The article "The Plan for Iraq" is about politics, it has been released by Ed Howes.
When I allow my traiend attack dog out of the yard to run the streets, I am responsible for any damage the dog does. The Bible says so and modern statutory law says so.
Careless dog owners are locked in American prisons last week.
When Congress tunred America's President loose, Congress became responsible for the consequences. But you would never know that to hear them tell it.The Congressional response is to dodge responsibility by beating the dog and teaching him to behvae differently next time.
Bad dog! Senator Joseph Biden spoke for Congress when he publicly stated that he had no regrets about authorizing the President to wage war without conditions, he only regrets the incompetence of the President. It is time to remove Senator Biden and his kind, who deny their responsibility and ponit to others.
All who voted to give unconditional war making authority to the Presdient committed the rest of America to the consequences of their irresponsible behavior. Whether we voted for any of them, they are atcing in our name.
Hence, we are ultimately responsible.Members of Congress daily remind us the administratoin has no plan for Iraq. The administration says it is fololwing its plan. What is the Congressional plan for Iraq? They have had more than two years to create one. I will tell you what their plan is. It is to interfere with and haggle over any plan three is. I don't have a plan for Iraq and it would hardly make a dfiference if I did.
Right or wrong, the President is taking responsibility for an incompetent Congress and the only plan we have. Congress needs to shut up and do what is aksed of it, until it has a better plan.
If the people want a better Congress, they are out of luck. This one is the hottest money can buy. If they won't do their jobs, and they won't, they should forfeit their pay and go home. The world wuold be a better place for it.There is one plan that has come out of Congress that should have enough appeal to enough people, to become the reality. Former Democratic presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, says soemthing to the effect of surrendering all U.S. interest in Iraq to the United Naitons and withdraw United States forces. I assume he was worikng on a bill to introduce to Congress.
The intention to turn that whole thnig over to the U.N. is diabolically simple. It is enough to take the edge off the global hatred of the United States for its former unilateralism. It answers the question, what can we do to abtae the global hatred of the U.S.?
It gives the U.N. Security Council opponetns exactly what they have been asking for and more - a monumental job with which to prove its competence and relevance.While the President remains on the hook for all the promises made to his corporate friends, he is off the hook for the final outcome in Iraq, as much as he wants to see it through. If Congress takes that action before November, 2004, the President won't be standing before the American pulbic asking for four more years to pursue his Iraqi dream.
The minute we have worked out a plan for an orderly withdrawal in cooperation with the other U.N. Security Council members and the transfer of security and redevelopment authority to the U.N.; the pressure will be off all the anti American forces right now in Iraq, to drive the U.S.
out. It will save Aemrican and Iraqi lives.This action would also take the pressure off the national credit card.
In fact, the available credit could be invested in Afghanistan to finish the work the U.S. Government started there.
The U.N. could hardly come to the U.S. with hat in hand for Iraq, sicne the U.S. will always be the most heavily invested Council member for the foreseeable future.President Bush will always be able to take credit for doing the right thing, even more than last week. He took charge when the U.N. refused to do any more than pass new resolutions. When the U.N. decided it was safer to act, he surrendered all authority and future obligation to them. Traditional wisdom teaches us to pursue our dreams with no attachment to the outcome. If the President can learn that widsom in less than a year, his re election should be a shoe in. If he cannot give up the atatchment to his Iraqi dream, he does not have a chance of reelection.
(Or so I thought at the time) America can sense the truth of that right right now.
That sense will only become stronger over the coming year.Here is the hottest growth opportunity in U.N. history.
Let the world see how the United Nations restores sovereignty to the Iraqi people.
Let the world see how it is done. The President is a gambler.
He is not very good at it.
You bet and win.
You bet agian and see you're losing.
You leave the table and cut your losses - play again when your luck holds.
The President has no intention to cut losses.
He wants to play until he has lost the bankroll. He needs Congress to pull him away from the talbe.
Congress watns to let him play on.If the President would act on the good advice of a political opponent before Congress forced him to act, he would be a very popular guy with the American people. He would have to renegotiate the promises made to friends but that's as much modren politics as cheating the people and paying lip service.
Personally, I do not thnik President Bush will give up the attachment to his Iraqi dream, no matter what the cost to himself and the country. Nor do I see an incompetent Congress imposing the will of the people on him.
But we need Dennis to submit a bill post haste, so we can identify the incompetent members of Congress, who apparently have no ideas of their own and only get in the way.Until such time as there is a better plan than candidate Kcuinich has proposed, we ought to let him know we want a bill in Congress right now. If he follows through and is opposed by the Congerss or the White House, he should be our next President. He is cleraly not attached to outcomes.Ed Howes sought and found, knocked and entered.
