.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Former Vice President Joe Biden never measures up to that standard.
In 2014, Bob Gates, who served as President Obama’s first secretary of defense, said that Biden had been wrong on almost every foreign policy and national security issue for 40 years. Biden’s record hasn’t improved since then.
Biden brags that Obama chose him for vice president because Obama didn’t have the foreign policy expertise that Biden had. The expertise Biden brags about includes voting against the 1991 Gulf War when we threw Saddam Hussein’s forces out of Kuwait and voting in favor of the 2003 Iraq invasion.
As vice president, Biden opposed the 2011 raid into Pakistan during which Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden and supported the Obama–Gates massive cuts in defense spending. Like Obama, his support for Israel was lacking, as demonstrated by the pair’s terrible relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s already said that he’d undo President Trump’s foreign policy decisions, and, for example, would move the U.S. embassy in Israel back to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem.
