Top Republican says this is Iraq’s last chance again

WASHINGTON - Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned Iraq on Friday that President George W. Bush’s decision to send more American troops into the country is “their last chance to get it right.”

McConnell, a leading congressional supporter of Bush’s strategy, said the Iraqis must step up their efforts to secure their own country.

“This (new US-led mission) ... which requires significant Iraqi participation to succeed, is their last chance to get it right,” McConnell said in an interview with Reuters.

“I’m among a number of people that the Iraqis would pay attention to, and that message is for them,” said McConnell, declining to specify how much time they should have or what the United States should do if they failed.

3. Mitch will hopefully be relegated to junk mail in 08. He must be getting
a tad worried...maybe heard from a few more Kentucky voters than just me. I scorched the phone lines when I left him my opinion of his pitiful Iraq policy last week.
