Bush is making Iraq the issue. For months, we've been hearing that if Iraq is the issue, the GOP loses. So, their leader is undermining the Republican candidates. Yesterday, Bush said he's accountable for the problems in Iraq. The Republicans on the Hill have blindly followed Bush -- and never held him accountable.
Iraq is the issue:
The U.S. military on Thursday announced the deaths of five U.S. troops in fighting in Iraq, raising to 96 the number of American forces killed this month.Staying the course has deadly consequences.
The four Marines and one Navy sailor all died in fighting in Anbar province, a hotbed of the Sunni insurgency against U.S. troops and their Iraqi government allies.
The 96 deaths is the highest monthly total since October 2005, when the same number of American forces were killed.
