White House Says Biden Is Qualified to Speak on Iraq and the Islamic State Instead of Obama | TheBlaze.com:

"The White House says Vice President Joe Biden is highly qualified to speak on Iraq policy and combating the Islamic State, which he’ll do in an address Thursday instead of President Barack Obama.

“The president on a number of occasions has spoken about this issue,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told TheBlaze Wednesday. “Obviously the vice president has a lot of expertise on this issue. Early on in this administration, he was responsible essentially for working closely with the Iraqis when the president began the draw down of U.S. military personal from Iraq.”
