Re: Thirteen US troops killed in Iraq
Bush has had reports, reccomendations, studies, advice, white papers, etc given to him ever since he undertook this blunder (and before) that he and his neocon staff have ignored.
Since he has lost the election (mainly because of his blunders), replaced some neocons and had a biparitisan group of very distinguished indivuals tell him his policy has, is, and will be - wrong - he FINALLY has been backed into a corner and has now got to admit the errors. It is unbelievable that it took this long.
Hopefully it is not too late for Iraq to come out of this stable, prosperous and peaceful.
