WASHINGTON (AFP) — Joseph Biden, an influential senator on US foreign policy, warned that Iraq could fall into civil war after the United States hands over power to Iraqis on June 30.
Biden suggested that a United Nations high commissioner be appointed to oversee the country's political transition, and that a NATO force of some 20,000 soldiers provide security.
It will take three years to form a new Iraqi army, Biden told Fox News Channel.
"We're going to end up with worst of all worlds," he said. "We're going to end up with a civil war in Iraq if in fact we decide we can turn this over, including the bulk of the security, to the Iraqis between now and then."
