A leading Democrat on Saturday declared l
ast year's troop buildup in Iraq a failure.
Sen. Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, said the
military push didn't succeed because
U.S. troops remain committed there in
large numbers and political reconciliation
has not been achieved.
"The purpose of the surge was to bring
violence in Iraq down so that its leaders
could come together politically," said
Biden, D-Del., in this week's Democratic
radio address. "Violence has come
down, but the Iraqis have not come together."
He later added, "There is little evidence
the Iraqis will settle their differences
peacefully any time soon."
=============================
Time to start packing and get our young
men out of that shithole.
