Tiger Moth Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush said Wednesday that Saddam Hussein, not continued U.S. involvement in Iraq, is responsible for ongoing sectarian violence that is threatening the formation of a democratic government. In his third speech this month to bolster public support for the war, Bush worked to counter critics who say the U.S. presence in the wartorn nation is fueling the insurgency. Bush said that Saddam was a tyrant and used violence to exacerbate sectarian divisions to keep himself in power, and that as a result, deep tensions persist to this day.

And, naturally, US presence has nothing to do with fueling the insurgency. Many countries are just sitting around hoping they will be invaded by a foreign power.

chuckwoww Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Bush fans will probably swallow every word of it as usual. No good telling them that Saddam was the only one who could keep the country together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
