The only thing notable about today's speech at Bolling Air Force Base was his failure to note that 2,000 U.S. troops have now been killed in the Iraq War.
"We will not rest or tire until the war on terror is won ..." Bush said.
Bush's speech came as two more U.S. troops were killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, bringing to 2,000 the number of U.S. troops killed in the country. Bush made no mention of the deaths, an oversight that drew immediate criticism from Democrats.
"Sadly, in delivering yet another speech about the war in Iraq that lacked a clear plan for victory, President Bush failed to mention the tragic milestone we mark today," Democratic Chairman Howard Dean said in a statement.
