U.S. Senate Approves Partition Plan in Iraq

While non-binding, what's interesting is the bi-partisan nature of the vote. 26 republican senators voted for the resolution, to include a co-sponsor- Kay Bailey Hutchison (R) Texas. Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell and minority whip Trent Lott also were among the supporters.

"Under the semi-autonomous enclaves plan, Iraq's federal government would retain responsibility for foreign policy, distribution of national oil revenues and defense of the country's borders..."

That's a rather tame notion of partition.
