A time bomb of civil war is ticking

BY EDWARD M. KENNEDY

Three years ago we began the war in Iraq, and it's clearer than ever it's a war we never should have fought.

Our men and women in uniform have served admirably under enormously difficult circumstances. We salute each and every one of them. We mourn the more than 2,300 Americans who have been killed in action, and our hearts go out to the more than 17,000 who have been wounded.

Snip...

President Bush continues to see Iraq through the same rose-colored glasses that he has always used. He assures the American people that we are winning, even though even his policies have been dangerously incompetent and Iraq's future and the lives of our troops hang so perilously on the precipice of a new disaster.

Snip...

Three years into the war, it's scandalous that electricity and oil production are still below pre-war levels.

The patience of the American people is wearing thin. It will soon be three years since ''Mission Accomplished,'' and it's hard to see progress. That clearly must change.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy is the senior Democratic senator from Massachusetts.
