Terrorists are ‘running out of people to kill,’ says Obey
If violence is decreasing in Iraq, it may be because insurgents “are running out of people to kill,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Mars) (D-Wis.) said Monday.Except for 30,000 additional American targets

“There are fewer targets of opportunity,” Obey said in a speech to the Democratic National Press Club.

Obey was responding to a question about reports touted by Republicans that security is improving in Iraq and that President Bush’s “surge” strategy is working. He stressed that military success has not led to political reconciliation.

“The issue has never been military,” Obey said. “The issue has always been political improvement.” For the Democrats

As the House’s top appropriator, Obey has his head in rectal defilade hands on the nation’s purse strings, giving him a significant say on the war in Iraq.
