I just love the way Senator Feingold always points out that Bush's Iraq debacle is DISTRACTING us from and WEAKENING us in the real struggle against terrorism.
Here's a statement from his senate website today:
Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
On the GAO Report Criticizing the President’s Iraq Strategy July 13, 2006 Washington D.C. – U.S. Senator Russ Feingold released this statement today following the release of a Government Accountability Office report entitled, “Rebuilding Iraq: More Comprehensive National Strategy Needed to Help Achieve U.S. Goals and Overcome Challenges.” “The report released by the Government Accountability Office criticizing the President’s Iraq strategy is another red flag that
we need to change course in Iraq. Suggesting that the Administration’s strategy for Iraq isn’t really a strategy at all,
the GAO report says that the Administration has not been straightforward with Congress regarding the costs of the Iraq
war and that it has failed to identify the resources for, or costs
of, our indefinite military presence in Iraq. The report clearly
calls for measurable benchmarks for success in Iraq and accountability for U.S. taxpayer dollars being used there. Unfortunately, the Administration continues to ignore
mounting calls to change its Iraq policy, which has been
both a distraction from the larger global fight against
terrorist networks and a drain on our nation’s resources.” A copy of the report can be obtained at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06953t.pdf.
