Good editorial.
Did the Wa. Post offer a rebuttal?
Has any Democrat called him an American lap dog yet?
"We will draw on the country's untapped workforce to kick-start extensive reconstruction, put into motion an initiative for genuine national reconciliation, and increase the intensity and efficacy of building the military and police. While some parts of the country have been very quiet and secure, this has not resulted in increased investment or reconstruction. Our government will correct this imbalance and develop the infrastructure and services in these more secure regions, making them a model for the rest of the country. We will mobilize the impressive energy and skills of Iraq's young population to invigorate the rebuilding effort. "
Yay! It's about damn time. Still not holding my breath waiting for these people to seize their golden opportunity.
I really like this guy. A good man in a storm. And a very cool character. The Right Stuff.
"Finally, to achieve this vision, it is necessary that Iraq's neighbors not interfere in its internal matters. While some neighboring countries provided refuge for many Iraqis during the rule of the dictatorial Baathist regime, this does not give them a right to meddle in Iraq now or turn a blind eye to terrorists' operations."
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!!! Bingo!!!
