Thursday, in the speech to troops, Bush was emphasizing signs of progress in Iraq, what Bush calls “the central front in the war on terrorism,” and what the events mean for “the safety and security of the American people,” White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said.
He warmed up Wednesday night with a speech at a fund-raiser in Washington sponsored by the Republican National Convention.
“Since the liberation of Iraq, our investigators have found evidence of a clandestine network of biological laboratories, the advance design work on prohibited long-range missiles, elaborate campaign to hide these illegal programs,” Bush said.
