Meet The Press: Joe Biden Lays Into Dick Cheney For His Attempts To "Rewrite History"

In a much-anticipated Sunday showdown between Vice President Joe Biden and his predecessor Dick Cheney, Biden has drawn first blood.

Asked to respond to a range of harsh attacks on the Obama administration leveled by Cheney, Biden first gathered himself. "Let me choose my words carefully here," he told David Gregory in a pre-taped interview for Sunday's "Meet the Press."

Then Biden let loose with several minutes of his most pointed criticism of Cheney since the 2008 presidential campaign, when Biden claimed that Cheney had "done more harm than any other single elected official in memory in terms of shredding the Constitution."

Speaking to Gregory, Biden charged at least four times that Cheney was "rewrit[ing] history" with his recent attacks, and declared that President Obama has amassed a success rate in countering terrorism that "exceeds anything that occurred in the last Administration."

Cheney is running as fast as he can to cover up his own war crimes.

He should be on trial.

Wait...Dick Cheney saying something crazy?

Well, that would be a first.

Next week, Cheney is going to say; "This administration seems to think that Iraq had nothing to do with the attack on 9-11"

"Dick Cheney is a fine fellow"  LOL Is he serious?

@Whiteberry77 I meant Bidens IQ is at least 50 points higher.

@Whiteberry77 You want to know about "War crimes"?

What do you think invading a sovereign country under false pretenses (WMD's), breaking all of the international treaties on torture, and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's is???

(Not to mention millions of displaced Iraqi refugees.)

The only people who benefited from the Iraq war was Al Queda, who INCREASED their ranks by 10X and Iran, who got their Shiite buddies put into power in Iraq.

Duhh???

(Some Kurd's are better off.)

[Whiteberry77]

Joe Biden is dumber than a box of rocks. What an embarrassment.

[Whiteberry77]

@goog2k, War crimes? Don't be stupid.

[sphires]

Let it go, they got rid of the draft for a reason. Yet, by doing so it seems like part of the reason we can't get out of wars. There is not enough self interest from the youth and I guess people got used to the idea of living in debt.

Don't forget this goes both ways, Bush was a draft dodger and Kerry was a decorated officer.
