Truth and perception are two different things. Even if the majority were thankful that we were there, all the people of the US care about is that our soldiers are getting killed over there, thereby not appearing welcome.
Most folks don't care about or don't understand the fact that the people killing our soldiers are for the most part not even Iraqi.
When the President does an interview like this, the media will always focus on the aspects of it that are the most potentially damaging, just as are the lines quoted above. If he truly wants to do anything more in his Presidency other than acting as a great vote getter for Democrats, he should just stay home.
