Joe Biden

You could make a case that articles of impeachment might be appropriate, but ladies and gentlemen, politics is the art of the possible, not the constitutional.

Defining the overall mission of U.S. troops is entirely within the power of the Congress under the U.S. Constitution. Indeed, not doing so would be an abdication of our fundamental duty under the Constitution, which clearly manifests war…

The Bush administration for drastically cutting funding for the federal community policing program.

President Bush should follow Prime Minister Blair's example and start to draw down our troops from Iraq, not send more into the middle of a civil war.

I am against it. I believe the majority of Members on both sides are as well. We should vote on that.

I would not appoint anyone who did not understand that Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Liberty Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provided a right to privacy.

I mean, you have got the first sort of mainstream African-American, who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, it's -- that's a storybook, man.

Let me say that again: explicitly denies you the authority to go into Iran.

I believe the president's strategy is not a solution, Secretary Rice. I believe it's a tragic mistake.

At the end of this year, Anthony ``Tony'' Zagami will retire after 40 years of public service, including the last 16 years at the Government Printing Office, which publishes the Congressional Record for all of us every day. I first met…

The fact of the matter is, partition is not a good idea, but autonomy is necessary. It's called for in their constitution.

The fact of the matter is, absent a political solution, none of this matters. And a political solution requires more autonomy in the regions that they've already voted for in their constitution.

I see no point in considering Bolton's nomination again.

He should not be satisfied. I don't know one single piece of significant advice that Secretary Rumsfeld has given the president that has turned out to be correct.

No, I'm not. And I met with him. I told him I wasn't.

I think that the Republicans in the United States Senate and Congress will demand Rumsfeld's resignation privately.

No, if he means that we're -- we're making progress in Iraq. And I have been there seven times, as recently as this summer. I don't know any generals that are saying that.

We set out benchmarks. We tried to get them to accept benchmarks a year-and-a-half ago, and the president called it cutting and running. Now the president is calling for benchmarks.

I thank my colleague. It was also my understanding, based on discussions during consideration of the last supplemental in the spring, that the military was fully committed to retaining the complete capabilities of the vaccine health care…

But you've got to do something about these militia. And so far I see no -- no real strategy.

I still don't see a strategy for victory in Iraq.

There is no military solution to the problems we face in Iraq.

Our amendment merely states that we support the President's efforts, in a nutshell. I only have a minute. We support the President's efforts in negotiations with our European allies, the Russians, and Chinese to both offer incentives and…

Look, our whole reason they taught as a nation, is that we have a value set that is different from the rest of the world in that we hold ourselves accountable, accountable to decency.

I think it's a failure of both leadership and policy. And I think, you know, one of the things you've got to look at, 99 percent of our troops over there, these are guys and women who are doing God's work. They're working hard. They're…
