Bush Aims to Push Past Hurdles in Iraq

<snip>

"2006 will be a time of more testing and sacrifice," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "The terrorists and Saddam loyalists want to continue to try to derail the transition to democracy."

Still, the president planned to highlight progress in fashioning a democracy in Iraq, rebuilding the economy and training Iraqi forces to take over responsibility for the country's security from American military personnel.

"He will talk about how in each of these areas we have learned from experience," McClellan said. "We're fixing what's not working and we're adapting as necessary to complete the mission."

Bush was to press the number of foreign governments who have not yet followed through on their financial pledges to Iraq's reconstruction to do so quickly, McClellan said.

The president also will take on Democratic opponents of his approach in Iraq.

"There's a difference between loyal opposition that has a different view, and those who are advocating a defeatist approach that sends the wrong message to our troops and the enemy," McClellan said.

1. When I think of gwb and bushco

2. The testing will be on Bush's part
He'll test to see how far he can go to become a total dictator. And we'll be the ones to make the sacrifice-of our Constitutional rights.
