WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading Democratic senator said on Sunday he assured interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi that U.S. support for him would continue if John Kerry (news - web sites) were elected president.

Allawi, who paid a high-profile visit to the White House last week, responded: "Thank you, and I know it," said Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record), the ranking Democrat on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Biden and other senators met with Allawi, who addressed Congress and the U.N. General Assembly during his trip.
In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Biden angrily disputed assertions by the administration that Kerry's criticism of Bush policy in Iraq (news - web sites) meant he would abandon the effort.
"I personally was authorized by Kerry in front of all my colleagues to say the first thing in a private meeting. I said, 'Mr. President, you know me.' And he said, 'Yes, I do.' I said, 'I guarantee you that John Kerry as president -- you will continue to have the full support of the United States of America in order to be able to establish a representative republic.' He said, 'Thank you, and I know it."'
At the White House on Thursday, President Bush (news - web sites) said he and Allawi would "stay the course" in Iraq.
Biden is another plug hair lib that has an inflated
opinion of his own ego. Is more subtle in his Bush bashing but always has the right answer at the right time
for the right candidate (always Democrat)..go back to
Dellywareeee....pretty boy. Jake
Biden is like kerry he don't know what he is talking about.
The Plughead Plagarist speaks!
Biden also had the unmitigated gall to accuse Bush of being inconsistant. After Kerry, who can even say that with a straight face? Biden, I guess.
Is Effin' Kerry too big - or too small to bring himself to say those things?
The hair plugs have grown into and are affecting Biden's brain. Or was he always an ***hole and it wasn't quite as noticeable as now?
Biden's lies are so easily provable, makes ya wonder what this guy is smoking.
All the free Iraqis have to worry about if Kerry wins is written in the history books - called "the Killing Fields of Cambodia" and "the boat people of Vietnam".
Really, after about 30 years in politics, those are his greatest achievments.
---I personally was authorized by Kerry in front of all my colleagues to say the first thing in a private meeting.---
Biden just oozes schmuck!
Kerry publically insults the new leader of Iraq and privately sends plugs to say he stands behind him....geeeeez!
Somebody has to clean up after Kerry's mess, I suppose.
Um, shouldn't Kerry be doing the assuring? Isn't he the candidate?
The answer is always the ***hole. Joe Biden is probably the dumbest member of the Senate. Next to him a box of rocks is Steven Hawking.
Biden is so Loathsome..no offense to my Delaware Freepers but what's with the people down there?
Has anyone else noticed that Biden says he called Allawi "Mr. President"?
When it should have been "Mr. Prime Minister"?
I'm sure it was just a mistake, right? Or did Biden say something completely different during the meeting?
ROFL, as if Biden has anything to say about it. This is strictly damage control for Kerry's gaffe.
Of course.........There are NO MIXED messeges being sent to Allawi from the Democrats are there? The DIMS are pathetic when it comes to foriegn affairs.
Allawi should ask former South Vietnamese officials what they think of this kind of promise...
Wonder what the Iraqi equivanent of "boat people" will be?
Someone needs to ask Kerry if he thinks the "blood bath" that will follow defeat in Iraq will be bigger that the one that followed the fall of Saigon...
Will KERRY backpedal tomorrow on Allawi? Of course, he will. And let the FlipFlop contine....
