WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said a new report on Iraqi Security Forces shows the Bush administration's Iraq policy is failing.

"If anyone still needs evidence that the Bush policy in Iraq isn’t working, this new report from our nation’s military experts is a clear-eyed assessment of its failure," Kerry said. "We are spending endless amounts of money on an army that is unwilling or unable to stand up for Iraq, while the president sends more Americans into the middle of a civil war we can not end."

Kerry said he will continue to push for a plan for Iraq that sets a clear deadline for redeploying the troops and redefines the U.S. mission.
