White House spokesman Tony Fratto said the Lugar-Warner plan would be reviewed carefully.
"But we believe the new way forward strategy -- which became fully operational less than a month ago -- deserves the time to succeed," he said.
Fratto was referring to a U.S. troop buildup that began early this year to secure Baghdad from sectarian violence.
The two senators' initiative does not set deadlines for beginning the withdrawal of some of the nearly 160,000 U.S. troops now in Iraq or set a date for accomplishing a withdrawal, as Democrats want.
"reviewed carefully!" ha!
I would just pull everybody out, and apologize to the whole world. all that people and money could be cleaning up our own streets.
