Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called President Bush “dangerously incompetent” and said the administration ought to be doing more to prevent increasing sectarian violence in Iraq.
Reid told the Associated Press in Las Vegas that the United States was “failing three different ways in Iraq.”
Military efforts have lagged, the economy is crippled by decreased oil production and frequent power outages, and attempts to form a national unity government are behind schedule, he said.
The White House did not return calls seeking comment.
