McConnell: Iraq Is Disappointing Me

``The Iraqi government is a huge disappointment, So far, they've not been able do anything they promised on the political side,It's a growing frustration. I don't know what their problem is but this country has made an enormous investment in giving the Iraqis a chance to have a normal government after all of these years of Saddam Hussein and his atrocities. I want to assure you, if they vote to ask us to leave, we'll be glad to comply with their request,''


No, that's not Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, that's Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky)

McConnell's comments echo the idea that Congress is beginning to lose patience with this war. While he still supports the President's plan, McConnell's comments make the crack on the Republican side of Congress even more obvious.

Then again, maybe McConnell is scared of being Daschled next year. There's only so much Iraq war Kentucky can take.

Anyway, these are words I waited patiently to hear ANYBODY on the GOP side of the isle said. I know my biggest disappointment is the laziness and lack of ambition the Iraqi government has to take back their country. Then again, why should they try? They have the best military in the world defending them for as long as they want them to. I would take a two month vacation too.
