Reid-Biden-Levin Joint Resolution To Revise United States Policy On Iraq

[cyberpj]

EndingTheWar.com, paid for by Biden for President Inc., seeks support for a soon-to-be-introduced resolution Biden co-authored with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., calling for a scaled-down mission for U.S. troops in Iraq and a phased redeployment of troops beginning within four months of adoption.

The resolution sets a goal to redeploy all combat forces from Iraq by March 2008, except for a limited number for force protection, training Iraqis and counterterrorism operations. It would require Bush to pursue a political, diplomatic and economic strategy in Iraq to secure a settlement.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is expected to introduce the legislation this week.

1. Do you suppose that Biden's bid for the candidacy is

simply to provide a platform for a change in Iraq policy? I just don't get the vibe that he's really seriously running but needs a podium to push his ideas.

2. I thought of that as well.

But he does have a huge ego - and may believe that his plan to divide Iraq into three territories might finally catch fire and win enough attention and votes (based on his foreign relations committee experience) to get him somewhere. If not the office itself, some tasty cabinet position.
