Few things are less cringe-inducing than listening to Biden trying to act like a tough guy.

Note to Joe: There’s no “we” in this, it’s the brave members of the U.S. military who will follow ISIS to the gates of hell.

Vice President Biden used the opening remarks of an economics speech in New Hampshire on Wednesday to vow retaliation for the execution of two American journalists in recent weeks by the militant group Islamic State, who he called “barbarians.”

The comments, the strongest yet from the Obama administration in light of the killings of  journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, were met with resounding applause as Biden declared that the American people would respond to the killings much like they did following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the Boston Marathon bombings.

“The American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand,” Biden said, speaking at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. “We don’t forget. We take care of those who are grieving, and when that’s finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice, because hell is where they will reside.”
