U.S. President George W. Bush speaks during a press conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House July 12, 2007, in Washington D.C. Bush said Thursday that he believed that the United States can win the war in Iraq, as a White House report painted a bleak picture of progress there. "I believe we can succeed in Iraq, and I know we must," Bush said defending his unpopular strategy in the face of stiff political opposition from the U.S. public and mounting criticism from lawmakers.
