Well I saw this headline come out:

A mentally ill man with fake credentials managed to get within yards of Vice President Joe Biden
Then I thought of what "The Onion" might do with this...perhaps something along the lines of:


Quote:
Secret Service initially reports a mentally ill man gets within yards of Vice President Joe Biden, but then realize it IS Vice President Joe Biden.
Sorry...I couldn't resist. Bad, bad, bad....

Biden says there is a 'moment of opportunity' for peace

By AP AND JPOST.COM STAFF
09/03/2010 10:45
US VP meets Peres, says "since our administration came to power Iran is more isolated"; stresses "absolutely no space between Israel and US" where Israel's security is concerned.
"The interests of both the Palestinians and the Israeli people, if everyone would just step back and take a deep breath, are actually very much more in line than they are in opposition," US Vice President Joe Biden said after a meeting with President Shimon Peres on Tuesday morning.

According to Biden, there is a "moment of opportunity" for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Biden is making the highest-level visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories by an Obama administration official.

Regarding Iran, Biden said, "Since our administration came to power, I would point out that Iran is more isolated - internally, externally - has fewer friends in the world."

Ahead of a meeting with Peres on Tuesday, Biden also said there is "absolutely no space between Israel and the United States" where Israel's security is concerned.

Biden Reasserts U.S.-Israeli Ties

MARCH 9, 2010, 9:57 A.M. ET
By JOSHUA MITNICK
JERUSALEM—At the start of a trip to the Middle East, Vice President Joe Biden sought to soothe Israeli fears of a nuclear Iran, assuring leaders in Jerusalem that the U.S.-Israeli alliance remains robust....

The vice president expressed hope that the indirect talks would eventually lead to direct negotiations that would resolve the final-status disputes over borders, Jerusalem, and refugees. Such an agreement will require "historically bold" compromises, he said.

"The U.S. will always stand with those who take risks for peace," Mr. Biden said, adding that he believes Mr. Netanyahu is ready to do that.

White House Advisor: Israel Undermining Mideast Peace

14 March 2010
Michael Bowman
Washington
The Obama administration continues to blast Israel's announcement it will build new housing in disputed East Jerusalem. VOA reports from Washington on the uncharacteristically blunt language that continues to flow between the United States and Israel.

Days have passed since Israel announced its intention to build 1,600 new housing units in East Jerusalem during a visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, but the Obama administration's anger appears undiminished.

Senior White House advisor David Axelrod on NBC's Meet the Press television program.

"This was an affront, it was an insult," Axelord said. "But most importantly, it undermined this very fragile effort to bring peace to that region."

Israel captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. Palestinians view East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state under a "two-state" solution that has been the focus of on-again, off-again Middle East peace discussions promoted by the United States for years. Axelrod said Israel's construction announcement makes an elusive accord even harder to reach.

"We just now have started proximity talks - that is, shuttle diplomacy between the Palestinians and the Israelis," Axelord said. "And for this announcement to come at that time was very, very destructive."

Israeli officials have expressed regret for the timing of the announcement, but not for its substance. The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to defend its policy of expanding Jewish settlements....

I suspect the original headline went more along the lines of:

Joe Biden Update: Obama one of Iraq's 'great schievements'

Richard's jaded $.02
