President Bush, revising his earlier characterization of the fighting in
Iraq, said in an interview released yesterday that combat operations are
still underway in that country.
In an interview with the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service given on
Thursday and released by the White House yesterday, Bush interrupted the
questioner when asked about his announcement on May 1 of, as the journalist
put it, "the end of combat operations."
"Actually, major military operations," Bush replied. "Because we still have
combat operations going on." Bush added: "It's a different kind of combat
mission, but, nevertheless, it's combat, just ask the kids that are over
there killing and being shot at."
