I stand with Senators Joe Biden (D-DE), Sam Brownback (R-KS), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), John Kerry (D-MA), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Chuck Shumer (D-NY), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Blanche Lambert Lincoln (D-AR), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Gordon Smith (R-OR), and Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) in calling for a political solution in Iraq that allows to draw down troops without leaving a bloodbath behind.

I urge Congress to pass the Biden-Brownback-Boxer amendment to create a federal system in Iraq, as their Consititution provides, that gives each region of the country control over the daily lives of its citizens, and securing the support of the United Nations and Iraq's neighbors for this plan.

The President has clung to the idea that a strong central government will emerge in Iraq that will pull the country together for five years.

It's not working.

It's time for a change.

Joe Biden for President: A Political Solution in Iraq.
