State of the Union Defends Iraq Policy and Health Plan
President Bush uses the State of the Union to defend his Iraq surge while signaling conciliation on domestic issues. The speech follows a 21,500 troop increase and faces a hostile Congress as Democrats push a nonbinding Iraq resolution. He also proposes a tax deduction for health insurance to aid the uninsured and offset rising medical costs.
