Biden received 5 deferments before being declared medically ineligible

Lets see how the left spins this -- 8 years of "5 deferment Cheney" as unpatriotic and unfit for the VP slot... I wonder what the DUmp will say about this..

Biden received 5 deferments before being declared medically ineligible for Vietnam

DOVER, Del. (AP) _ Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments received by Vice President Dick Cheney, and later was disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager.

Officials with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's campaign released Biden's Selective Service records at the request of The Associated Press. Less detailed records were available from a National Archives facility in Philadelphia.

According to the documents, Biden, 65, received several deferments while he was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware and later as a law student at Syracuse University. A month after undergoing a physical exam in April 1968, Biden received a Selective Service classification of 1-Y, meaning he was available for service only in the event of national emergency.

"As a result of a physical exam on April 5, 1968, Joe Biden was classified 1-Y and disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager," said David Wade, a campaign spokesman.

A lot of snide comments about Cheney should be turning to ashes in the mouths of certain DUmmies at this point, but  for the fact that they wake up on a new planet every day.
