Cities Pass Resolutions Calling for War's End

From the NewStandard:

Chicago’s city leaders Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on the "United States government to immediately commence an orderly and rapid withdrawal of United States military personnel from Iraq." In doing so, the city joined hundreds of others cities, including Washington, DC and San Francisco in opposing the war.

Is Bush's focus on Katrina (happily followed by the media) a thinly veiled attempt to distract from Iraq? Should Britney Spears have her tubes tied?

The latest NBC/Wall St. Journal poll gives bad numbers for Bush for both his handling of Katrina as well as the question of whether the country is "headed in the right direction." Fifty-three percent said "no" to the latter.

It wouldn't be the first time the Bush team has made an effort to conceal its actions by distracting the public.
