Since most right wing Americans believe that the U.S. administration is “always on the right track” and that “it’s not responsible” for the chaos that is happening in Iraq, Bush appeared last Friday to admit that the situation is not as good as he used to say. He acknowledged that "it's tough" there and said he would consult with American generals to see if a change in tactics is necessary to combat the escalating violence.
"It's tough on the families who've lost a loved one. It's tough for our citizens
who look at it on TV. It's hard on the Iraqis. They've lost a lot of life," Bush
said.
Bush’s remarks came as Seventy-eight American troops have died in Iraq in October, likely to become the deadliest month for U.S. forces in nearly two years and at least 907 Iraqis have been killed in war-related violence, an average of 43 a day, according to the Associated press.
At the same time, a senior U.S. State Department official offered an unusually candid assessment of the security situation in an interview Saturday with Al-Jazeera television, saying the U.S. had shown "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq. Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, also said the U.S. was ready to talk with any Iraqi group except al-Qaeda in Iraq to facilitate national reconciliation.
"We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because,
undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States
in Iraq," Fernandez said.
Now!! Where are all those who believe in their “god” Bush?! He admits he is in trouble, would you?
