Biden's Plan for Iraq passes Congress today and now heads on over to Bush.
haha - I wonder what Bush will do with it:eyes:

Anyway - that is great news for Biden :)

By promoting federalism, the resolution supports the creation of strong regions under a limited central government. It also calls for more international involvement in helping Iraqis reach an agreement on a comprehensive political settlement.

“It’s time for this president to listen,” Biden said in a statement. “We now have both sides of the aisle, both sides of the U.S. Capitol, saying to the president: abandon this flawed strategy of yours and change course.”

1. I'm so happy to see some MOVEMENT with this. Iraq has dropped off the radar -
I pray this will get it back to the top priority, and begin implementing Biden's plan to give this option a fair chance. :toast:

4. Oh Bush is not a happy camper these days
Time for a little drink-poo or two, I would think. "Who the hell does Biden think he is?"

5. Biden has always been right about this.
Iraq should be a federation. Biden was the first to recognize this, and has always been very adamant about it. I really admire Joe. Always have.

As someone else said, Bush will probably ignore the resolution because it's non-binding (and because it's Biden's plan).

Cheers for Joe Biden! :toast:

Biden acts more like a President than a candidate.

7. Here it is, Bushie boy. It's your best out if you want to take it.
If you sign, it's a plan that everybody could take credit for.

It's yours on a silver platter if you want it.

Nah, didn't think so. Good luck with that surge of yours.
