Biden has been going to Iraq every six months so he should know if there has been progress<\/a> or not:<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping to … make it clear that the patience of the American people is running very thin,” he added. “Although terrorism is an international problem, Iraqi unity is an Iraqi problem.” Despite these problems however, Biden said progress is being made locally and that the United States military and tribal leaders are making strides against Al Qaeda.<\/span>

I come about every six months<\/span>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
