Bush foresees victory as Iraq clash grows near Najaf
President Bush predicts victory after a war update at the Pentagon while Iraqi state media calls for faith and jihad. Early fighting near An Najaf could mark the war’s largest ground clash and the first contact between advancing American infantry and Iraqi units guarding Saddam’s power center. A senior official reports U.S. troops hunkered down against a sandstorm as Iraqi forces fired RPGs, damaging some 7th Cavalry equipment. Units advance toward Baghdad with Muslim clerics involved in the broader situation.
