literally no one in the world agrees with bush anymore

CAIRO, Egypt - President Bush's strategy to send thousands more troops to Iraq was met Thursday with strong skepticism across the Mideast, where many predicted that even with more soldiers, America would fail to break the cycle of violence.

Many saw the surge in troops as a desperate move that will only increase U.S. failures in Iraq — and could deepen sectarian divides in the country.

Bush "is drowning and trying to get out of the Iraqi trap, but he's submerging deeper," said Salem al-Falahat, head of Jordan's hard-line Muslim Brotherhood Movement, warning that the plan "aims to plunge the region into more destruction and bloodshed and leave Iraq with sectarian hatred for many decades to come."
