Bush and Blair: We're charting new directions in Iraq
US President George Bush, standing beside British Prime Minister Tony Blair, today asserted that success in Iraq depends on victory over extremists across the “broader Middle East”.
“It’s a tough time and it’s a difficult moment for America and Great Britain and the task before us is daunting,” Bush said a day after a bipartisan commission said his war policies have failed and called for a change in strategy.
