Bush Pleads for Another Chance

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-01-10-bush-iraq_x.htm

Reading this article that I found in the USAToday, the author mainly shows Bush's view of this situtation, you can see that the editors is trying to gain the support from the non-supporters of President Bush's Iraq Policy. The author quotes Bush saying "The situation in Iraq is unacceptable to the American people, and it is unacceptable to me," Bush said. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me." The reason the author shows this is because the author is trying to get the people to give another chance to fix his mistake. The author also says "Bush described the consequences of failure for Iraq and the United States: radical Islamic extremists growing in strength in the Middle East, and terror rising throughout the world." By stating this in the article, this poses a threat to the people. A threat brought up by bush.

This is a great article kenneth with so many negative articles on Bush's policy its hard to find a positive one.This author could influence people to follow bush's policy.

I actually found this article to be quite unbiased. Even in the title of the article, the author uses quotations before and after the word mistake so as not to give themselves a clear side on the situation.
