Uh huh.

“The Obama Administration strongly opposes all aspects of China’s coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization,” Biden’s spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff told The Daily Caller in an email. “The Vice President believes such practices are repugnant.”

Barkoff explained that Biden was attempting to critique the restrictive system with his comments.

“He also pointed out, in China, that the policy is, as a practical matter, unsustainable,” Barkoff added. “He was arguing against the One Child Policy to a Chinese audience. ”

Really? He was arguing against the One Child Policy? Is that why he said:

Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family.

I see. So when he said he understood and refused to second-guess the One Child Policy, what he really meant was that the policy is abhorrent, unsustainable, and must be ended.

Also, we’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

Biden said what he said. He said that China’s forced abortion policy was “understandable” and he wouldn’t second-guess it. No amount of post-trip political spin takes “I’m not second-guessing” and “understandable” and turns it into an attack on the policy.

No one says, “The Holocaust policy of Nazi Germany was understandable and I’m not second-guessing it,” and then expects people to come away with the impression that he or she has condemned the policy as abhorrent and repugnant. It’s either repugnant or it’s understandable and not worth second-guessing. You can’t have it both ways.
