Joe Biden's version of history...

Glad to see we have Presidential candidates who either have no idea how the Iraq war started or are willing to lie to a bunch of fourth-graders. Nice!

CONCORD, N.H. - The words were a bit simpler but the answers none the shorter when Joe Biden, who has a reputation for being verbose, faced an audience of fourth-graders Thursday.

The Democratic presidential candidate encountered the group in the lobby of the New Hampshire statehouse on his way to filing his candidacy with he secretary of state's office.

Asked how long he had been in the Senate, the Delaware senator, who was elected in 1972, started talking about the civil rights movement of the 1960s. He then detoured into an aside about how his sister was pushed to be a nurse or teacher was he was encouraged to pursue any career he wanted despite grades worse than hers.

He also gave a detailed answer to a question adults don't often ask candidates: How did the war in Iraq start? Biden compared the war in Iraq with the invasion of Afghanistan.
