Biden mumbled the story during a menorah lighting ceremony to celebrate Chanukah on Wednesday at the White House.
It's possible that Biden got confused, if you can believe it. He may have been thinking about a meeting he had in 1973 just prior to the Yom Kippur War when Golda Meir was actually the Prime Minister.
Levi Eshkol was PM during the Six Day War in June 1967 and Biden was definitely not a "liason," whatever he meant by that.
"I have known every — every prime minister well since Golda Meir, including Golda Meir," Biden mumbled. "And during the Six-Day War, I had an opportunity to — she invited me to come over because I was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez.
"And I sat in front of her desk," he continued. "And she had a guy — her staff member — to my right. His name was Rabin. And she kept flipping those maps up and down. She had that bevy of maps — sort of kept it — and it was — it was so depressing what she was — about what happened. She gave me every detail."
Biden graduated from Syracuse University in 1968. Golda was elected as PM in 1969 serving until 1974.
And while our elected houseplant acted as if he was touting his wonderful relationship with Meir and support for Israel, a memo found last year summarized details Biden omitted, such as him telling Meir that the territories captured in the Six-Day War, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip, was deemed "creeping annexation."
An official at that meeting made notes, recording his impressions of Biden, saying that while Biden is full of respect toward Meir and wanted to learn, "and yet while speaking displayed a fervor and made comments that signaled his lack of diplomatic experience."
That's because Biden was never very bright to begin with, and now has the mental capacity of a glass of water.
