HOLD HIM TO THIS ANSWER!
Sunday, July 5, 2009, TV Interview
STEPHANOPOULOS: What if the Iraqi people — they’ve been dealing with these political disputes for an awful long time — what if they can’t solve them, the violence flares up again?
BIDEN: Well, that’s going to be a tragic outcome for the Iraqi people. We made a commitment.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But are we going to put our lives on the line again?
BIDEN: No.
We made a commitment to withdraw our troops from the cities by the 30th, to withdraw our combat brigades from Iraq by next summer — the end of next summer, and withdraw all troops according to the SOFA, that agreement we negotiated with them, by the end of 2011. That is our intention.
