Now the common thinking among the people of Iraq may be from Shia or Sunni community nobody wants to see the American army in Iraq. Last days, the Mehdi Army of Shia leader Muqtada-Al- Sadr, created a war like situation against the American army and the present government of Iraq. Hundreds of persons died in it. The Mehdi Army is of the single opinion that the American army must leave Iraq at once.
On the other hand, such situation is also in America for about last five years. Leaving aside the supporter politicians of Bush, all the impartial & liberal persons in America, have been opposing the sending of troops in Iraq. The return of the American soldiers from Iraq is an important issue in the coming presidential elections in America. There may have been about 1lac Iraqi casualties because of the American interference in Iraq the Americans are considering the death of four thousand American soldiers in Iraq as a serious matter.
This pressure of the American public has made President
Bush to accept the curtailment of the American soldiers in
Iraq. Bush has declared that due to the successes achieved
in Iraq, America will cut short the presence of the American
soldiers there up to 25%. This cut will be done by July 31,
2008. After this cut, a survey will be made to evaluate that
the conditions in Iraq allow more curtailment or not. George
Bush has also announced that in future the deployment of the
American soldiers in Iraq will be for twelve months instead
of fifteen months. One another attractive offer was made for
the American soldiers that after their one term of 12months
in Iraq, they will remain for one year only in America Now,
the world or the world leaders may visualize the Iraq scene
any way but President Bush is of the view that they have got
a great economic and political success in Iraq.
The measuring rod for this success is known to George bush
because he was the person who got the secret information of
chemical and bio-weapons being accumulated in Iraq. But the
world is seeing Osama-Bin-Laden and Aiman-Al-Jawahiri cursing
the American interests regularly. The Iraq people that boasted
of their oil wealth are facing starvation, hunger, anarchy
and bad condition. The country that was famous as a powerful
Iraq among a few Muslim nations has crumbled today. But among
all these, President Bush is happy and feeling proud on his
success that stood on the bloody destruction of the Iraqi
people.
