BBC: US 'arrogant and stupid' in Iraq

BBC NEWS: US 'arrogant and stupid' in Iraq: "A senior US state department official has said that the US has shown 'arrogance and stupidity' in Iraq.

Alberto Fernandez made the remarks during an interview with Arabic television station al-Jazeera.

The state department says Mr Fernandez was quoted incorrectly - but BBC Arabic language experts say Mr Fernandez did indeed use the words.

It comes after President George W Bush discussed changing tactics with top US commanders to try to combat the unrest."
