McCain: U.S. Must Evaluate Iraq Mission

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sen. John McCain said Wednesday the United States should
spend "whatever it takes" to complete its mission in Iraq after a bomb
ripped through U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, killing at least 20 people
including the top U.N. envoy.

McCain, R-Ariz., is leading a seven-member delegation of U.S. lawmakers to
Iraq for meetings with soldiers, military officers and civilian
administrators. The group - on the second day of a three-day visit - had
just toured a mass grave site near Hilla, 34 miles south of Baghdad.

"After an event like this (the U.N. bombing) we have to evaluate whether we
have enough people, whether we have the right kind of people and whether we
are spending enough money, and I think it's appropriate to make that
evaluation," McCain told reporters at Baghdad International Airport.

Wearing a floppy canvas hat and mopping sweat from his brow in 120 degree
heat, McCain said he looked forward to a congressional hearing in September
that would review the "size of the United States' commitment, the expenses"
and the number of forces positioned in Iraq.

"It's going to be interesting when we sit down and see how much money is
being spent," said McCain, who supported the U.S.-led war that ousted Saddam
Hussein.

L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civil administrator in Iraq, has said he hoped that
most of the money for Iraq's reconstruction would come from its oil exports.
But the lucrative oil pipeline has been the routine target of saboteur, and
oil exports are not flowing as they should.

As a result, Bremer said he was preparing a list of projects together with
their price tags to present to an international donors conference in Spain
in October.

One delegate, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, said the United States needed to
stand firm in the face of insurgents and attackers such as those who
exploded a truck bomb outside the U.N. compound on Tuesday. Over 100 people
were injured and many were still missing Wednesday.

"I think they will go to any means to stop the process of peace and
prosperity in Iraq, which means our commitment must be even more firm and
more resolute," Hutchison said.

McCain and the other lawmakers were to visit the southern city of Basra on
Thursday before leaving for Pakistan, Afghanistan, Cyprus and Turkey, said
Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz. Before Iraq, the delegation was in Israel.
