Syria, Iran, and Dick Durbin Denounce New Bush Plan for Iraq

by John Little on 11/01/2007

You must be doing something right if…

Iran and Syria on Thursday denounced President Bush’s new Iraq strategy that blames them for fueling violence in the war-torn country, and they said the plan to send more U.S. troops would only increase bloodshed.

Bush’s speech Wednesday night underlined his staunch rejection of recommendations that Washington reach out to Syria and Iran in an attempt to calm Iraq.

You can see the full transcript of Durbin’s response here but it isn’t radically different from the Iranian and Syrian responses.

    Where are they getting all of these weapons from?
    We need to secure the border over there. Anybody that is wants to drive into Iraq now, must be a terrorist. Read my blog and tell me what you think. I am ex military, but I do not agree that this war is going to well. Something better has to be done.
