Former Clinton admin aide endorses Biden's Plan for Iraq
Biden-Brownback Plan Combined With Hillary Clinton Timing Could Extricate
U.S. From Iraq

WASHINGTON, July 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A former Clinton White
House Public Affairs Director and spokesman for the House Government
Operations Committee, Bob Weiner, and a former House and Senate
Congressional Foreign Affairs Legislative Assistant, John Larmett, in an
op-ed in the Wichita Eagle, wrote that "a sort of United States of Iraq ...
The Biden-Brownback plan could extricate us from the long war." The
bipartisan plan, proposed by U.S. Senators Joe Biden (D-DE) and Sam
Brownback (R-KS), both running to succeed Bush, "would assist Iraq by
giving each of the three ethno-religious groups -- Sunnis, Shiites and
Kurds -- a sub-state under the overall federation to pursue their
interests."
If the Biden-Brownback plan is combined with Senator Hillary Clinton's
timing commitment that "If this president does not end this war before he
leaves office, when I am president, I will", Weiner and Larmett assert that
"we may have an Iraq escape hatch that we can all legitimately call
'victory'."

It's actually the Biden/Gelb plan, Brownback has endorsed it.
