“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Rep Meehan:Iraq policy is failing

Boston Globe:
U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan, who returned Saturday from his second visit to Iraq, said the Bush administration's policy is failing and proposed phased troop reductions that would leave a small force in Iraq by next year.

Speaking at a press conference at Logan International Airport, Meehan said the security situation had deteriorated since his first visit to Iraq in August 2003.

"Despite sending more soldiers and more money to Iraq, we are only seeing more violence," he said, according to his prepared remarks. "Our current policy in Iraq is failing."
