White House Marks the Fourth Anniversary of the Iraq War

Over the weekend, thousands of demonstrators turned out in American cities to protest the war in Iraq. Today President Bush acknowledged this fourth anniversary with a five-minute statement at the White House. Affirming that the war can be won, he called on Congress for the "the funds and the flexibility that our troops need to accomplish their mission" without using that funding "as leverage to get special interest spending for their districts."
