BIDEN WON'T REPEAT HIMSELF

ABC's Erica Anderson reports: When asked Wednesday at the Council on Foreign Relations about how his Iraq plan differs from what is going on now, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee and a 2008 presidential hopeful, responded: "Let me say, if you haven't figured that out yet, I'm not going to be able to explain it."
Sen. Biden's 5-point "unity through autonomy" plan for Iraq, which he laid out in a New York Times op-ed with Les Gelb of the Council on Foreign Relations in May, calls for decentralizing power to Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds; guaranteeing that each group gets a proportionate share of Iraq's oil revenue; improving living conditions; producing a regional non-aggression pact; and redeploying most US troops from Iraq by 2008.

1. Guess we now know how this team split the op-ed writing duties.
2. Is the Dem campaign strategy, once they are *finally* able to craft an interesting plan, not to explain in person? This approach might not work so well in stumping season - and seems a bit disingenuous. Perhaps all Delaware Dems take the NY Times, but it's a pretty expensive paper where I live. How to rally the base if they can't hear your message?

Biden has been right about developments in Iraq over and over again. If he proposes something I'm very read to listen.

Its obviously 3 nations. But Watch a land grab by Turkey on the north. An EU nation attacking a nation occupied by the USA. Kurdistan is a county on its own. We can go there after we leave Shiastan and Sunnistan if they want the US. They should or Turkey and Iran will eat Kurdistan for dinner, along with its oil for dessert.
