Bush weighs Iraq strategy after Pentagon talks
President Bush in a round of high level talks with Defense Department officials and top generals at the Pentagon said he would not be rushed into a new Iraq war strategy. He criticized ideas such as leaving before the job is done and said his remarks aimed to secure troops and gain bipartisan support while delaying a national address until early next year. He noted vast violence in Iraq and stressed listening to military advice and continuing funding for armored vehicles and equipment for Iraqi forces.
