Biden on Iraq
Face the Nation
02/14/10JOE BIDEN: From the beginning, I've been on your show so many times in the previous years, and my mantra was: This requires a political solution. I never once doubted that additional American forces would, in fact, meet the military objective of settling things down.
Biden Arguing AGAINST the Surge in Iraq
4/24/07BIDEN: What does he say? He says, 'Surge troops.' Why? To give the Iraqis breathing room. Why? So the Iraqis will get together and form a unity government that can be trusted by all the Iraqi people to govern the nation, allowing us to leave.
Not in the lifetime of anyone on this floor, including these talented young pages, will there be a unity government in Baghdad that has the confidence of all the Iraqi people, able to maintain security, provide opportunity, and have a stable unity government. It will not happen.
...
If we don't start bringing home combat forces within the next few months, get them out of the midst of a civil war, we will have so soured the American people on the ability to do even the things that need be done that this president and the next president will be left with absolutely no option, absolutely no option, but to withdraw totally from that area, and let the chips fall where they may.
You know, that's exactly what we started to propose, the senator from California and others, Sen. Levin -- in the Biden-Hagel-Levin-Snowe Resolution opposing the surge back in January.
...
It's Saigon revisited. We'll be lifting American personnel off the roofs of buildings in the Green Zone.
Could Biden have been more wrong?
What a liar!
"I never once doubted that additional American forces would, in fact, meet the military objective of settling things down."
What a joke!
Biden opposed the surge, and he's lying about it.
Case closed.
