re-post:recall joe biden's long-time support and plans to support kurds.

...'Second, we were reminded of an Op-Ed written in 2006 by then-senator Biden along with Leslie Gelb, the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations. In that article, Messrs. Biden and Gelb said President Bush did not “have a strategy for victory in Iraq. Rather, he hopes to prevent defeat and pass the problem along to his successor.” The two then proposed breaking Iraq into three “largely autonomous regions – Kurdish, Sunni, and Shiite – “with a viable central government in Baghdad.”'
