Churchill was Right

About this, anyway, "Americans will always make the right decision after they've exhausted all other options." I may not have that verbatim, and corrections are welcome, but I believe I have the gist of it. Here we see Biden, the only person amongst the Democratic candidates talking like an adult with an idea or two regarding Iraq, finally gaining traction in the Senate.

It has gone almost ignored in the MSM, but a tri-partition settlement seems to make the most sense and, as mentioned in the above posting, it has large GOP support as well. What are the other options? How else can we save Kurdistan, keep a civil war from continuing unchecked, not give up the second (possibly the first) largest oil reserve in the world to terrorist organizations, and still get out before any of us die? I'm sure Senator Biden would be all ears should you have a better idea, but he has actually been in similar situations before and, nobly, called for action in Bosnia when Europe was inexplicably detained from doing anything about the genocide. He further helped craft agreements that stabilized the region after hostilities ceased. I see him far more qualified than any presidential candidate running for either party to address the issue and certainly more qualified to address the issue than our standing President, but who isn't?

I can only hope this gains even more traction. An idea that has this much support on both sides of the aisle must have some sort of compelling notion to it. I am hesitant to jump on the bandwagon with the majority most of the time, but this is far from populist and has been the minority view for quite sometime now. It's finally being viewed as the only real option left after, as I referenced above, all other options have been exhausted--and it has probably been the best idea for sometime.
