Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
One could argue that Bush didn't stress this part in his public statements or that public wasn't listening, but that is different from saying Bush didn't say these things.

Then there are those who believe the problems the U.S. is currently facing in Iraq could be cured if Bush were to just internationalizethemission. This view, which was expressed by Senator Ted Kennedy on yesterday’s edition of CNN”s Inside Politics, ignores that the problems in Iraq stem from there being an occupying force in Iraq and having more countries participate will neither alter this fact nor reduce the actual and symbolic importance of the U.S. in the occupation. Of course this faulty reasoning is to be expected from the people who like U.N. interventions.
