Unity Through Autonomy in Iraq, by Joe Biden and Leslie Gelb | Council on Foreign Relations by possibly noteworthy at 12:31 pm EDT, May 6, 2006 |
Mr. Bush has spent three years in a futile effort to establish a strong central government in Baghdad, leaving us without a real political settlement, with a deteriorating security situation—and with nothing but the most difficult policy choices. The five-point alternative plan offers a plausible path to that core political settlement among Iraqis, along with the economic, military and diplomatic levers to make the political solution work. It is also a plausible way for Democrats and Republicans alike to protect our basic security interests and honor our country’s sacrifices.
