Bush acknowledges Americans weary of Iraq war

Apr 4, 2007 — FORT IRWIN, California (Reuters) - President George W. Bush admitted
on Wednesday that Americans are weary of the Iraq war and defended his decision
to send more troops to Iraq before a number of soldiers about to deploy there.

Dozens of camouflage-wearing troops sat quietly at their lunch tables, some joined
by family members, as Bush spoke during a visit to this remote base in the high desert
of California, where Iraqi-American actors train soldiers to understand Iraq's cultural
differences.

"It's a tough war," Bush said in a subdued tone. "The American people are weary of
this war."

Defending his decision to add about 30,000 extra troops to Iraq, Bush said he wants
to bring stability to Baghdad and avoid a spread of the conflict into the region that
could endanger U.S. ally Israel.

A Newsweek poll released last weekend said 57 percent of Americans support the
Democrats' plan to begin withdrawing troops and 36 percent reject it.

1. That's a big DUH. Must have sucked to be him when NO ONE

in the military clapped. Maybe he gleaned something from that...

2. Even more weary of * the asshole and his companions

3. No one should be fooled by this tactic.

About 3 years ago, Bush's advisors told him he needs to get real. They told him he needs to acknowledge that EVERYTHING he's done is valueless, pointless, a real waste.

They told him, "Say, Yes, I know the Iraq war is tough"
"Yes, I realize the Treasury is drained"
"Yes, almost all Americans want this war to end"
"It's a complete failure"

BUT then he goes ahead and does whatever he wants. Don't be fooled by this.

4. He should have thought of Israel before he totally destabilized the

ME. They have always been in some danger but now they are a surrogate target for us.

5. bush is so far into the abyss

..it doesn't matter what he says.

bush sent the Soldiers to die and be maimed because of his LIES and the bushits treat our Soldiers like the enemy when they get back home.

6. wait

"It's a tough war," Bush said in a subdued tone. "The American people are weary of
this war."

but how can this be? Didn't the blood drinking baby eating Chimpanzee beat his chest and DEMAND that they bring it on and then shortly after the mission was accomplished???
