OBAMA RESPONSE TO BUSH SPEECH: President Bush & McCain demand greater sacrifice without accountability from the Iraqi government

“I have watched with great admiration as our troops and their commanders have achieved security gains in Iraq, often at great cost. But once again, the President has failed to show us any real evidence of political progress in Iraq, which was the purpose of his policy. Instead, George Bush and John McCain continue to demand greater sacrifice from our troops and their families while lowering expectations for the Iraqi government itself. For the sake of our troops and our security, we cannot continue this failed policy indefinitely. It is time to end this war,” said Barack Obama.
