Biden: White House has no plan to 'win Iraq'

NEW YORK (AP) - While the White House has a plan to not "totally lose" Iraq, Senator Joe Biden says the Bush administration has no plan on how to win there.

The Delaware Democrat tells CBS' "The Early Show" that the White House needs to find a way to get Sunni Arabs to buy into the new Iraqi government. As it stands now, he says there is no unity government in Baghdad, with a large part of the army and essentially the entire police force acting as "sectarian death squads."

Biden suggests one way to bring the Sunnis around could be giving them a larger slice of Iraq's oil revenues and more autonomy for Iraqi regions controlled by Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis.
