Abstract
OXFORD, Miss. -- Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) said Friday that the U.S. Senate missed a key opportunity two weeks ago to begin working on a compromise regarding the war in Iraq. On the University of Mississippi campus with former Sen. Tom Daschle, (D-S.D.), Lott said the Senate should have begun working in a bipartisan fashion following the status report from U. S. Army Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the Multi-National Force in Iraq. "We missed an opportunity to come together in the last couple of weeks," Lott said. "We can't micromanage the war in Iraq, but we could have come together to begin to lay out a plan, to set some benchmarks, for withdrawal. It would be worth the effort to at least talk about it, and over time reach an agreement."
