Senator Faults Bush, Rumsfeld for Favoring Attacks Over Solutions
ED O’KEEFE
ABC NewsSept. 3, 2006 - Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., shot back at the White House after a week of Bush administration speeches attempted to portray the war in Iraq as the central front in the war on terror and Democrats as appeasers who had not learned the lessons of past conflicts.
In an exclusive appearance on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Biden responded to a quartet of hard-line speeches from nearly every top administration official.
“When you run out of ideas, what you do is attack,” he said.
“What is the plan for Iraq?” Biden repeatedly demanded. “There is no political solution offered here, there is no plan.”
…“The administration’s very flat footed; it’s almost dysfunctional right now,” Biden said.
…“We still have a giant problem with North Korea, a giant problem with Iran [and] a war - a civil war - in Iraq,” he added. “The American people are united in thinking that they are not a single threat.
“It’s sad that no one in the administration is speaking to what [the] solutions are,” he added.
Good interview. We need lots more of these between now and November.
