Bush 'grieved' that US toll in Iraq reached 4,000: White House
Agence France Presse President George W. Bush is "grieved" that the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq has reached 4,000 and assumes responsibility for the decisions he has taken, the White House said Monday.Do you mean grieved like he was in 2004 when the whole thing was a joke to him? "And he bears the responsibility for the decisions that he made and he also bears the responsibility to continue to focus on succeeding."And by succeed, he means kill off another 1,000 Americans and 30,000 Iraqis before he leaves in 2009. Vice President Dick Cheney, on a visit to Jerusalem, said earlier that the grim milestone "may have a psychological effect on the public but it's a tragedy that we live in a kind of world where that happens."Specifically, a kind of world I helped create that I don't have to live in. At least 97 percent of the US casualties occurred after Bush announced the end of "major combat" in Iraq on May 1, 2003. Trackbacks
