The left's inability to deal with the facts never ceases to amaze me. However, here goes: Biden's is far different from Pipes. BTW, Pipes is not an administration official, merely a mid-east expert.Here is Biden's proposal: In the Washington Post of November 26, Joe Biden of Delaware, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and an aspiring presidential candidate, wrote an oped column entitled "Time for An Iraq Timetable." Biden declared that in 2006 U.S. troops .... "will begin to leave in large numbers. By the end of the year, we will have redeployed about 50,000. In 2007, a significant number of the remaining 100,000 will follow. A small force will stay behind -- in Iraq or across the border -- to strike at any concentration of terrorists." Close reading will show you that Biden's proposal is nowhere near what Pipes proposed. Or, perhaps, Biden has other proposals (one for every occasion)...wouldn't surprise me. Curious Stranger,
