Greenspan speaks the truth, Dems look for solutions and Gates shows he is a loyal Bushie.
"I'm saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: The Iraq war is largely about oil"
Secretary of defense Robert Gates was quick to Rush to the neo-conservatives defense, and declared that he does not believe this to be true. Keep wearing those rose colored glasses you little Bush lap dog.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos agreed with Greenspan's stating of the obvious.
Meanwhile Democrats are looking for a way to change Iraq policy, although without the veto proof majority, this is no easy task. Washington Post reports on the Webb amendemt:
One of their best opportunities to change policy, according to party strategists and White House aides, could be an amendment drafted by Sen. James Webb (D-Va.), a former Marine, to mandate that home leaves for troops last as long as their deployments.
The Pentagon now may keep units in Iraq as long as 15 months and send them back after 12 months of rest. Webb's measure could force the Bush administration to trim troop levels to comply with its requirements, and the White House opposes it. But it appears to be gaining momentum in the Senate, where it received 56 votes in July, just four shy of the 60 needed to break a filibuster.
Secretary of Defense Gates bravely defends Bush and prepares us for a Bush veto against the troops!
The only way to have a job with this sick administration is to agree with everything the neo-con degenrates want
