Former Navy secretary says Republicans can't fix Iraq quagmire

Well, of course they can't. They are serial liars and war criminals. They will not be effective at anything regarding Iraq or any other place in the middle east.

No one believes anything they say. That makes them a non-starter, nuch as they said Arafat was.

WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News: Former Navy secretary says Republicans can't fix Iraq quagmire:

"RICHMOND, Va.: A Democrat seeking a Senate seat in Virginia says President Bush and the Republican-led Congress can't get the U-S out of the bloody quagmire they created in Iraq.

Jim Webb was President Reagan's Navy secretary in 1987 and 1988. He's using the Democrats' weekly radio address to call on leaders to admit the war isn't going well and fix the problem.

Webb is one of the most decorated Marines from the Vietnam War. He left the Republican Party over President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. He's challenging Republican Senator George Allen.

Webb said some say that speaking out against a war is disloyal to the troops. But he says people should consider, in his words, 'what it's like to be a troop, wishing someone would speak the truth.'"
