Biden Going On All Three Morning Shows To Defend Afghan Policy

Huffington Post:

Vice President Joseph Biden will be appearing on all three network morning shows Wednesday to discuss the Obama administration's new Afghanistan policy, confirms a source who helps handle television bookings.

The choice of the VP as the morning defender of the president's 34,000-troop surge proposal is a calculated one. Biden was the highest-ranking civilian figure to express skepticism about establishing too firm a footprint in Afghanistan -- concerned primarily about the implications such a policy would have on Pakistan and counter-terrorism efforts.
