Iraqis wonder what price they'll pay in Katrina's wake

........President Bush said Thursday that he is committed to both Iraq and rebuilding storm-damaged parts of the USA: "What's a priority for me is to win this war on terror and secure the country and to help the people down there (on the Gulf Coast)."........


Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) of Delaware, ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said Thursday that both parties will have to make painful decisions about their top spending priorities. "People are going to have to make choices," he said. "How it all plays out I'm not smart enough to know, but I'm worried."

Amina Juma'a, a 35-year-old Baghdad homemaker and mother of four, says she watched Bush touring the areas damaged by Hurricane Katrina and was stunned by the "clean and beautiful areas" where evacuees were resettled.

"Why can't he do that in Iraq?" she asks.
