The Most Outrageous Scandal? Bush's Iraq Policy

With so much attention focused on the Foley scandal, there's another story that hasn't received enough notice: escalating violence in Iraq has resulted in the reported deaths of 24 U.S. soldiers since Saturday, and the Pentagon just reported that IED attacks in Iraq are at an all-time high.

Serious questions have been raised about Congressman Foley's outrageous conduct, and the actions of senior congressional leaders.

Those questions need answers, but we also need to be focused on the tragic situation in Iraq, and what a mess this Administration has gotten us into. This rise in casualties is a tragedy for the families of these brave soldiers, and it's a reminder of the terrible price this country is paying because of the Administration's failed Iraq policy.

We all saw the recently declassified key findings of the National Intelligence Estimate. One thing those findings underscored is that our continued and indefinite presence in Iraq is benefiting global terrorist networks that threaten our country. The war has been a disaster, but the Administration refuses to admit its mistake. It refuses to do what's right for our national security. By "staying the course," this Administration is ignoring the conditions on the ground in Iraq and the growing threats we face around the world.

The American people aren't going along with the Administration's head-in-the-sand approach. In Wisconsin, and everywhere I go around the country, people want to get our troops out of Iraq. But, despite how much the American people want all this to end, we are still there and soldiers are still dying. Here's today's Washington Post report on the violence:

Who was that republican campaign manger who bugged his own office, near election time, in Texas and blamed it on the democrat?

People were outraged at the Dem who took all the heat for such underhanded shenanigans and the republican came from behind and won.

When it was later found out the republican campaign manger was really the one to bug his own office---Too late, the republican was already sworn in.

Who was that guy?

I don't know if Feingold & Kerry are working together on this, but Kerry is hammering them about Iraq too. :thumbsup:
