Biden's Bush's Iraq Timetable

I was very critical of Senator Joe Biden's (D, MBNA) editorial in the Washington Post yesterday where he kind of called called for a withdrawal from Iraq. Well someone liked it, the Bush White house.
White House lays foundation for US troop withdrawal

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The White House for the first time has claimed possession of an Iraq withdrawal plan, arguing that a troop pullout blueprint unveiled this past week by a Democratic senator was "remarkably similar" to its own.

The statement late Saturday by White House spokesman Scott McClellan came in response to a commentary published in The Washington Post by Joseph Biden, the top Democrat of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in which he said US forces will begin leaving Iraq next year "in large numbers."

According to Biden, the United States will move about 50,000 servicemen out of the country by the end of 2006, and "a significant number" of the remaining 100,000 the year after.

The blueprint also calls for leaving only an unspecified "small force" either in Iraq or across the border to strike at concentrations of insurgents, if necessary.

In the White House statement, which was released under the headline "Senator Biden Adopts Key Portions Of Administration's Plan For Victory In Iraq," McClellan said the administration of President George W. Bush welcomed Biden's voice in the debate.

"Today, Senator Biden described a plan remarkably similar to the administration's plan to fight and win the war on terror," the spokesman went on to say.

I'm at a loss for words.

And speaking of worthless Democrats:
GOP picks Lieberman as favorite Democrat

WASHINGTON-- Sen. Joe Lieberman's steadfastly centrist views in an era of partisan politics have won the admiration of the opposing party.

National Journal, a weekly Washington magazine covering politics and government, asked 101 members of Congress and 137 lobbyists, former government officials and other political insiders which Democrat in Congress they most admire.

I don't think any commentary is necessary.
