Michael Ramirez on the Iraq War and Democrats
AP: Iraqi officials discourage U.S. pullout
Worried Congress’ support for Iraq is deteriorating rapidly, Baghdad dispatched senior officials to Capitol Hill this week to warn members one-on-one that pulling out U.S. troops would have disastrous consequences.
The lobbying push targeted Republicans and Democrats alike, but focused primarily on those considered influential on the war debate. On Thursday, hours before the House voted to limit funds for the war, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh met with more than 30 House Republicans and more than a half-dozen senators, including Sens. Harry Reid , D-Nev., John Warner , R-Va., and Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.
But, the Democrats do not care about success in Iraq. They wish to parlay American frustration with the war to gain political advantage.
