Democrats or Republicans: Either Way 'Iraqis Are Doomed'Azzaman, Iraq

U.S. Democrats are gathering momentum to blame their adversaries, the Republican, for the Iraq debacle. The former have come to the realization that victory is no longer possible while the latter, and particularly their boss in the White House, are proceeding with their folly that triumph is still within reach.
Neither position is of any benefit to Iraq. Either way we are doomed. While the two continue sparring in Congress, their master in the White House remains unmoved.
The Democrats want to see President Bush leave the White House in humiliation and are using the miscalculation of his Iraq adventure as a pretext to achieve that aim.
Republicans have based their own standing and that of their country on the performance of U.S. soldiers in this country. If Republicans "cut and run," it will be a sign to the world and future generations of their foolishness and political immaturity.
But skirmishes in the U.S. Congress and the pages of American newspapers do no good for the Iraqi people. Their fearsome military has failed in win the war and tame the barefoot rebels of central Iraq.
The sectarian strife intensifies with every passing day. The sectarian infighting that pits one residential area against another, one village against another, one town against another and one region against another is spreading like wildfire.
