Barack Obama: useless?
It’s easy enough to castigate Iraqies, now try it with Republicans, fool:
BAGHDAD — A delegation of congressional Democrats that included rising star Senator Barack Obama of Illinois had a blunt assessment yesterday for Iraq’s political leaders: Shape up, or America will ship out.
The continued US commitment to Iraq is becoming a tougher sell back home, the four lawmakers said, and unless Iraqis can start showing visible signs of progress by creating a broad-based government and security forces inclusive of all of Iraq’s ethnic and sectarian groups, Americans will lose patience, they said.
”It’s going to be hard to convince American taxpayers to pour water into a leaky bucket,” said Obama.
