| Description | President Bush sought to rally U.S. troops in Iraq ahead of Saturday’s vote on new constitution and to brace them for an expected surge in violence, saying “the enemy understands that a free Iraq would be a blow to their vision.”
The president engaged in a carefully choreographed question-and-answer session with 10 American servicemen and women and one Iraqi soldier, whom he saw on a large video screen set up in a room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House.
Before it began, a Pentagon official coached the troops, telling them the president planned to ask questions on three topics: The overall security in Iraq, how they were preparing for the vote on Saturday and how much progress had been made in the training of Iraqi troops. |
