Vice President Joe Biden wandered a little off course on a trip down memory lane today.
Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Polands admission into NATO, Biden said in Warsaw during a visit designed to reassure Americas Eastern European allies in the wake of Russias move to take control of Crimea.
The only problem: Biden wasnt chairman back then.
It was Sen. Jesse Helms, a North Carolina Republican, who guided the committee and launched the floor debate on granting NATO accession to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
