Bush admits to failure of Iraq policy, sort of.
Okay, now I read about this speech by the President: Bush Blames Iraq Violence on Al-Qaeda covered by the Washington Post. Using information already disclosed a couple of years ago, Mr. Bush claims that the Al Quaeda organization in Iraq is in a position to foment attacks outside Iraq.
Does anyone remember that none of the 9/11 criminals were Iraqi, that Mr. S. Hussein had no ties to Al Quaeda? Remember that?
Now, we’ve been at war there, what, 4 years now? So we’ve gone from no Al Qaeda in Iraq to an Al Qaeda organization funded and supplied enough not only to operate there, but to carry out operations beyond the borders? And this while arguably the most powerful army in the world is occupying the country?
I don’t what Mr. Bush was attempting by his speech, but it seems to me to be nothing less than an admission of failure. In his own words, we are far worse off than we were when this war started. I wonder what the graduating class was thinking?
