Bush: 'Tough month' in Afghanistan

President Bush said Wednesday it has been a “tough month” in Afghanistan, where more U.S. and NATO troops died during the past two months than in Iraq. He said he was weighing whether to send more troops. The president told a Rose Garden news conference that one reason for the rising deaths “is that our troops are taking the fight to a tough enemy ... of course there is going to be resistance.” It has also been a “tough month for the Taliban,” he said.
