Cutting and running
Bush 'driving toward' new Iraq plan, plans to take off-ramp, stop at local bar.

Joe Biden (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that he believes top officials in the Bush misadministration have privately concluded they have lost Iraq and are simply trying to postpone disaster so the next president will "be the guy landing helicopters inside the Green Zone, taking people off the roof," in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of Vietnam.

"I have reached the tentative conclusion that a significant portion of this administration, maybe even including the vice president, believes Iraq is lost," Biden said. "They have no answer to deal with how badly they have screwed it up."
