Sixty-One Troops Lost So Far This Month on Bush's March to "Victory"
By Bob Geiger
Created Dec 21 2006 - 1:20pm
During George W. Bush's press conference yesterday, a reporter brought up
the overwhelming opposition among the American people to continuing our
military presence in Iraq and asked ".are you still willing to follow a path
that seems to be in opposition to the will of the American people?"
Said Bush: "I am willing to follow a path that leads to victory, and that's
exactly why we're conducting the review we are. Victory in Iraq is
achievable.. it's been a tough period for the American people. They want to
see success. And our objective is to put a plan in place that achieves that
success. I'm often asked about public opinion. Of course, I want public
opinion to support the efforts. I understand that. But, Jim, I also
understand the consequences of failure. And, therefore, I'm going to work
with the Iraqis and our military and politicians from both political parties
to achieve success."
