Joe Biden: from Irish Catholic to Irish Shi’a…………
“Joe Biden, the US vice-president, has stressed the US will not interfere in an ongoing row over barred candidates in Iraq's upcoming election. Biden's comment came on Saturday following talks in Baghdad with Iraqi officials, including Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister. Biden's Iraq visit comes amid tensions over the barring of more than 500 candidates from Iraq's March 7 election over suspected links to the outlawed Baath party. The move - which excludes both Sunni and Shia candidates - has stoked tensions between the majority Shia and Iraq's minority Sunni, who made up much of the elite under Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi president…………”
Then it means he must have gone to Iraq on pilgrimage, to visit the holy shrines at Karbala and the Hawza at Najaf. All those visits to Baghdad must have converted him from a good Irish Catholic to an even better Irish Shi’a (Shi’ite). I am not saying he is a Sadrist now, or a denizen of ISCI.....
