Biden, Son Beau Reunite In Iraq

George's Bottom Line:

Sandstorms have grounded Vice President Biden here at Camp Victory today, so everyone's coming to him instead. [...]

A bonus for Biden on this trip: some family time. His son Beau, who is both Delaware's Attorney General and an Army Reserve Captain serving with the Delaware National Guard here in Iraq, is billeted just a couple of minutes from Camp Victory, so the Bidens have enjoyed a mini-reunion.

We are so lucky to have Joe and his family representing us around the world. Imagine if the mess that's going on in Alaska were doing it.

Jill Biden has been in Germany this week (is still there) visiting our troops and families that may be there. I've had to access this on other sites, of course. I hope HuffPo will highlight Dr. Biden's visit at some point with pictures.

A lot of Biden's overseas today, our nation's birthday. Love the Biden family.

Happy 4th of July everyone! *pop!*

[roshni]

Love
them
too.

Beau is a hottie! How come all the good one's are taken?

[chinacatsunflower]

because there so few good lookin' guys out there?

[noneIn2008]

And how many Americans died today in Iraq? Report the fluff and don't touch the facts. We will not get things done until the media becomes responsible and we start to see some journalism in place of the soap opera gunk that clogs these pages, the magazines, newspapers and TV. Let's see some backbone from journalists to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, now.

Check out the other article in HP concerning Biden's visit (Biden calls SH and SOB). It has all the stats you seem to need. Occasionally, it is a relief to see a humanizing story out of this conflict.

Bless you Joe Biden. I'm happy you were able to see your son. I'm sure your breakfast together was too brief, but emotional and sweet...dad and son stuff.

Thank you and Captain Beau Biden for your service to our country.

Do good work and please return safe.

Joe loves his babies and grandbabies so very much and with honesty. Even when they are adults ;-)

I'll never forget Beau's introduction of his dad the night Joe accepted the Democatic VP nomination. If you haven't seen it, it's worth viewing. Michelle was crying...very sweet. I knew our country would be ok.

[SparkyDash]

I did, thank you PC. It is also on Youtube. The Biden's are a loving family.

[roshni]

Me
too.

God bless the Bidens.

God keep 'em all safe.

I love Joe Biden.

I hope he stays healthy for 2016.

[Martampa]

I would love to see him as POTUS but won't he be a bit old in 2016?

[Martampa]

I think that Biden would have made a better president than Obama. He is known for having a backbone!

[Sweetbay]

I think I make a better poster than you. I am known to have reasoning ability.

[Martampa]

That is debatable.

[TheAlchemist]

He's also been known to open mouth insert foot. I love Joe but I believe we've got the right man in both POTUS and VP spots.

[BlueBoomer]

I've been a BIDEN fan for years...I've still got my BIDEN for President bumper sticker on my car!

[listentome]

Let me see.....backbone or wisdom, backbone or wisdom. I think I will take Obama's wisdom. Reveal yourself "twitty bird".

[MadCroation]

It's easy to talk tough when you know your not the one who'll have to back it up.

[berrycooda]

Too bad some other families don't have the same opportunity to see their
loved ones in the military. Especially those who haven't been home for
a long time.

Must be nice to be important....and have so many nice perks.

[dwright]

Wow - Do you even know his history at all??

By the way - why aren't you over there?

[clearlythinking]

That was surely meanspirited. What I think is nice is that Beau did not use some lame excuse not to serve his country. You know like, "I had better things to do". He actually chose to serve his country. Why would you begrudge a soldier, any soldier, serving their country an opportunity to visit with a family member who was visiting the country in which they serve? I have a friend serving in Germany whose family has had the opportunity to see him while they were over there. I think that must have been nice too.

[roshni]

Agree.

[weatherwaxx]

Think you could do that job? I doubt it.

[BlueBoomer]

You're a jerk, berrycooda.

[ChampLessFuzzy]

'nuff said!

[lafrance]

that's so nice. They are so close and have a wonderful father and son relationship. It must be great for Biden to get to spend some quality time with Beau.

[roshni]

I'm glad Joe got to see his son. This is a family that has served the U.S. for a long time. Stay safe Mr. VP.

"Daaaaaaad! You're embarrassing me!!!!!"

[roshni]

Superficial, much?
