Special report: Tension escalates in Iraq
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. government on Wednesday said the focus
of U.S. troops in Iraq is shifting from fighting to training the Iraqi army
despite deteriorating security situations in Iraq,
"As a matter of fact, the central mission to the United States is to train
Iraqi forces so they can do the job," White House spokesman Tony Snow told cable
TV station MSNBC in an interview.
"The key in Iraq is not for the United States to go in and subdue every bad
guy in the country. That would be failure," he said.
"That would mean that we have to occupy Iraq forever. We don't want to do
that," said Snow.
He was echoing words of Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Richard Zilmer, top U.S.
commander in western Iraq, who said Tuesday that his mission is to train Iraqi
forces despite the deteriorating situations there, and that he has enough troops
for such a mission.
These comments seemed to de-emphasize the U.S. military's operations in Iraq
and were seen as a new tactic to fend off growing international and domestic
criticism that the U.S. military has failed to control Iraq's situation since
the U.S.-led military operation against Iraq started in March 2003. Enditem
