Via Washington Post:
“The military experts met with Bush, Vice President Cheney and about a dozen aides for more than an hour. The visitors told the officials that the situation in Iraq is as dire as the study group had indicated“
“Words cannot describe the miseries of the Iraqi people.”
They should realize that their procrastination could lead to upheavals. The following things can happen :
- Chaos could trigger the collapse of Iraq’s government.
- A humanitarian catastrophe has been created by U.S.
- Neighboring countries could intervene
- Sunni-Shia clashes could spread
The Bush administration U.S is responsible for all the deaths and destruction in Iraq. It is time they must clear the mess they have created. Otherwise Al-Qaeda will find pretext to expand its base of operations.
“The three retired generals and two academics disagreed in particular with the study group’s plans to reduce the number of U.S. combat troops
in Iraq and to reach out for help toIran and Syria“
US President George W. Bush doesn’t have much time to implement achange in strategy in Iraq. And anything he does is likely to bequestioned in the Middle East. Reactions from the region have been fullof skepticism.
There is nothing wrong in talking to Iran and Syria, to stabilize Iraq. But it looks neither western leaders nor Iraq is interested in diplomacy. The rhetorics from both side indicated that.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said.
“If the United States changes its attitude, the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to help this administration” to withdraw its troops from Iraq, Mottaki told a Gulf security conference in Bahrain, the home base of the US Fifth Fleet.”
The response of the Iranian Government shows they are not interested in talk.
Bush said that he would only welcome Iran and Syria to group talks on Iraq if they agree to end support for extremists and to help Baghdad’s fledgling government.
He said: “If people come to the table to discuss Iraq, they need to come understandingtheir responsibilities to not fund terrorists, to help this youngdemocracy survive, to help with the economics of the country.”
“And if people are not committed, if Syria and Iran [are] not committed to that concept, then they shouldn’t bother to show up.”
