Jon Alterman, director of the CSIS Middle East Program, was quoted by Reuters, "Analysis: Bush Understates Challenges in Iraq, Afghanistan."
U.S. President George W. Bush offered relatively upbeat assessments of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that failed to address how hard it may be for his successor to stabilize them, analysts said. . .
"What must be bittersweet for him is that he had hoped to be handing off successes to the next president, but all the things he cares about on the foreign policy front are going to be profound challenges for his successor," said Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East program at the CSIS think tank.
