Biden: Bush Administration 'Phonies'
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday called the Bush administration "phonies" for suggesting a modest withdrawal of troops from Iraq is the result of progress rather than the fact that the U.S. has no more troops to send.

In a conference call with reporters, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Democrats made the "right decision" to not claim that the drawdown was a result of their congressional pressure.

"I think it would have made us look as bad as they are, the phonies that they're being," said the Delaware senator.<snip>

"There is no plan 'to win,'" Biden said. "No plan how to leave. No plan how to end this. It's just a plan to keep ... all the venom from spilling out over the region, and we're using somewhere 160,000 to 130,000 troops to do that. The bottom line of it is is that we are no safer."

Responding to Biden's criticism, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Lisa Camooso Miller said: "Isn't it ironic that on the 20-year anniversary of Joe Biden's plagiarism flap, he uses the word 'phony'? It's a shame the Democrats in the Senate, along with their '08 contenders, continue to criticize and offer no alternative plan, rather than stand with the troops fighting in Iraq."

1. Oh, Jesus -- I knew they were just waiting to haul out that old "plagiarism

flap". Oooh, you're right. All Bush and Co's illegal doings and despicable actions pale by comparison

And I love this:

AND OFFER NO ALTERNATIVE PLAN? Is she fucking high?

4. I'm sure the RNC has books full of attack material for each Dem candidate.

It was only a matter of time before the Biden/Plagiarism issue came up. Imagine what they'd do with that should he be the nominee. :eyes:
