Biden launches online petition drive for Iraq resolution
NEW YORK (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has launched an online petition drive to rally support for legislation he co-sponsored to redeploy U-S troops out of Iraq by next March.
In an interview today with The Associated Press, the Delaware senator called the Iraq conflict "the big boulder in the road" and said it must be resolved for the U-S to regain credibility on the world stage.
He says he's trying to -- quote -- "visibly pound away, every single day, to get this president and my Republican colleagues to change course." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled a vote on the resolution sponsored by Biden and Senator Carl Levin. Only a handful of Republicans are expected to support the bill.
Biden is also continuing to push his plan to divide Iraq along ethnic lines, with a central government responsible for border security and allocation of oil. Biden dismissed his standing in national polls, which show him trailing far behind front-runners Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
