IRAQIS LIVE IN CONDITIONS BELOW SADDAM LEVELS:
President Bush will urge the American public to endure "more testing and
patience in Iraq" when he delivers a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars
today. Twenty-eight
U.S. troops have died in the last four days.
While Bush's message will be mostly directed to U.S. troops and the American
public, the message could easily apply to Iraqis, many of whom continue to
live in conditions below those which existed before the war.
"It is obvious that the situation is much worse than it used to be," retired
army general Ahmed Abdul Aziz told Inter-Press Service. "Can you walk free
in the streets? Did you receive your food ration last month?
It is essential for most Iraqis to receive the food ration just to feed
their families." The comments echo those of former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad
Allawi, who recently complained that human rights conditions are worse than
under Saddam.

Looks like Bush just cannot finish anything he starts, much less do it
right.
