Over the top support for allies

Biden Says Violence May Cause Disengagement From Iraq
I don't think we can blame these comments on Joe alone. They seem to fit the typical support of our allies from the Obama administration.
Vice President Joseph Biden told Iraqi leaders that the path to a secure peace lies in uniting ethnic and sectarian groups and said the U.S. might disengage from their country if it reverts to sustained violence.
He also told Maliki that if Iraq fell into a period of sectarian violence or engaged in ethnic fighting, such a step would change the nature of U.S. engagement, a senior administration official said, according to the report. The aide did not offer specifics about the change, it said.
