President Bush speaks about his war policy to an audience at the World Affairs Council in Philadelphia, Penn. Bush is using the visit to Philadelphia, birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, as a reminder before the Iraqi elections that the path to American democracy was not always easy either. Todays speech is Bush's third in a campaign to win support for the mission, with most Americans saying in polls that they disapprove of his handling of the war. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
AP - President Bush offered encouragement to war-weary Iraqis on Monday but acknowledged they have paid a heavy price — 30,000 dead — as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and its bloody aftermath. |
