Bush Call Iraq Exit Catastrophic
May 22, 2008
President George W. Bush warned Thursday that a premature US military withdrawal from Iraq would be “catastrophic for our country”, strengthen Al-Qaeda and embolden Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Bush said security had improved enough in Iraq to justify an ongoing drawdown that would see troop levels reduced by 25 percent from last year, but he gave no indication whether he supported even further troop reductions as General David Petraeus has indicated could take place.
