The Former Vice-Presisdent of the United States, Dick Cheney, is about to release a book, titled, In My Time.

According to a source close to Cheney:

This is not an apology tour. It’s the book of a proud conservative. He’s not looking to kiss and make up with the NEW YORK TIMES set, or for that matter, some of his former Bush administration colleagues,.

Some of the highlights, per drudgereport.com, include:

In a chapter entitled, SETBACK, Cheney is blunt about failures in Bush Administration foreign policy, especially in the second term. He criticizes ‘concessions delivered’ to North Korea ‘in the naive hope that despots would respond in kind,’ and says the president was badly served by his State Department, including through advice that was ‘utterly misleading.’

Cheney excoriates Colin Powell for standing by silently, knowing that his deputy Richard Armitage was responsible for leaking Valerie Plame’s identity to the press.

Says that it’s not Guantanamo Bay that hurts America’s image abroad but rather critics like Barack Obama who ‘peddle falsehoods about it.’

Says that Attorney General John Ashcroft approved the controversial Terrorist Surveillance Program that tracked terrorist communications no less than 20 times before his deputy, James Comey, objected. In a briefing delivered by Cheney and NSA Director Mike Hayden, Democratic congressional leaders Pelosi, Daschle, Harman and Rockefeller unanimously agreed the program should continue and that the administration should not seek any further authorization from Congress. ‘The view around the table was unanimous… They feared, as did we, that going to the whole Congress would compromise its secrecy.’ When it did leak in the NEW YORK TIMES, Cheney writes that the NEW YORK TIMES clearly violated the law by printing information about classified communications intelligence programs.

Unrepentant on Iraq. Even in hindsight, Cheney asserts it was the right decision, even taking into account mistakes on intelligence. Says those Democrats, like John Kerry, who supported the war and then flipped for political expedience and accused the president of ‘peddling untruths’ are guilty of just that themselves.

Another one of the revelations in the book is the existence of secret resignation letter that only one of Cheney’s staffers knew about. The letter was signed in March 2001 and was keptlocked in a safe at all times.

Vice-President Cheney told NBC’s Jamie Gangel in an exclusive interview that will air on NBC’s “Dateline” at 10 p.m. ET Aug. 29:

I did it because I was concerned that — for a couple of reasons. One was my own health situation. The possibility that I might have a heart attack or a stroke that would be incapacitating. And there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who can’t function.

To quote “Darth” Chaney:

There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington.

The book was ranked #267 on AMAZON’s hit parade late Wednesday. It will be available for the world to consume on August 30th.

Meanwhile, what is our current Vice-President up to?

Well, he’s currently in the middle of a Tour of Asia, doing what he does best:  making an embarrassment of himself.

Per foxnews.com:

Vice President Biden is facing criticism after telling a crowd in China that he doesn’t have a problem with the country’s one-child policy.

The vice president addressed the policy while answering a question about the U.S. budget deficit at a university in Chengdu on Sunday. He was trying to explain how China has a looming entitlement crisis on its hands because its strict enforcement of the one-child-per-family rule has essentially eroded the “safety net” for seniors. Fewer children means fewer people earning money and supporting retirees.

But in explaining that concept, Biden appeared to condone China’s policy.

“You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family,” Biden said, according to the official transcript of the event. “The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.”

With that statement, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, immediately (after sticking his finger up in the air, in order to see in which direction the political winds were blowing) announced that China’s policy “gruesome and barbaric” and questioned how Biden could have given it a pass.

Releasing a terse statement, Romney declared:

Vice President Biden’s acquiescence to such a policy should shock the conscience of every American. Instead of condoning the policy, Vice President Biden should have condemned it in the strongest possible terms.

Gee. Ya think, DiNozzo?

The CEO of Concerned Women for America, Peggy Nance, also released a statement, saying that Biden’s comment “crosses the lines of ignorant and wrong.”

Then, a spokesman for Biden released a statement later Tuesday stating that:

The Obama Administration strongly opposes all aspects of China’s coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization.

The Vice President believes such practices are repugnant. He also pointed out, in China, that the policy is, as a practical matter, unsustainable. He was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience.

Uh huh.

For the record, China began their horrendous policy three decades ago to help curb population growth. While it does not apply to those in rural areas, families living in cities can be subjected to stiff fines for breaking the rule. The policy has also resulted in families choosing to have male children more frequently than female children, and compassionate (usually Christian) Americans attempting to adopt those unwanted Chinese baby girls.

Little did I know just how prophetic I was, when I posted the following comment on the great Conservative website, hotair.com on 10/19/2010 at 8:45 p.m., Eastern:

We went from Darth Cheney to Jar Jar Biden.

C’mon, January 2013.
