re: #94 Buck

I would only mention, as it seems to be forgotten (or excused) the Vice President told the world, and the student protesters that Mubarak was NOT a dictator. I think it is interesting that a person so high up in the Obama Administration can say something so incredibly wrong, that sends the wrong message to the pro democracy protesters and it not be seen as an error by the Obama Administration.

It seems that Biden is recognized as being so worthless that nobody was surprised he said something off message. Of course, this attitude of playing nice with Mubarak has essentially been the police of the US for the last 30 years, so you’d have to fault all of them. Cheney also said recently that Mubarak was a good friend and US ally. Nobody bothered making a fuss about that either; its practically expected of Cheney.
