With this address , in conjunction with his January 10th “ new way forward ” speech , the President has taken full ownership of the Iraq war . The change is long overdue and welcome.But on the great issue of our time , the war in Iraq , Bush faces a skeptical Congress and a weary American people . finds the Iraq war an incubator for terrorism . The Europeans have been opposed to Bush 's adventure in Iraq in part because they knew it would distract from the war on terror . The June 6 consultations will come a day after council members went into seclusion with Secretary General Kofi Anan and his special representative for Iraq , Lakdar Brahimi , outside New York to discuss the Iraq resolution . The terrorists pouring into Iraq know full well the importance of destroying not just the nascent progress of Iraq toward stability , prosperity and democracy , but of destroying our confidence , of defeating our will to persevere . Market research indicates that American journalists who covered the Iraq war are the most likely to buy into the scam . ) The UN disburses the money first for reparations , then to finance its own operations in Iraq , and finally to the suppliers with which Iraq has had to make contracts . Despite the fact that some Democrats folded in the face of the Administration ’ s pressure on critical issues like the Iraq war and the protection of civil liberties , I am confident that after four years of single-party rule the US will be better served by Democratic control of Congress . Further , the PKK was one of the groups the US encouraged immediately after the Gulf War.43 With all this information , it is at best difficult to determine just how seriously to take the " terrorist threat " from Iraq especially since none of these groups has expressed any desire to attack the US . If Republican leaders do not rally behind a single proposal , the party could avoid taking a clear , united stance on the widely unpopular Iraq war — a consequence Lott suggested he would n't mind . What is less understandable is that this very same group has offices in Washington DC , not far from the White House , and is supported by several influential people , including former Sen. Robert Toricelli , Rep. Gary Ackerman ,41 and Sen. Jesse Helms.42 The PKK is one of the two major groups of Kurds in the north of Iraq , vying for control of the population . " If the administration had been serious and competent about establishing a functioning democracy in Iraq , it would have seen the need for a trustworthy criminal justice system in which all Iraqis could have confidence , " Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy , D-Vt ., said in prepared remarks . Some observers , claiming to have inside information have suggested that Baker may prefer to take a more comprehensive approach , linking Iraq and problems in the broader Middle East .
