From President Bush’s news conference on Tuesday, one can easily understand his mind; that Iraq is sliding into civil war and Americans, including many of his fellow Republicans are increasingly losing faith on his handling of the situation.
Bush made a point that US troops will be in Iraq even after he leaves office in 2009.this is what the skeptics of war then said, before the beginning of this misadventure, that it would be a torturous long-drawn one and the US would lose credibility in the meantime.
