Foreign Policy Genius Joe Biden on “Surge” as a Military Tactic
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
From Stephen W Smith (CBS/AP) - December 26, 2006:
Sen. Joseph Biden, the incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he will fight President Bush if the administration decides to send more U.S. troops to Iraq.“I just think it’s the absolute wrong strategy,” Biden said Tuesday of an increase in troops…
In a conference call with reporters, Biden said the purpose of the hearings would be to generate a bipartisan consensus among lawmakers on Iraq and pressure the president to abandon any talk of surging U.S. forces into Baghdad.
“Even with the surge of troops, in a city of 6 million people you’re talking about a ratio that would still be roughly above one to 100,” Biden said. “It’s bound to draw down support that we need in other parts of Iraq, including Anbar province.”
Nothin’ like that HOPE and CHANGE!
Or is that HOP and CHANGE?
Do not laugh. These guys are in charge.
