President Repackages Failed Iraq Plan

Thirty-seven days before the transition, the president still cannot describe what the interim Iraqi government will look like.

CfAP - President Bush's speech last night on Iraq – the first salvo in a public relations campaign meant to substitute for real action – fell short on all fronts. Repackaging the current U.S. approach as a five-step plan is not a substitute for a policy that details how Iraq will be governed, how long American troops will stay there and how much all of this will cost American taxpayers.

The president still will not say how much more money the United States will spend in Iraq or how long our troops will be there.

The Iraqi and American people are growing increasingly worried about the direction of U.S. policy in Iraq.
