Vice Presidents Face Off: Dick Cheney and Joe Biden Go on the Offensive

[FR7 Baptist]

The war of words between Dick Cheney and the Obama administration escalated as the White House dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to counter criticism by the former vice president.

Biden and former vice president Cheney don't agree on much, except on how wrong each believes the other one is when it comes to running the country. The two squared off in Sunday morning talk shows, with Biden making an appearance on both CBS and NBC in response to Cheney's exclusive ABC "This Week" interview.

The two leaders clashed on a host of issues, including the likelihood of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil on the scale of 9/11.

Cheney on "This Week" took a stab at the Obama administration's handling of the war on terror and its national security policies.

"It's the mind-set that concerns me," Cheney said of President Obama's handling of national security, including the decision to try 9/11 suspects in civilian courts rather than military tribunals.

Biden, who once called Cheney the most dangerous vice president in history, said the United States is unlikely to face another 9/11 type of attack.

Biden is a moron.

Cheney will eat him alive on any subject, anytime.

"Biden,... said the United States is unlikely to face another 9/11 type of attack."

Based on what?

This is an idiotic statement.

Is he saying that the anti-terrorist strategy in place under the Obama administration is fool proof?

Is he saying that there is no more terrorist threat?


Either way - he is wrong.
