Sen. Joe Lieberman, attacked by fellow Democrats as being too close to the
White House on the Iraq War, on Sunday called on Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld to resign but said the United States cannot "walk away" from the

Lieberman to consider Iraq pullout plan

By SUSAN HAIGH
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Sen. Joe Lieberman, the three-term Democrat whose
independent campaign for re-election is being seen as a referendum on
the Iraq war, said Friday he would consider taking a look at a fellow
lawmaker's proposal for a timeline for troop withdrawals.

What is real interesting is that the "fellow lawmaker" is a Republican
who has been hammered for his support of the Iraq occupation and is now
considering changing his stand.

Ain't politics grand?
