I'm hearing the white house and its allies complaining that its critics are trying to "micromanage" the war and that decisions about it should be left to the military. Whoa! The Democrats and a few Republicans are trying to stop the war, not manage it. It is the role of congress to declare war, not generals.
Another amazement: the legislative body of Iraq government had planned to take off two months for vacation this summer. Wow. After a lot of pressure from us, they decided to only take off one month or even maybe just a few weeks. Its staggering to think that these people are about to loose their American security blanket because of a lack of political progress and, knowing that, decide to stop work (and stop progress) for two months.
These are the people we are there to help. These are the people for whom our soldiers die. Americans will be killed in Iraq while they take vacation.
