Bush to hold 11 a.m. news conference

WASHINGTON, May 24 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will
hold a Rose Garden news conference on Thursday to make his
case for Iraq war funding legislation and an overhaul of U.S.
immigration policy, the White House said.

Spokeswoman Dana Perino said the news conference would take
place at 11 a.m. EDT/(1500 GMT).

In a victory for Bush, the U.S. Congress was expected to approve
money later in the day that Bush sought to continue the war in
Iraq, marking a failure by Democrats to impose a timetable for
withdrawing troops from an increasingly expensive and unpopular
conflict.

Prospects for immigration changes are more clouded. Lawmakers
from both sides of the political spectrum are assailing compromise
bill that would beef up border security while creating a guest-
worker program for illegal immigrants.

7. When is his news conference announcing war with Iran?

Or the official self-inauguration of the 'Dictatership', authorised by his recent National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive?

5. I'll try to watch. I keep thinking that it will be a question at a news

conference that causes him to lose it and just go nuts on live television. I live for that.
