"Lieberman: `We Do Have A Plan'"

..."If all goes well, we could be in a position to draw down a significant number of forces by the end of 2006, the beginning of 2007," Lieberman said.

The senator said he hopes Bush will emphasize details of progress Wednesday.

"There are more cars on the street and an amazing number of satellite dishes on rooftops," the senator said, "and what seems like millions of cellphones.

"Most exciting is the political stuff. ... There is a campaign going on there for the Dec. 15 National Assembly elections and there are a lot of independent television stations and newspapers covering it."

Lieberman acknowledged that the United States should have had more troops available after Saddam Hussein was overthrown in 2003.

"But what's happening on the ground now shows those leading our effort now have learned from our mistakes," he said, "and they're going with what works."
