Growing criticism in Congress
of Bush “plan” for Iraq
WASHINGTON, January 29.— Just 20
senators are supporting the so-called new strategy
proposed by President George W. Bush in Iraq,
according to Democrat Joseph Biden, head of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Biden rejected
the idea that opposition to more U.S. troops in the
Arab country is encouraging the insurgency.
“It’s not the American people or
the U.S. Congress who are emboldening the enemy,”
said Joe Biden. “It’s the failed policy of this
president — going to war without a strategy, going
to war prematurely,” the AP reported.
Republican Minority Leader
Senator Mitch McConnell said that he was doubtful
the proposals would win a majority. “I am not
certain that any of these will get 60 votes.”
