re: #102 Alexzander
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.
Good friend is not the same think as saying he was not a dictator.
