General Meyers said today to the Senate hearing, that we don't need more boots on the ground, but we need more international boots on the ground, because of the perception amongst the Iraqis that they were being occupied by the US. And to avoid that perception the US was asking the UN to send additional troops and aid.

Another example of getting the cart in front of the horse.

While both the left and the right on this thread share the goal of peace in the middle east, the way in which we should go about attaining that goal differs by a wide margin.

The Bushies want to do the pre-emptive military invasion, while the Dems prefer to work with the world nations to come up with a plan for peace that will work. Now the Bushies are coming around to this point of view, but only by looking in the rearview mirror. Impatience is owned by Bush.
