George W. Bush quotes Iraqi bloggers

    The President of the United States quoted two Iraqi bloggers, thus deciding to promote his policy of building up troops in Iraq.

    The bombing in Iraq continues to take their toll, but Bush insists that US and Iraqi forces are gradually changing the situation in the country.

    “Refugee families are returning home, markets are showing increasing activity, shops that have been closed for a long time, now start working again,” Bush quoted two Iraqi bloggers as saying.

    In his speech, George W. Bush did not mention the names of the bloggers, but later in the White House reported that the president quoted an article by Omar and Mohammed Fadhil in the March 5 Wall Street Journal.

    They work as dentists and collaborate on an English-language blog.IraqTheModel.com . But in fairness it is worth noting that both Omar and Mohammed met with Bush in the Oval Office in December 2004.
