Rep. Stephanie Herseth, D-S.D., will have a rare opportunity to offer her opinion to President Bush this week.
Bush invited Herseth and other House Democrats to a White House briefing on Iraq this morning. Along with Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, are scheduled to attend.
"I am pleased that the president is reaching out to me and other members of Congress," Herseth said. "We owe it to the American people and especially to the troops to have an honest and bipartisan discussion about our goals and progress in Iraq."
Herseth said last month that she shares the president's view that training of Iraqi troops is paramount before U.S. troops withdraw from the war-torn country.
