Bush: Iraq War Will Be Seen As “America’s Golden Moment”

HeadlineJun 01, 2005

President Bush said Tuesday that he was “pleased with the progress” in Iraq and later agreed that the Iraq invasion will someday be seen by historians as “America’s golden moment.” Bush’s comments came during a morning news conference at the White House. But the fighting continues on the ground in Iraq. The governor of Anbar province was found dead on Tuesday — three weeks after he was kidnapped. And the month of May ended with the U.S. losing 77 soldiers — making it the deadliest month for the United States since January. To date just over sixteen hundred fifty U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq.
