VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Well, I– I– I would hope I– look, it’s one
thing to be outspoken. It’s another thing to be outspoken in a way that
misrepresents the facts. And I– I guess– again, I– it’s almost like
Dick is trying to rewrite history. I can understand where the– why
that would be– you know, an impulse. And maybe he isn’t– literally,
I’m not being facetious.Maybe he’s not fully informed of what’s going
on. Imean, the progress we have made. There has never been as much
emphasis and resources brought against Al Qaeda.The success rate
exceeds anything that occurred in the last Administration. And they did
their best. I’m not– I’m not impugning their effort. It’s simply not
true that the President of the United States is not prosecuting the war
against Al Qaeda with a vigor that’s never been seen before. It’s
real. It’s deep. It’s successful.(emphasis mine)
“Exceeds anything that occurred in the last Administration.”

We’ve hadMullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in custody in Karachi since last week, Dick.
