It has been reported by the Washington Post that the Bush administration is seeking to have the Iraqi government complete reform legislation that has been long delayed within the next six months. One of our envoy's will again try to end the political deadlock.
Once again the time line has been pushed back by this President. When he announced the surge, September was going to be the time to judge. When September came and only 3 of 18 conditions were met, it was given another 3 months. Now Bush is giving them another 6 months which pushes the original time line to June 2008.
Mr. Bush continues to be wrong about everything concerning Iraq. It is a bottomless pit for taking American and Iraqi lives and the billions of dollars already consumed and Mr. Bush is pressing for more. The American people should note that with all the talk about Iraq being safer, 38 american troops were killed in October and November. That number stayed steady, and we have some people who want this war and occupation to go on forever.
This war is not worth one more american death. Too many have already been killed and wounded over WMD that did not exist. If the people keep reminding Congress of the reasons Bush gave for going to war, Congress would end this sad chapter in American history.
