Suspect this thread may have some bolded highlights posted because of Facing growing doubts at home about the wisdom of attacking Iraq, President Bush on Wednesday will launch a campaign to defend the U.S. invasion and cite progress being made even as U.S. troops face almost daily attacks. The attempt to gain control of the Iraq debate comes as Bush's job approval ratings have been falling and the White House has been on the defensive over a leak investigation and failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Two senior administration officials said on Tuesday the campaign will begin with a Chicago speech by national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and continue on Wednesday in speeches by Bush in New Hampshire and Kentucky. And on Friday Vice President Dick Cheney will deliver a speech in Washington. The campaign coincides with the six-month anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein, a period marked by daily guerrilla attacks on U.S. forces and complaints from Iraqis about the slow transition to Iraqi self-rule from U.S. control. Washington in the next six weeks will send several Cabinet secretaries on high-profile visits to Iraq to highlight various progress being made, such as the new Iraqi currency coming on line in coming days. In addition, Bush will give interviews to regional news outlets next Monday and will devote his radio address to the subject every Saturday this month. "What this will be is a sustained effort to show the American people firsthand the benefits of our commitment as a country, our commitment as a coalition, and our dedication as a people who appreciate liberty and appreciate the work of our soldiers," said White House communications director Dan Bartlett. from asia.reuters.com lurqer
