Dereliction of Duty
Bush has decided to pass off his responsibilities to Petraeus and Crocker. Only Bush can give a clear vision of his policy in Iraq. Neither Petraeus or Crocker can answer these question. Petraeus can only say what is happening militarily and Crocker can only give an update on Iraqi and US relations. The frustration with many is Bush has never said what he wants to accomplish other than in such abstract words such as victory. He seems to be convinced that Iraqi can only be content with US presence without ever becoming clear what this presence means. Could it be possible that Iraqis could work out their own problems? Even Maliki stated yesterday the Iraqi security forces would be able to function on their own. The only way the US can get victory in Iraq is to start running the government then the Americans will know who their enemies are. They will be all Iraqis. Right now the "enemy is us".
