TEHRAN Texas Governor George W. Bush won the most controversial presidential elections in the United States history on Wednesday as his political rival and current Vice President Al Gore accepted the defeat in the election race.
The defeat not only seems to be for Gore but, for the entire American nation.
As it was aired by television programs, Bush who is going to be the president of the world's most powerful state, is the same person who did not know the name of the Pakistani military leader or the Indian prime minister when he was asked by a reporter.
The interview was broadcast by the BBC.
In anther televised interview, Bush accepted that he was caught red-handed when he accepted that he had driven a car while he was drunk.
The Americans should accept such a victory as a defeat for their destiny. According to Dick Cheney, Bush's vice president nominee, Bush started crafting its cabinet on Friday.
Bush has just 37 days to fill 6,000 jobs, lay out his legislative wish list and the 2002 federal budget.
The president-elect will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday to meet with President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, his democratic rival for the White House, to discuss the hand-over of power after the most protracted and divisive election in modern U.S. history.
