Playing politics with Iraq

U.S. military and civilian officials have identified 20 to 30 towns and cities in Iraq that must be pacified before nationwide elections can be held in January, The New York Times reported Friday.

Civilians involved in the process also told the Times that the new approach was formulated in part to counter criticism from President Bush's Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry, that the administration has no plan for Iraq.

So this new plan isn't really designed to quell terrorist uprisings, engender free elections in Iraq or spare the lives of our soldiers, but rather ("in part") to counter criticism from challenger John Kerry. This is also known as helping get Bush re-elected. Is everything politics with these people? Aaarrrrggghh! They make my head hurt. (From the ever-vigilant Americablog.)
