Bush May Leave Iraq Troop Decisions to Successor, Biden Says

President probably

the struggle for his replacement to resolve, Senator
said today in delivering the Democrats' weekly radiocommunication address.

$12 billion a calendar month that could be spent on lodging or health
care and weakens the nation's ability to struggle the Taliban and
al-Qaeda in Islamic State Of Afghanistan and Pakistan, Biden said.

''I believe the president have no scheme for success in
Iraq,'' said Biden, president of the . ''I believe his program is to clutter through -- and hand
the job off to his successor. We Democrats understand that
this warfare must end.''

The U.S. is withdrawing about 21,500 of the 30,000 soldiers
added to Republic Of Iraq as portion of a ''surge'' that Shrub announced in
January 2007. That would go forth about 140,000 military personnel by July. Shrub bes after to state whether he'll do additional cuts after General
, the top U.S. commanding officer in Iraq, and Ambassador
attest in United States Congress adjacent week.

''The world is we're endorse to where we were before'' the
surge started, said Biden, 65, who stands for Delaware. ''The
best that tin be said is we've gone from drowning in Republic Of Republic Of Iraq to
treading water.''

Biden didn't specifically sketch a program to stop the warfare in
Iraq, where more than than 4,000 U.S. soldiers have got died.

Senators of Prairie State and of
New York, who are seeking the Democratic nomination for
president, state they'll get what they name a responsible
withdrawal of U.S. troops.

nominee, back ups the warfare while criticizing the Bush
