Reid's Office Responds to WH Dana Perino: "Bush Administration Has Head in the Sand"

[bigtree]

WASHINGTON, April 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jim Manley, spokesman
for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, released the following statement
today after comments made by White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana
Perino:

"As we learned last November, the only thing that has shifted is the
public support for the war in Iraq. As more and more Americans demand to
see the troops get out of what is clearly a civil war, this administration
stubbornly continues to stick its head in the sand."

The major components of the bipartisan language contained in the
Senate-passed Supplemental and the Feingold bill are identical. They are:
-- Commence transition of the mission and phased redeployment in 120 days

-- Transition mission to three purposes:

(1) Provide security for United States infrastructure and personnel.

(2) Train and equip Iraqi security services.

(3) Conduct targeted operations, limited in duration and scope,
against members of al Qaeda and other international terrorist
organizations.

-- Finish transition by March 2008

Feingold ensures that the president complies with this March 2008
deadline by limiting funding after that deadline to only those three
missions.

1. Nixon at least saw a light at the end of the tunnel

Bush does not even see the tunnel.

As the Vietnam War dragged on, the government's continued optimism in the face of ongoing bad news was summed up in the phrase "there's light at the end of the tunnel." This implied that the end of the war - and a U.S. victory - was in sight.
