Parroting the President

Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi delivered a familiar sounding speech to Congress last week. It sounded strangely similar to something the Bush administration would have said. Look at some of the similarities between the Iraqi and Yankee talking points the Washington Post's Dana Milbank noticed:

"The world is better off without Saddam Hussein." -- Allawi

"The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power." -- Bush

Iraqi forces "are striking their enemies wherever they hide." -- Allawi

"We're fighting these enemies wherever they hide." -- Bush

There are tons more similarities. Now the search is on for the ghostwriter. (WashPost)
