Biden: Troops Should Come Home in Summer

WASHINGTON - The U.S. should pull troops from Iraq after this summer if the political conditions in the country do not improve, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday.

Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) of Delaware, who is aiming for the 2008 presidential race, said the Iraqis must have a constitution that unites fighting factions of the society or "it's game over."

"We can't want peace in Iraq more than the Iraqis want it," Biden said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We can't want it more than they want it. And if they don't step up to the ball, we're going to be gone."

Biden said if knew what he knows now when Congress voted on the Iraq war resolution, he would have opposed it. "This has been a debacle," he said

5. shouldn't he have done a little research before his vote?
instead of blindly following Bush who is not known for being the sharpest tack in the shed? And what will he do about Iran?

"Biden said if knew what he knows now when Congress voted on the Iraq war resolution, he would have opposed it."

How refreshing! All together now...
