Iraq Policy a Failure

A high commission report, just released today, has bluntly accused the policy in the Iraq to be a failure. The report says the US has lost their respect of influence in the region and should withdraw troops by 2008. Just so we do not leave Iraq hanging completely in the dark, the commission has suggested that troop levels of those who are training Iraqi personnel be increased and placed them on a timeline to be completed by 2008.
Of course the report is only a report. The final decision is left upon the man - President Bush. This report is a further blow to his adamant decision to continue to stay in Iraq until the mission is over. The mission to restore Iraq and take down the insurgency is one the Iraqi's need to solve for themselves. The shortcomings of the US is being taken over by other middle eastern nations. Iran and Syria have both offered their assistance to find a solution to this ongoing Civil War.
