Not only is John Kerry too busy to vote in the Senate, he's also too busy to listen to the Prime Minister of Iraq when he visits.
Allawi met President George W. Bush (news - web sites) at the White House earlier Thursday and addressed a rare joint session of the US Congress where he told lawmakers: "We are succeeding in Iraq."I guess he's got better things to do than the job we're paying him for. Fortunately he can still find time for vacations.Speaking in Columbus, Ohio, shortly after Allawi's speech, Kerry said the interim Iraqi premier was painting an unrealistically upbeat picture of the situation in his homeland.
