We have become accustomed to Bush, Cheney, Rumsie and Condi all spinning a line on how well things are progressing in Iraq. It's just that the actual facts on the ground tell a quite different story - as we witness every day in one way or another.
Now, perhaps for the first time, a senior US official - no lesser person than the US Ambassador to Iraq - openly acknowledges the fiasco that has become the Iraq War. For instance, there was no exit strategy. I already heard that in late January 2003 when viewing a PBS current affairs program the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee [senior Republican Luger] admitted as much - and that was before the invasion got underway!
The Ambassador, and the Administration, may well have their own agenda for the admissions now being made - hard to believe otherwise! - but what is being said should be read nevertheless. Read it here from AlerNet.
