President Bush yesterday rejected calls for a pullout from Iraq, saying that a "policy of retreat" would dishonor the U.S. troops who have fallen there. He likened them to the heroes of World War II.
Mr. Bush implored Americans "not to lose our nerve." For the first time, he publicly tallied up U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We have lost 1,864 members of our armed forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom and 223 in Operation Enduring Freedom," he told the national convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars in Salt Lake City.
"Each of these men and women left grieving families and loved ones back home," he said. "We owe them something. We will finish the task that they gave their lives for."
