Bush: Ideology Motivates Iraq Insurgents

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- President Bush said Friday that he did not think photos of imprisoned Saddam Hussein clad only in his underwear would incite further anti-American violence in Iraq. "I don't think a photo inspires murderers," Bush said.

The photos, published in British and American newspapers, prompted an angry U.S. military to launch an investigation; The Red Cross said the pictures may violate the Geneva Conventions.
...
The White House declined to say what decisions news organizations should make about disseminating the photos. "That's your job," he said.

With the inquiry ongoing, he also would not comment on how the pictures may affect the U.S. image abroad. But the president downplayed the importance of the photos in stirring up the Iraqi insurgency.

"I think the insurgency is inspired by their desire to stop the march of freedom," Bush said.

7. I just looked at the Fallujah pictures there - it's heart breaking.

By the way: I can't say how tired I am of seeing orange suits. Who's manufacturing them? Why orange, for Christ's sake?

10. Orange in reference to what?

You mean orange as the color for prisoners. Orange is a colour which attracts attention so maybe that's the reason.

Why those the army and police prefer darkblue, darkgreen and black? Because those are the colors which do not attract attention?
