Iraqi's Prime Minister calls US troops "butchers"

"This war is an absolute disaster. Things have gotten so bad that the leader of Iraq is now calling us "butchers." That kind of rhetoric will only help fuel the insurgency, and will help fuel the Iraqi people's anger, and mistrust, of American troops, which will make their job even harder. The message the Iraqi Prime Minister is sending is that the US military is out of control, and out of HIS control. It's a very small step between that kind of implication and his calling us outright occupiers.

“We know there was a corrupt regime in Saddam, but a regime should be removed by surgery, not by butchering. The U.S. occupation is butcher’s work under the slogan of democracy and human rights and justice.”George Bush has failed. The war in Iraq is over. Bush lost. Prolonging our presence there will only lead to more death, and more hatred, on all sides. Yes, an American withdrawal will be a disaster. But an American commitment to stay in Iraq will also be a disaster. . "
