Sen. Biden: Linking Iraq to Israel-Palestinian Peace is "Dangerously Naive"
[Forward] Marc Perelman - Senator Joseph Biden, incoming chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, derided proposals to link progress in Iraq to the revival of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks as "dangerously naive." "The notion that an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement would end a civil war in Iraq defies common sense," Biden said. "Israeli-Palestinian peace should be pursued aggressively on its own merits, period - not as some sort of diplomatic price to make the Arab states feel good so they will help us in Iraq."
