We're establishing an Iraqi Congress. Wait, no we're not.
The policy reversals keep on comin'. Geez, if it were Democrats reversing themselves like this, the media would be trotting out those insipid 'waffle house' cliches.
Iraq's American occupiers last night abandoned plans to hold a national congress to select an embryonic interim government.Instead the US will appoint a council of 25 to 30 senior figures from across the religious and ethnic spectrum who will shadow the current administration in preparation for taking power.
Officials said the council would be in place within six weeks. The group will begin drafting an Iraqi constitution that will be put to the people in a referendum.
American administrators have admitted finding it difficult to co-ordinate the diverse ambitions of such a big group as the proposed 300-member congress.

I've become very comfortable with a phrase that I say pretty much every time I read of some new Bush "plan" or failure or war or whatever....
"Somehow, this doesn't surprise me at all."
