| And so what are our new Democrats doing, planning to do, about Iraq? Can they really change what Bush wants to do with his "loose loose" policy for Iraq? Are the Democrats just going to sit back and let Bush dig his self a bigger hole? Clearly Bush is not in agreement with any of the operation changes the Demos have so far suggest, and the news is reporting that there are no "alternatives" on the table that are workable. Looks like the timetable for ending the Iraq war is when Bush leaves office. Unless the Democrats caN mute Bush with impeachment hearings and so forth to put him out of controlling the situation.
Bush said that he will not leave until the mission is completed, because 10 percent of the violence in Iraq is done by outsiders that he claims are part of Bin Ladens network of terrorists. Hey? Why not go after Bin Laden instead of pretending he is impossible to track down?
Bush is depending on the new Iraq government to "take charge" but right now they are in charge of parts of Bagdad and that is about all, the rest of the country is being ruled by their own local residents.
The odd thing is you never hear about the oil flieds and related business, you would think the terrorests would attack the oil company which is main stronghold for Americans, yet, they seem very secure compared to the rest of Iraq. |
