AWOL Putting His Preznit Campaign Before American Lives |
Letting the hacks in White House decide how to run militray
operations. Yeah, that really worked in Vietnam.
=======================================================
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration will DELAY major assaults on
rebel-held cities in Iraq until after U.S. elections in November, say
administration officials, mindful that large-scale military offensives
could affect the U.S. presidential race.
Although American commanders in Iraq have been buoyed by recent
successes in insurgent-held towns such as Samarra and Tall Afar,
administration and Pentagon officials say they will not try to retake
cities such as Fallujah and Ramadi -- where insurgents' grip is
strongest and U.S. military casualties could be the greatest -- until
after Americans vote in what is likely to be a close election.
"When this election's over, you'll see us move very vigorously," said
one senior administration official involved in strategic planning,
speaking on condition of anonymity.
"Once you're past the election, it changes the political
ramifications" of a large-scale offensive, the official said. "We're
not on hold right now. We're just not as aggressive."
