5 janvier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abSen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that he believes top officials in the Bush administration have privately concluded they have lost Iraq and are simply trying to postpone disaster so the next president will be the guy landing helicopters inside the Green Zone, taking people off the roof, in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of Vietnam.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbI have reached the tentative conclusion that a significant portion of this administration, maybe even including the vice president, believes Iraq is lost, Biden said. They have no answer to deal with how badly they have screwed it up. I am not being facetious now. Therefore, the best thing to do is keep it from totally collapsing on your watch and hand it off to the next guy literally, not figuratively.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t( )<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbBiden expressed opposition to the president’s plan for a surge of additional U.S. troops and said he has grave doubts about whether the Iraqi government has the will or the capacity to help implement a new approach. He said he hopes to use the hearings to illuminate the alternatives available to this president and to provide a platform for influencing Americans, especially Republican lawmakers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThere is nothing a United States Senate can do to stop a president from conducting his war, Biden said. The only thing that is going to change the president’s mind, if he continues on a course that is counterproductive, is having his party walk away from his position.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
