Bush And The U.S. Military: An Analysis
Abid Mustafa, a United Kingdom-based writer who "specializes in Muslim affairs," has published a worth-reading analysis of U.S. President George W. Bush's Iraq policy and the tensions that have developed as U.S. military tries to implement the military aspect of that policy in the face of increasingly strong armed opposition. Writing in an article that appeared in the June 25, 2005 edition of Jihad Unspun and elsewhere, he said: Amid growing domestic and international criticism against his Iraq policy, President Bush issued a statement to dispel the impression that Iraq was faltering. On 20/6/05 he said, We're making progress toward the goal, which is, on the one hand, a political process moving forward in Iraq and, on the other hand, the Iraqis capable of defending themselves. He also gave no indication about a timetable for withdrawing US troops from Iraq, except that Iraq was preoccupying his mind. He said, I think about Iraq every day, every single day.A close study of Bush's statements regarding the political process and security situation in Iraq appears to contradict the reality in Iraq.
"Till now," Mr. Mustafa said, "the Bush administration has been unable to accomplish any of the goals it set out before the invasion of Iraq or in the aftermath of the collapse of the Iraqi government."
See "Bush And The US Military" for more of Mr. Mustafa's analysis. The article is also at Al-Jazeera.Info under the headline "Iraqi Resistance Fractures Bush's Relationship with the US Military."
