Democrats seeks disapproval of State Department on Iraq

Democrats are demanding that the Bush administration be open about the possibility that the U.S.-backed government in Iraq is corrupt. The Bush administration says that "speaking openly about Iraqi corruption would undermine U.S.-Iraqi relations", but the Democrats do not see the sense of supporting a government that ignored corruption. As Bush asks Congress for an additional $190 billion to pay for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan for another year, Democrats are advocating that "it is essential that Congress and the people of the United States know the extent of corruption in the Iraqi government and whether corruption is fueling the insurgency and endangering members of the Unites States Armed Forces," according to New York Times.

This is indeed another twist in the "War on Iraq" saga. These new developments make the war seem even more complicated and gives the Bush administration a bad image. Maybe its time for Bush to step up and suck in some pride and say that the war should be ended immediately.
