Can We Get Iraq Moving Again?

Thursday, June 8, 2006

The United States cannot afford to leave Iraq now, President Bush argues forcefully. But the real question is whether the United States can afford to stay in Iraq if the administration continues to squander the military, financial and political resources it promised to bring to bear after it toppled Saddam Hussein.

Neither the revenue being produced by Iraq's besieged oil industry nor what is left of the American financial commitments to reconstruct Iraq's infrastructure and train and equip its armed forces appear to be sufficient to stabilize the country and permit American combat troops to come home in a deliberate fashion.
