Bush Is Optimistic About Iraq

Story reported in Chinese People's Daily:

"We can expect the coming days will be intense. Iraq remains a serious situation, but I'm optimistic," Bush said.

Bush made the remarks after the bombing of the Golden Mosque, a Shiite shrine in northern Iraq and following religious clashes left more than 100 people killed.

It would be very good if Bush shared his thinking that leads him to be "optimistic."
