European Leaders Welcome Report on Iraq

And some how the staff of The Thunder Run is not suprised that: European leaders welcome report on Iraq

European leaders, who have been sharply critical of the Bush administration's occupation of Iraq, welcomed the U.S. advisory group's report on Iraq as a "necessary course correction" and a first step in a more realistic American view of the conflict. The report's proposal to engage Iran and Syria found approval -- although talk of beginning a U.S. withdrawal made some officials wary that Washington may press European governments for help they are reluctant to give.
