Video: Krauthammer says Biden holds “American record for 'wrong' on the most issues in foreign affairs ever”

While President Obama, referring to his hapless vice president, did say "No one messes with Joe," in reality, it makes more sense to take the opposite side of any position Joe Biden hold--at least on interational affairs.

As Charles Krauthammer phrased it yesterday on Fox News...

The vice president has been over the last 30 years holds the American record for 'wrong' on the most issues in foreign affairs ever. And the list starts with the nuclear freeze in the early '80s against Thatcher and Reagan and Cole which is one of the follies of the era. He supported it.

He was against aid to the Nicaraguan Contras which in the end brought democracy and ended the Sandinista rule at the time. He was against Reagan's expansion of the defense budget, which bankrupted the Soviet Union and led to the end of the Soviet Empire. He was against Reagan on Strategic Defenses, which is the big advantage that we have now in the missile age.

And look at where he was on Iraq. He opposed the first Iraq War, the Gulf War that liberated Kuwait that everybody agrees was a good thing. He supported the Iraq War which he, not I, he says was a terrible mistake. And then when the surge happened, he opposed the surge in Iraq which rescued a losing war and ended with our leaving with our heads held high and some promise in the future.
