i think biden is unknowingly channeling adolf eichmann and engaging in a plan with such a potential for evil consequences that he should be barred from holding his committee chair.

EICHMAN? a little harsh don't ya think considering that he is proposing pretty much what the USA is assisting in achieving as you post!Ethnicly cleansed neighborhoods areas and even states or whatever they are calling them now!
 And while I am at it- I am so fucking tired about hearing about "EXPERIENCE" "FOREIGN EXPERIENCE" INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE". What experience did that lying piece of shit that stole the presidency have? He had shit for experience unless you count lying, drunkeness, use of illegal drugs!!! So stop buying that pile of crap BOO, it is beneath you!

British Mandate of Mesopotamia
Main articles: British Mandate of Mesopotamia and Assyrian independence

British troops entering Baghdad.At the end of World War I, the League of Nations granted the area to the United Kingdom as a mandate. It initially formed two former Ottoman vilayets (regions): Baghdad, and Basra into a single country in August 1921. Five years later, in 1926, the northern vilayet of Mosul was added, forming the territorial boundaries of the modern Iraqi state.

Evidently no one has ever asked the Iraqis. I believe in a fair vote the Kurds and Sunnis would support Bidens plan. They live in fear of Shiite domination. The shiites (Maliki and Sadr) would like the whole oil soaked country. Booman's hyperbole aside we need something to get us out of there. We are not their answer we brought Al Qaeda with our fucked up liberation. The surge ain't it and we owe them something that will stand more then ten minutes.

The bankruptcy bill I have no defense. Thanks for your frank comments Billjpa.
