Joe Biden, after voting for the War in Iraq, spent the last few years blasting President Bush's job performance and demanding that the fledgling democracy be forcibly segregated. Since no one in the mainstream media will ever hold Senator Biden accountable for his debunked assessment, Save Jersey will have to carry the water:

Two years ago, Anbar Province was the most lethal place for American forces in Iraq. A U.S. marine or soldier died in the province nearly every day, and the provincial capital, Ramadi, was a moonscape of rubble and ruins. Islamic extremists controlled large pieces of territory, with some so ferocious in their views that they did not even allow the baking of bread. On Monday, U.S. commanders formally returned responsibility for keeping order in Anbar Province, once the heartland of the Sunni insurgency, to the Iraqi Army and police. The ceremony, including a parade on a freshly paved street, capped one of the most significant turnabouts in the country since the war began five and a half years ago.

The surge worked. The Biden plan would have been a disaster, allowing regional antagonists to strengthen their control and further harass U.S. efforts. So much for Joe Biden's renowned foreign policy acumen...
