[originaltext] President Bush said Thursday it is unrealistic to expect NATO

President Bush said Thursday it is unrealistic to expect NATO to send more troops to Iraq. Speaking as he prepared to leave the G8 summit, the President said, however, that NATO countries could contribute in other ways. Earlier, speaking off the coast of Georgia where the site of the summit was, Sea Island, the President has suggested a role for NATO troops in Iraq that was met with some opposition by French President Jacques Chirac. The Group of Eight summit ended with participating countries agreeing among other things to fight AIDS and to promote democratic reforms across the larger Middle East.
