President Outlines Steps to Help Iraq Achieve Democracy and Freedom aka the Plan

We have a plan, although it doesn't sound all that new.President Outlines Steps to Help Iraq Achieve Democracy and Freedom

I noted 2 things. The President said, "We did not seek this war on terror..." If by this war on terror he means the war in Iraq he absolutely did seek it out. Ever hear of hunting the shot in basketball? He and his administration hunted a war.

If he means the overall war on terror including Afghanistan, and other venues he has some justification.

Overall, me thinks he is still in denial. Somehow he thinks he had no choice when he clearly did.

Second, Abu Ghraib prison will be torn down and a new prison built. A symbol of Iraq's new beginning. This even got applause.

Did I miss something? Did the prison walls come alive and torture people? Whether it was Saddam's people or US soldiers it was people who did the deeds.

Myself, I think leaving Abu Ghraib standing and serving as a symbol of past attrocities would be better than tearing it down and flushing it down the memory hole.
