Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Joe Biden told Gen. David Petraeus “It’s time to end the surge and bring the troops home” from Iraq.
Opening a Senate hearing on progress in Iraq, the Delaware Democrat said he found little reason to believe that sectarian violence will end in Iraq.
“Are we any closer to a lasting political settlement? If we continue to surge, is there any evidence Sunnis, Shias and Kurds will stop killing?” Biden asked Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq.
“The answer to both those questions is ‘No,’ “ Biden said.
Biden, who was interviewed Tuesday morning on CNN, has been engaged with the Iraq issue for years and has been favorable to the idea of a partition of Iraq into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish regions.
“The truth of the matter is that Petraeus is going to try to make the administration’s case. That’s his job. He is going to pick the facts that help him make that case the most.
“And my job is to try to get to the root of it and ask the central questions basically are we better off today than we were before the surge. The answer to that so far from what I’ve heard and seen on the ground is no.”

I heard a rumor about peanuts being thrown at you.
It’s like when they put out a tornado warning in my area.....you never know when it’s going to drop out of the sky...that’s how I felt. The shock came later for me ....
You needed to hide, after that comment.
