Bush Takes Part In Strategy Meeting At Pentagon

(Washington, DC) -- The troop surge in Iraq continues to take shape and needs time to work. That's the word from President Bush, who took part in a strategy meeting at the Pentagon. Bush cited ongoing progress in the training and integration of Iraqi security forces, and said they are working closely with U.S. forces in the new Baghdad security plan. The President again argued that the "consequences of failure" would be disastrous for the broader Middle East and the U.S.
