 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush's press secretary on Wednesday backed off a comment that appeared to suggest the administration was resigned to Iraqi lawmakers taking August off based on the summer heat in Baghdad.
"I used a dumb line," Tony Snow told reporters.
"The fact is, we expect the Iraqi government to continue working at all times toward the goals of political accommodation and reconciliation. We made it clear. They know that it's important for us, and important for them, to get key pieces of legislation passed," Snow said.
