The New York Times is reporting President Bush has privately expressed frustration about the progress of the war in Iraq and the lack of public support for the US occupation. Citing participants in Monday’s gathering at the White House, the New York Times says “the president expressed frustration that Iraqis had not come to appreciate the sacrifices the United States had made in Iraq, and was puzzled as to how a recent anti-American rally in support of Hezbollah in Baghdad could draw such a large crowd.”
