From CNN’s “Lou Dobbs” show Monday night, as he interviews Senator Joe Biden, ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Commitee. Biden was talking about the total lack of planning by Bush for the handover of power and for security in Iraq.
Biden: We need a plan. We don’t have one yet.
Dobbs: You and Senator Lugar lead the Foreign Relations Committee. It would seem that your committee would be intricately involved in all planning, all strategy, having to do with U.S. policy. Are you really suggesting that this administration is not including your committee in the planning and the strategy for Iraq?”
Biden: Yes.
Ted Kennedy said this, in a speech at the Brookings Institution:
The result is a massive and very dangerous crisis in our foreign policy. We have lost the respect of other nations in the world. Where do we go to get our respect back? How do we re-establish the working relationships we need with other countries to win the war on terrorism and advance the ideals we share? How can we possibly expect President Bush to do that? He’s the problem, not the solution. Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam, and this country needs a new President.
