White House Rethinks Rejected Iraq Advice
Wed Nov 12, 6:25 PM ET

By SONYA ROSS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - After largely ignoring advice from Europeans, the United Nations (news - web sites) and members of Congress, President Bush (news - web sites) and his inner circle now must sift through some of those very suggestions in search of a way to kick-start the transfer of power in Iraq (news - web sites) before the country spins out of control.

Bush and his top aides, along with the U.S. administrator in Baghdad, spent much of the day Wednesday in an urgent, impromptu review of the postwar setup in Iraq. It is a crisis of the administration's own making, critics say, brought on by indifference to expertise that comes from outside its own insular circle, or that runs counter to its agenda.


Pretty embarrassing stuff...........not only does the emperor have no clothes but he's been parading 24/7 for weeks now.

Last nite, while listening to the news, it struck me that this was the kind of disaster that usually afflicts some third world country run by a tin pot dictator say like Saddam's Iraq. Who knew that it could happen to a country of our stature.
