WASHINGTON — President Bush will hold a press conference Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. EST, the White House announced Thursday morning. The press conference, the president's first in four months, will be held at the White House. "Now was an appropriate time to talk to the American people as directly as possible," said Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. Fleischer said that Bush will not announce any imminent or critical information about the crisis with Iraq. He will discuss the importance of disarming Iraq, but he will not say whether he has decided on military action. "This is a news conference. This is not a scheduled announcement of anything," Fleischer said. The president will open the question-and-answer with a list of successes in the war on terrorism, Fleischer said. The president may also discuss the nomination of embattled judicial nominee Miguel Estrada. Senate Democrats have complained that Estrada has not been forthcoming and say they want more answers to their questions, but a White House source told Fox News that there have been no requests from Senate Democrats for Estrada to respond to questions. The White House did not ask the networks to cut into their prime time programming to cover the press conference. Fox News Channel will carry it live. Fox News' Tony Snow and Wendell Goler contributed to this report.
