The McCain campaign takes issue with at least 14 statements made by Biden during last night's debate. I wish they had links to their statements, there's really no reason not to when using the web. Nonetheless, here they are.

Biden stated in last night's debate that Obama never said that he would meet unconditionally with Iranian President terrorist leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Maybe we can refresh the Delaware Senator's memory with this (Obama's response is the first, at 30 seconds in following the viewer's question):

Then we have, as Charles Johnson at LGF points out, "Mr. Foreign Policy Expert" himself, Joe Biden, confusing Gaza and the West Bank.

Here’s what the president said when we said no. He insisted on elections on the West Bank, when I said, and others said, and Barack Obama said, “Big mistake. Hamas will win. You’ll legitimize them.” What happened? Hamas won.

I'm going to have to start another post covering Biden's gaffes/misstatements/outright lies if this continues.

The latest points back to the same place in the debate mentioned above where Biden confused Gaza and the West Bank. Rick Moran, at the American Thinker, calls it the "Mother of all Biden Gaffes". The statement in question is as this:

Here's what the president said when we said no. He insisted on elections on the West Bank, when I said, and others said, and Barack Obama said, "Big mistake. Hamas will win. You'll legitimize them." What happened? Hamas won.
When we kicked -- along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, "Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don't know -- if you don't, Hezbollah will control it."

Now what's happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.

Moran explains in detail the absurdity of this statement and has updated his post with a piece written by Michael Totten, who has spent considerable time on the ground in Lebanon and has a firm understanding of the political landscape there.

What on Earth is he talking about? The United States and France may have kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon in an alternate universe, but nothing even remotely like that ever happened in this one.

Nobody - nobody - has ever kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Not the United States. Not France. Not Israel. And not the Lebanese. Nobody.

Joe Biden has literally no idea what he's talking about.

It's too bad debate moderator Gwen Ifill didn't catch him and ask a follow up question: When did the United States and France kick Hezbollah out of Lebanon?

The answer? Never. And did Biden and Senator Barack Obama really say NATO troops should be sent into Lebanon? When did they say that? Why would they say that? They certainly didn't say it because NATO needed to prevent Hezbollah from returning-since Hezbollah never went anywhere.

I tried to chalk this one up as just the latest of Biden's colorful gaffes. Did he mean to say "we kicked Syria out of Lebanon?" But that wouldn't make any more sense. First of all, the Lebanese kicked Syria out of Lebanon. Not the United States, and not France. But he clearly meant to say Hezbollah, not Syria, because he correctly notes just a few sentences later that Hezbollah is part of Lebanon's government. He wasn't talking about Syria. He was talking about Hezbollah all the way through, at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of his outlandish assertion.
