WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2008 Victory in Iraq is an important priority for protecting the United States, President Bush said today in urging Congress to act quickly and fully fund war on terror operations.
Despite security improvements in Iraq, opponents of the war are still calling for the withdrawal of troops, Bush said at a White House news conference.
