From Ace of Spades:
"I think Israel has an absolute right to deal with its security interest. I put all this back on two things: one, Hamas, and, two, Israel's need to be more generous relative to the Palestinian people who are in trouble in Gaza," Biden said, according to a transcript of the interview, in which he went on to discuss Hamas's control of Gaza: "[The Israelis have] said, 'Here you go. You're in the Mediterranean. This ship -- if you divert slightly north you can unload it and we'll get the stuff into Gaza.' So what's the big deal here? What's the big deal of insisting it go straight to Gaza? Well, it's legitimate for Israel to say, 'I don't know what's on that ship. These guys are dropping eight -- 3,000 rockets on my people,'" Biden said.How bad is the Obama administration? Joe Biden seems to be the smart one.
Now this statement might be a big deal if it reflects a change in the administration's position. Yesterday Hillary Clinton and the US Ambassador at the UN struck a much more neutral line. At the White House, Gibbs said the UN statement reflected the President's take on the situation.
Of course, this could be Crazy Uncle Joe going off on his own. We'll see.

"How bad is the Obama administration? Joe Biden seems to be the smart one." That one sentence should be a bumper sticker...seriously.
I would rather have Biden as president--whatever else Biden's faults, I believe he loves this country--and is as American as it gets---execept he is just a liberal American--and I can't see Biden ever willfully doing anything to harm our nation---as we witness daily from CinC.
btw, did you see Biden's speech on Memorial day?
Again..he was more presidential than the president...
In Mary's Image is absolutely correct. Biden did a great job with the Memorial Day speech.
You watch, we will wind up with Biden. Sooner or later Teflon Obama is going to take the fall. All the issues the administration continues to pretend don't exist and never happened make Watergate look like a Cub Scout den meeting.
Biden's so called 'stupidity' consists merely of his inability to keep from blurting out the truth every so often which is a serious flaw in his circle.
cjk,
Well put.
This is the last time he will be allowed to address this issue.
Besides, he misspoke while taking Thorazine
