"Bush Paints Rosy Picture of Iraq Situation"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush painted a rosy picture of the situation in Iraq, claiming significant progress Saturday in the U.S. military's battle in an insurgent stronghold.

In his weekly radio address, Bush praised the assault on Fallujah, west of Baghdad. About 80 percent of the city was said to be under U.S. control, with insurgents pushed into a narrow corner. But the battle has claimed at least 24 American lives and wounded about 170 U.S. troops, and violence has now spread to other Sunni Muslim areas of Iraq.

The death toll includes two Marines killed by a homemade bomb Saturday southeast of Fallujah.

The American forces launched a major attack against insurgent holdouts in southern Fallujah, hoping to finish off resistance in the city. An Iraqi official estimated that about 1,000 insurgents had been killed so far in the weeklong offensive.

5. International support "continues to grow?" Support for what?!?

He said "support continues to grow" internationally for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, even though the multinational force will see some reductions in the coming months. :wtf:

of the BIG LIE! Tell it often enough and people will start to believe.
This is where the 'liberal' media is letting us down. How can things be rosy unless that refers to the color of blood..........?
