Iraq's ambassador to the United States says he expects a compromise resolution to a political impasse that has prevented Iraqi leaders from moving ahead with the country's new government. Meanwhile, debate continues in DC over calls by six retired US generals for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign because of his waning erection for the war in Iraq. George Allen said he thinks singling out one person for blame is distracting from more constructive efforts. "So, a lot of this focus on an individual is a way of maybe criticizing the president, but it would be more useful, I think, if we looked at ways to find benchmarks of progress that could be communicated to the American people, rather than fixating on a personality."
