Bush resolves to stay on the offensive in Iraq in 2006

[Barrett808]

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush has resolved to remain "on the offense" in the new year to install a stable and independent democracy in Iraq.

"The United States has a vital interest in the success of a free Iraq, so in the year ahead, we will continue to pursue the comprehensive strategy for victory," Bush said Saturday in his last weekly radio address of the year, from his Texas ranch.

"Our coalition is staying on the offense, finding and clearing the enemy out of Iraqi cities, towns and villages, transferring more control to Iraqi units, and building up the Iraqi security forces so they can increasingly lead the fight to secure their country," Bush said.

Speaking of Iraq's political and economic reconstruction and elections there and in Afghanistan, Bush stressed: "These are amazing achievements in the history of liberty."

He did not address the issue of reducing US troop levels, nor did he discuss his strategy for Iraq, which has increasingly come under fire.

1. In stall a stable government??

Silly me I thought they elected a government last week. Guess it was harder to put in mr. puppet chalabi than they expected. Some one was actually counting the ballots correctly. Well we will have to change that. How dare they vote for people we don't like??? We must put in an unstable person like bush in charge.
