DUBUQUE, Iowa — Delaware senator and presidential candidate Joe Biden predicted Saturday that within six months, every one of his Democratic rivals would adopt his position on the war in Iraq.
In front of more than 100 people, Biden spoke passionately about the need for a middle road between the plans proposed by his Republican and Democrat counterparts.
"It is the only rational way," said Biden, who proposes a federal system dividing Iraq up into separate states of Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds. "No one can answer the question that comes next. After you surge, then what? After you cap, what then?"
Biden said that his plan, coupled with his long record in the U.S. Senate make him the right candidate to step into the office and to immediately take control of the Iraq war.
