Herseth Will Talk To Bush About Iraq War
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rep. Stephanie Herseth, D., will have a rare opportunity to offer her opinion to President Bush this week.
Bush invited Herseth and some other House Democrats to a White House briefing on Iraq Wednesday morning. Along with Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, are scheduled to attend.

"I am pleased that the President is reaching out to me and other members of Congress," Herseth said. "We owe it to the American people and, especially, to the troops to have an honest and bipartisan discussion about our goals and progress in Iraq."

Herseth said last month that she shares the president's view that training of Iraqi troops is paramount before U.S. troops withdraw from the war-torn country.

4. Another great quote from the article to go with the other one...
"Rep. Stephanie Herseth, D.,will have a rare opportunity to offer her opinion to President Bush" Umm ho wis this any different then meeting with Frist and Delay on Iraq war policy? I mean if she already agrees with him then what the fuck is the point of the meeting unless there is schemeing or PR involved. Neither of which would suprise me.
