So Where's the Plan?

by TChris

The Bush administration didn't have much of a plan for Iraq after driving Saddam Hussein from power. If the administration has a plan for Iraq after the country regains sovereignty on June 30, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar would like to know about it.

Less than three months before the scheduled handover of sovereignty by the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority, Lugar told ABC's "This Week" that the Bush administration had not advised Congress on its plans for Iraq once CPA administrator Paul Bremer leaves.

Lugar worries that the transfer of power as scheduled could lead to civil war -- a possibility suggested by increasing levels of violence, including these clashes on Sunday that killed seven U.S. soldiers and wounded two dozen more.
