Bush
whacked in US elections
"It was a thumping. I thought we were going to do
fine yesterday. That shows what I know". (George W Bush, 8 November)
LYNN WALSH analyses the US mid-term elections.
They were a national referendum on Bush and the
Republicans, who controlled both houses of Congress. Local issues were
pushed aside. Clearly, the disastrous war in Iraq was the decisive
issue, with six out of ten opposing the war. About four out of ten
voters said (in exit polls) their vote was a vote against Bush.

elections. What does this now mean for the future of Iraq? PETER TAAFFE
examines the present situation and the war in Iraq.
