The Senescent Man

Biden said that our commander in Afghanistan said an Iraq-type surge, as proposed by McCain, would not work. Palin called him on that, apparently quoting (or near-quoting) our commander there, named McClelland (which may be a slight error in the name), and proved Biden wrong. Is it my imagination, or did Biden give a weak, weak response, something like, "Yes, that's what he said," and look like a child who got caught with his hands in the cookie jar?

I believe Biden out and out lied, not just spun the facts, and realized he got caught.

Anyone else notice that moment, and have that impression?
