Thought you might like this paragraph in a Kerry anti- Romney FP oped

[div class ="excerpt"]
Our presence in Iraq now is a diplomatic one because our challenge there now is diplomatic; we’ve left behind a robust civilian presence to help the Iraqi people shape their future. It will require frequent and frank discussions with Iraqi leaders that Vice President Biden has had time and again, urging them to make smart decisions. But make no mistake: By withdrawing troops and resources from Iraq, we have empowered ourselves to take the fight more forcefully to al-Qaeda in other parts of the world. As a result, al-Qaeda in Pakistan has been decimated, and Osama bin Laden is in a watery grave at the bottom of the ocean.

One thing that Biden has not been given a huge amount of credit for is that he, not the SoS, was the key administration person working on Iraq - it is good seeing his work referenced.
