At the end of another perfectly pronounced speech given by Barack Obama today he "quietly" & "meekly" mentioned that all U.S. troops have been ordered to move out of the provinces & towns in Iraq to the outskirts. Iraqi's had a parade today--in celebration that Iraqi troops will be in full charge of the country--& will only call in U.S. troops if & when they need help.
Of course, you probably remember it was Barack Obama that was adamantely opposed to the surge & campaigned on the failure of the surge as recently as one year ago--in his cut & run strategy & promises of immediate withdrawel of 1-1/2 years ago.
Now it appears that Obama is going to send Biden to Iraq for reconciliation between the 3 groups--Sunni's--Shiete's--& Kurds. Of course, you probably remember that it was Biden that wanted to divide the country into 3 sections. With Biden's open mouth--insert foot--wouldn't it be kind of dangerous to send Biden to Iraq in the first place?
Your opinions?
ARTICLE:
President Obama is giving Vice President Biden a larger portfolio to handle, asking him to oversee reconciliation inside Iraq, but Biden will not be a mediator between factions.
"I think he will be involved in working with Shia, Sunni and Kurd to achieve political reconciliation. I would hesitate to use the term 'mediator.' "Gibbs said. "I think, given his knowledge of the region, the number of times he's been there, he's perfectly suited for this type of role."
Biden was the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations committee before being chosen by Obama to be his running mate. While in the Senate, Biden authored a paper advocating a three-way split of Iraq in order to advance reconciliation in the country. While Gibbs said Biden's extensive knowledge of Iraq makes him a perfect choice for the position, he said the idea of partition is no longer a live debate within the administration, noting it's completely gone from the language within the White House.

Barack Obama wanted all U.S. troops out by March 2008--Harry Reid--just 27 months ago--is on video stating that the war in Iraq was lost. ALL OF THEM WERE WRONG--The ONLY one that was right was President George W. Bush--who went against popular public opinion & all of them to"get it right." All of them--including Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, John Kerry, Al Gore, Barack Obama, & Joe Biden, need to give President G.W. Bush a sincere apology.
