Largest Iraq veterans' group says Bush plan falls short

From a release issued to RAW STORY.

#
NEW YORK – Iraq Veteran and Operation Truth Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff released the following statement today, following President Bush's speech at the Naval Academy.

“The plan the President outlined for Iraq is an improvement over the administration’s previous plan, which consisted only of “stay the course.” But as a Veteran of this war and someone who talks to other Veterans everyday, I can say that in the eyes of the Troops, this plan still falls short in two important ways.

...

The President must provide well-defined conditions for success and a timeline for our commitment in Iraq. Until that happens, his plan cannot be seen as credible in the eyes of the Troops and Veterans of this war. I wouldn’t give this plan a failing grade, I would give it an ‘incomplete.’”

Operation Truth is the nation's first and largest Iraq War Veterans organization.

1. The only viable plan is cut-n-run
The plan is on course.

2. I'd like to read that damn 29-page
report that will outline "success" in Iraq. I want to see what gibberish these fools have concocted over the weekend.

I'm really busy, but I'm going to take time to read this.
