Joe Biden Backs Up Obama on Afghanistan

Joe Biden, who was against sending a lot of troops to Afghanistan, backs up Obama. Yay for Joe!
Biden says republican whining about an exit strategy is illogical. Yepper. He makes a real good argument. You'll also notice a more restrained and on point Joe. Watch it here.

Watch McCain here. He opposes the 18 month timeline. McCain just doesn't get it. The timeline is the best part of the whole strategy because it tells Karzai and Afghanistan leaders to make it happen. Biden countered McCain really well. I think republicans just feel the need to always pick a fight with Obama for political purposes.

Also, NATO will send at least 5,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Biden on the Today Show putting the media in its place (what's with the gunfire in the background while Joe speaks?):
