“In a 45-minute pep rally in a basement conference room at the Capitol, Mr. Bush told more than 200 House and Senate Republicans that the United States was firmly committed to transferring power to the Iraqis on June 30 and insisted that the temporary government would not be under American control, lawmakers said. Specifically, Mr. Bush told the group that the new American ambassador to Iraq, John D. Negroponte, would not be a de facto successor to L. Paul Bremer III, the top American civilian administrator in Iraq who is to step down July 1.” (New York Times)
Is there a Republican in the Senate or the House who is still credulous enough to believe this??
