Bush: US will not waver in Iraq

US President George Bush said today that the US will not relent in its support of Iraq’s new and fragile democracy despite “acts of staggering brutality” in the country.

“I pledge we will not waver, and I appreciate your same pledge,” he told Iraqi President Jalal Talabani in a news conference in the East Room of the White House. “Iraq will take its place among the world’s democracies.”
