Bush's Policy: Bombs
As the US bombs Falluja, killing hundreds of innocent civilians, this article from Reuters notes that "Leading Iraqi politicians called on re-elected President Bush on Thursday to rely more on talks and less on the gun to solve Iraq's problems."
Good luck. If Americans wanted a president who relies on diplomacy and negotiation, they wouldn't have re-elected Cowboy Bush. Inexplicably, millions of voters chose not to change horses in mid-apocalypse.
So get used to headlines like this one from this morning:
"Convoy Attack Wounds 20 US Marines in Iraq"
"Four Car Bombs, Attacks Kill 37 in Iraq's Samarra"
And remember these words of wisdom from leading Iraqi politicians:
"The United States should stop acting like an occupier, hand more control to Iraqis and stop backing a security apparatus that could start resembling that of Saddam Hussein," they said.
"American use of unchecked force will not work. Look at the security forces that have multiplied in the past few months. The result has been less security, not more," said Haidar al-Ubadi, a senior official in the Shi'ite Al-Dawa party, which worked with U.S. and British forces after last year's Iraq war to peacefully stabilize several Iraqi cities.
