Biden/Dodd in Waterloo Iowa last night

Biden and Dodd debate at West High

<snip>

Dodd and Biden, who have developed a friendship while serving in the Senate, kept most of their criticisms on the Democratic front-runners and President Bush for their handling of the Iraq war.

As he has in recent days, Dodd criticized Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama for not promising to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of their first term in office at a recent Democratic presidential debate. Biden also leveled a shot at the leading three candidates on the same issue.

"The leading candidates said they will keep the troops there (in Iraq) through their first term, but have voted not to fund the troops," he said.

<snip>

Biden attacked the administration for creating more terrorists than it has killed by mistreating prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. He also said the administration has refused to try to remove hundreds of tons of highly enriched uranium in Russia.

"President Bush has been criminally irresponsible in the way he has handled national security," he said.

2. They pretty much agreed on everything and added to each other's answers
but it was nice to have 90 minutes to hear them - after the first few questions (the time-keeper was having problems and kept shorting Biden on his response time - Biden took off his watch and said he'd go ahead and time himself :)) Dodd said "That's okay, this is more time than either one of us has gotten in all of the debates". :rofl:
