GOP Sen. McCain says Bush needs to level with the American people about Iraq. |
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, wrote Sunday in a Washington Post op-ed
article that "the administration should level with the American people
about the cost and commitment required to transform Iraq."
"I'm not discouraged, but I'm disappointed," said Rep. Henry Hyde, the
House International Relations Committee chairman.
"I think there was less thought given to the postwar, or the
post-combat, aspect of the war than should have been."
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said money for Iraq should be "in
the form of a loan that's going to be paid back either from the oil
revenues or from contributions from other countries."
"I believe that the citizens of America have paid their fair share and
more of this part of the war on terrorism," said Hutchison, a Senate
Appropriations Committee member.

Frustrated lawmakers question Bush Iraq policies
Republican Sen. John McCain recently wrote an article saying the
administration needs to "level with the American people" about Iraq.
WASHINGTON (AP) --
Once wary of criticizing a popular wartime president's handling of
Iraq, members of Congress are shedding their inhibitions.
Returning to Washington this week after a summer break, some are
questioning whether President Bush could do more to get help from
other countries to secure and rebuild Iraq, whether he has enough U.S.
troops there and how much the war will cost in U.S. lives and taxpayer
dollars.
Iraq will be among the top items on a busy congressional agenda that
also will include efforts to work out a prescription drug benefit for
the elderly, a national energy bill and 13 appropriations bills to
fund 2004 federal programs.
Frustrations over Iraq have increased in Washington and around the
nation as the American death toll has risen.

That's the original plan, get the oil to pay for the war and steal the
rest. I suspect Bush will get neither because he stepped in ***** by
not realizing that he's the outsider in the middle of a religious hate
culture bent on civil war.
Iraq will become an even greater Nutocracy then cowboy Bush can
handle. What we will get out of it all is a large dose of fascism.
