Sunni? Shiite? they all look the same to me!
Lott: Bush barely mentioned Iraq in meeting with Senate Republicans
From CNN’s Ted Barrett
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush barely mentioned the war in Iraq
when he met with Republican senators behind closed doors in the
Capitol Thursday morning and was not asked about the course of the
war, Sen. Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, said.
“No, none of that,” Lott told reporters after the session when asked
if the Iraq war was discussed. “You’re the only ones who obsess on
that. We don’t and the real people out in the real world don’t for
the most part.”
Lott went on to say he has difficulty understanding the motivations
behind the violence in Iraq.
“It’s hard for Americans, all of us, including me, to understand
what’s wrong with these people,” he said. “Why do they kill people of
other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israelis
and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do
Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look
the same to me.”
