Fixing Iraq?
If George Bush had made his announcement when he first made the decision irrespective of the political consequences, a new Secretary of Defense could already be in place. If the change of Secretary of Defense suggests a change in policy and if a change in policy will ultimately result in a reduction in the number of dead and wounded American service personnel, as it surely will when the withdrawals begin to take place, it seems a pity that Mr. Bush delayed changing the policy fearing a change might adversely affect Republicans in November. Some people would have thought saving lives should be the highest priority. George Bush is not among them.
