More Americans Will Die for Jewish Wars, says Jew Joe Biden

More British and American troops will die in Afghanistan, but the war against the Taliban is in the national interests of both countries, the US vice-president, Joe Biden, said today.

Speaking in the deadliest month for British troops since the US-led invasion in 2001, Biden insisted that the current offensive against the Taliban in Helmand province was worth the effort and was a "prerequisite" to get the country ready for presidential elections next month.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme Biden said: "In terms of the national interests of Great Britain and the national interests of the United States and Europe, it is worth the effort we are making and the sacrifice that is being felt and more will come."

The 19th British serviceman to be killed in Afghanistan this month is expected to be named today.

Biden refused to be drawn into the row over resources – particularly helicopters – for British forces, but he praised British soldiers.

"I think they are among the best trained and the bravest warriors in the world," he said. "I am not in a position to make a judgment as to whether or not the weapons inventory, the equipment they have, is all they need. I assume it is, I am just not prepared to comment on that." More
