Bush: Don't judge Iraq by the violence.
"We're making good progress."

Bush Vows New Looks at Iraq Military Needs

By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

<snip>

Bush also said Americans should not judge what's happening in Iraq solely
on the basis of the unrelenting violence. "It is a difficult task to stop
suicide bombers," Bush said at a news conference.

Bush said that "we're making good progress" with the establishment of Iraq's
new unity government, even though some of its most important ministries have
not been filled.


Iraq is suffering scores of killings every day.
That progress appears to be in reverse.

10. Suicide bombers are just a small portion of the violence.
It's the newly-created sectarian violence that has killed most of the 2,500 civilians in the last two months and caused nearly 100,000 people to be refugees in their own country.

13. Did they ask us if WE wanted to go to war? No.
Bush can lie all he wants to, it might be good that he doesn't care about what people will think of his administration, he will be remembered as the Failure President.
