Wall Street Journal: Biden's Good Gaffe - '...why lock in lower numbers of U.S. nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles such as bombers and missiles in a new arms deal if Russia can’t afford to maintain its stockpile of either? Why indulge Russia's illusions about its "privileged interest" in Eastern Europe, by signalling a desire to abandon missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic, when as the Vice President notes Moscow's current regime lives "in the past" and dreams of reclaiming the Imperium? And what, precisely, does the U.S. expect to get in return for these concessions to a "withering" partner? Mr. Biden may not like the comparison. But in his willingness to speak the truth about Russia, Mr. Biden reminds us of Dick Cheney.' [That's gotta hurt.]
