In the segment of the speech, in the video below, Joe Biden talked about what would be involved with pulling troops out of Iraq. He argued that this could not be done instantly but would take a year. If we left our weapons behind, that could be accomplished in seven months. However, he warned about leaving billions of dollars of weapons behind.<\/p>\n

Transcript from August 12, 2007:<\/span><\/p>\n

How we end this war, and it makes a big difference to tell the American people the truth about what our options are in the needless (?) war. If tomorrow, the order goes out from the president, I’m president of the United States, I issue an order, “End the war today, begin to withdraw all American troops.”<\/p>\n

It will take a year to get the American troops out. Do you hear me now? That’s the truth! It will take a year to get them physically out!<\/p>\n

Now if you leave all the equipment behind, you might be able to do it in seven months! And you leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind, I promise, they’re going to be used against your grandchild and mine someday.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
