BIDEN: I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think its gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. Youre gonna see 90,000 troops come marching home by the end of the summer. Youre gonna see a stable Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government Ive been impressed by how theyve been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.

I truly believe Biden does not hear a word he says.
I think Biden’s comment was true enough for many of the Iraqis.
But there were always wolves at the door, held at bay by our presence and force.
