Iraq strikes out
Official: Iraq gov’t misses all targets
WASHINGTON – A progress report on Iraq will conclude that the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad has not met any of its targets for political, economic and other reform, speeding up the Bush administration’s reckoning on what to do next, a U.S. official said Monday.
One likely result of the report will be a vastly accelerated debate among President Bush’s top aides on withdrawing troops and scaling back the U.S. presence in Iraq.</em>
Really? I wonder what administration this writer has been following, because in King George land, facts don’t matter. Until those ungrateful Iraqis sign the “Our oil under your sand” bill, our troops stay put. At least those that are still alive and walking, that is.
