In one, President Bush has had to go hat in hand to countries the pentagon snubbed yesterday. "President Bush found himself in the awkward position on Wednesday of calling the leaders of France, Germany and Russia to ask them to forgive Iraq's debts, just a day after the Pentagon said it was excluding those countries and others from $18 billion in American-financed Iraqi reconstruction projects." Story from the New York Times.
In the other, the Pentagon is accusing Dick Cheney's old company of gouging them on fuel prices. "A Pentagon investigation has found overcharging and other violations in a $15.6 billion Iraq reconstruction contract awarded to Vice President Dick Cheney’s former company, a defense official said Thursday." Story from MSNBC.COM.
It is hard to believe that anybody would consider dropping President Bush when he is clearly doing so wonderful.
