Independence Day In Iraq For US Troops

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - President George W. Bush sought on Wednesday to rally support for the war in Iraq, appealing to Americans on Independence Day for "more patience, more courage and more sacrifice".

In Iraq, a U.S. soldier on board a military helicopter was killed when the aircraft was forced down in Ninewah province in the north of the country, the military said.

In a Fourth of July holiday speech at a West Virginia Air National Guard base, Bush said "we all long for the day" when there are fewer U.S. troops in Iraq but insisted that more time was needed for his Iraq strategy to work.

"Victory in this struggle will require more patience, more courage and more sacrifice," Bush said.

With approval ratings at the lows of his presidency, Bush is under increasing pressure for positive results from a U.S. troop build-up in Iraq as he seeks to prevent further defections by fellow Republicans sceptical of his handling of the war.

Another solution to Middle East problems: start killing or otherwise removing all the monarchs. Monarchy is sh;t, it doesn't work, these royal bastards do nothing but siphon the blood of their peasant subjects and then play the blame game, making specters of the Jews and the West to hide their own crimes. Death to all monarchs, except Monarch butterflies!
