Bush Scolds Congress About Iraq

[Rusty Trichome]

Bush suggested that Iraqi officials were able to make more progress than the U.S. Congress.

"They're trying to build a modern democracy on the rubble of three decades of tyranny, in a region of the world that has been hostile to freedom. And they're doing it while under assault from one of history's most brutal terrorist networks," Bush said. "When it takes time for Iraqis to reach agreement, it is not foot-dragging, as one senator described it during Congress' two-week Easter recess. It is a revolutionary undertaking that requires great courage."

You mean it's not like SIM City? Set the game in motion, put in a couple of roads, a power plant, some police stations, and let it run itself while they ship us all of their oil? Well that sux.

"No matter what shortcomings these critics diagnose, their prescription is always the same: retreat," Bush said. "They claim that our strategic interest is elsewhere and if we would just get out of Iraq, we could focus on the battles that really matter."

Yes, they are focused on important matters: Like steroids...? Like denying the Patriot act a vote...? Like the House buying carbon credits with our tax dollars, to alleviate guilt over the U.S. Capitol's coal-burning power plant...?* (Guilt, due to overwhelmingly sketchy science, and a sleezy former VP promoting this lie)

What they fail to mention in this article is that Iraq NOW has in it's budget to start taking care of the majority of the security expenses plus more.
As close as they are from independence here, the only reason that I can see why the Dems are still in favor of running out is that they want Iraq to fail. Maybe so they can say, "I told ya so?"..... maybe they just don't want to go down in history as looking like fools? I'm sure the answer is behind some closed door in Washington.

Too late...the 'Fools' label has already been firmly attached to their policies, practices and choices for candidates.
Would have thought they would be vetting their candadates with a fine-tooth comb, before they turn the candadate loose to face the GOP. With all the cash that was/is going to the dems, you'd think they could buy better poll results.:thumbsup:
