(The Guardian) - The top US commander in Iraq admitted yesterday that the conflict would "get harder before it gets easier", providing further ammunition for Democrats determined to face down George Bush in their constitutional clash over the Iraq war. Hours before the Senate passed legislation ordering troops to start leaving Iraq by October, General David Petraeus said the conflict was "the most complex and challenging I have ever seen". Gen Petraeus, who was put in charge of the Baghdad troop "surge" to pacify the Iraqi capital, warned of the enormous commitment and sacrifice facing the US in Iraq. Link |
