Don't know what is Bush's notion of victory. Is it a military victory with blood spilled and the loss of Iraqi and US goodwill. If so, his priorities are messed up. Bush vows victory as US waits and worries By Jeremy Pelofsky April 11, 2004 US President George Bush pledged yesterday that the US-led coalition would defeat guerillas wreaking havoc in Iraq and defended plans to hand sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on June 30. Speaking from his Texas ranch, Mr Bush also promised support to Iraq after the initial handover of power and through the country's election, slated for the end of 2005, including armed forces to maintain peace as well as economic aid. "Our coalition's quick reaction forces are finding and engaging the enemy," Mr Bush said in his weekly radio address. "Our decisive actions will continue until these enemies of democracy are dealt with." Mr Bush's address is an attempt to counter a flurry of opinion polls which say the escalating fighting in Iraq and mounting casualties among US troops have deflated enthusiasm for the war among Americans, who are growing increasingly sceptical about the undertaking. At least three surveys released on Friday reflected growing doubts about Mr Bush's strategy in Iraq. As a Shiite rebellion in Baghdad and south of the Iraqi capital added to continuing violence in the "Sunni Triangle", 46 Americans lost their lives in Iraq last week. The total US military death toll has reached at least 646. This story was found at: smh.com.au
