Sen. Joe Biden's amendment has 11 co-sponsors, including four Republicans.

WASHINGTON -- A bipartisan resolution based on Sen. Joe Biden's plan for a political settlement in Iraq may come to a vote this week or next as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

While the Bush administration supports the idea of a strong central government in Iraq, the amendment calls for promoting a federal system with strong regions and a limited central government, based on provisions in Iraq's constitution.

It also states that the U.S. government should bring in the international community to support a settlement based on federalism and to convene a conference with Iraqis to help them reach that settlement.

The amendment, filed on Thursday, has 11 co-sponsors, including four Republicans.

6. My gawd, that was a powerful presentation!!

If he doesn't succeed as a presidental candidate I am so damn glad he is in our Senate. Finally someone that speaks and I can feel like he speaks for me. Not that everything he is says I fall on the floor agreeing with, he just presents intelligent ideas and issues to ponder.
