Returning From Iraq, Lieberman Praises U.S. Strategy, Urges Bush To Tout Successes
WASHINGTON — Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, just back from Iraq, wants President Bush to give the American people details about the progress being made in that country - from military triumphs to the proliferation of cellphones and satellite dishes.
Bush is scheduled to give the nation a progress report on Iraq Wednesday, his first such address since Congress erupted two weeks ago in bitter debate over the war.
Supporters and critics alike have been urging the president to outline his strategy for some time.
Critics sense a mission adrift. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., visited Iraq last month, and came away saying “we need a major course correction” in American policy - notably “we need to let Iraqis know we’re not there forever.”
But Lieberman, D-Conn., who spent Wednesday and Thursday in Iraq, saw strong evidence that a workable American plan is in place.
“We do have a strategy,” he said. “We do have a plan. I saw a strategy that’s being implemented.”
