Bush remarks outline Iraq plans and security stance
President Bush warned troops could stay in Iraq beyond replacements if needed to secure the nation, while stressing the war on terror remains winnable. He rejected Vietnam comparisons, outlined a timeline for Iraqi governance, elections, and a new constitution, and noted NATO may take a bigger role. He also acknowledged gaps in homeland security after 9-11.
