Senate Makes Another Mistake
From the Washington Post:
Once again, the Senate rejects a reasonable proposal. US troops enflame an already delicate situation; every scandal gives more power to the insurgency and both US and Iraqi civilians die in the process. Bringing our troops home would allow Iraq to settle their civil war.
A friend of mine in Iraq tells me the US is putting permanent infrastructure in its bases: no matter what sort of scale back the war hawks have in mind, it doesn't seem to involve giving up our military presence there. Just another mistake to add to the long list.
The Senate today rejected proposals on withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq, decisively voting down two competing Democratic amendments -- one that set a deadline for a pullout and the other that stopped short of establishing a timetable.
