OT: America turns on Bush over Iraq |
America turns on Bush over Iraq
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=649440
Three in five want troops out as President vows to stay
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
25 June 2005
Beset by fading public support for the war and growing violence on the
ground, President George Bush flatly rejected any timetable for troop
withdrawal from Iraq, vowing the United States would stay until the
insurgency was defeated and democracy had been established.
"This is a time of testing, a critical time," Mr Bush acknowledged
yesterday after a meeting at the White House with Ibrahim al-Jaafari,
the Iraqi Prime Minister. The insurgents "feel that if they can shake
our will and affect our public opinion, we'll give up on the mission.
But I'm not giving up the mission, we're doing the right thing". The
President was speaking amid unprecedented challenges to his whole Iraq
policy. A week of carnage in that country was capped by news that six
marines were killed on Thursday in the former rebel stronghold of
Fallujah, lifting the total American death toll in Iraq to a total of
1,730.

In America the citizens fought for and won the freedom of their own country
from the British.
There is no reason why we should not withdraw from Iraq and let the Iraq's
establish their own country and style of government.

They *have* established their own style of government. We are there to help
train their forces to withstand the terrorists who want to tear down that
new democratic regime before it can defend itself adequately.

You are there because you invaded their country, remember?

Those are not incompatible statements.
