WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday belittled Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama administration's commitment to fighting terrorism as either "misinformed or he is misinforming."

Cheney doesn't listen to what's going on around him and is trying to rewrite history, Biden told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Biden said that under Obama's direction, the U.S. has been more successful at killing al-Qaida leaders and their followers than it was during the years George W. Bush and Cheney were in the White House.

"We've eliminated 12 of their top 20 people. We have taken out 100 of their associates," said Biden. "They are in fact not able to do anything remotely like they were in the past. They are on the run. I don't know where Dick Cheney has been. Look, it's one thing, again, to criticize. It's another thing to sort of rewrite history. What is he talking about?"

Cheney, Biden said, "either is misinformed or he is misinforming. But the facts are that his assertions are not accurate."

1. Can we vote "Both" - ignorant and lying

4. Taking names and kicking ass. But what's with the blinking?

Joe is doing a great job slamming Cheney. His eyes look a little strange...the left one wide open, the right squinting and he's blinking like crazy. Hope he's alright.

8. didn't see it

but it always seemed to me that he was wearing contact lenses, and was one of those that really shouldn't..........

I could be wrong, of course, but that is how it appeared to me.

6. Five-Deferment Dick has no excuse for ignorance

He still has neocon moles in the CIA and other intelligence agencies. That alone negates any argument for 'ignorance' on his part and strengthens the assertion that he's a lying sack of shit.

2. B O T H......."he's either mis-informed or he's mis-informing"

3. Good for Biden.

5 Deferment Dick crossed the line a long time ago in terms of former officials criticizing current ones. Plus his criticisms are obviously craven attempts to justify his criminal and incompetent behavior. High ranking admin officials should have no reservations about going after Cheeney.
