-Congress and President Bush are at odds over the War in Iraq. Bush was pleading for patience earlier this week from Congress to give more time for his revised battle plan.
-"The new strategy will need more time to take effect" Bush stated. He also challenged Congress to send him a war funding bill "without strings and without delay."
-Nancy Pelosi replied to that by stating:
- "The American people have lost confidence in President Bush's plan for a war without end in Iraq"and "That failed approach has been rejected by the voters in our nation and it will be rejected by the Congress."
-The war has been going on for over four years and has already claimed the lives of over 3200 U.S troops, that is not including the many innocent casualties that have lost their lives in Iraq.
-In this News Flash article, Jennifer Loven stated:
-The public overwhelmingly opposes the war, and Bush's approval rating stands near his all-time low. Trying to halt spiraling sectarian bloodshed, Bush has ordered nearly 30,000 more combat and support troops to Iraq, mostly to stabilize Baghdad.
-The poll, by ABC News, USA Today, the BBC and ARD German TV, found only 18 percent of Iraqis have confidence in U.S. and coalition troops, 86 percent are concerned that someone in their household will be a victim of violence and 51 percent say violence against American forces is acceptable.
-It is a shame that 51% of Iraqis find it acceptable to commit violent acts against American forces. I am also saddened that 86% are scared for their lives and families that they might become a victim of violence.
-I can not imagine living in fear like that. There is something that should be done, aren't we are supposed to be protecting these people? Yet they are still living in fear.
