President George W. Bush mentions the treatment of Iraq soldiers: “We are treating Iraqi prisoners of war according the highest standards of law and decency. Coalition doctors are working to save the lives of the wounded, including Iraqi soldiers. One of our servicemen said this about the injured Iraqis he treated: “We can’t blame them for the mistreatment their government is doing to our soldiers. I’m all for treating them. That’s what we do. That’s our job.”
