President Bush Urges Fortitude on Iraq

President Bush used a speech in Morgantown, W.V., to rally support for U.S. efforts in Iraq. In the speech, the president said the U.S. presence there must continue, despite an increase in suicide attacks and roadside bombings.

In his remarks, the president defended his policies in the war and likened the difficulties there to the struggles of the Revolutionary War in the years after the Declaration of Independence.

You're most likely to find NPR's Don Gonyea on the road, in some battleground state looking for voters to sit with him at the local lunch spot, the VFW or union hall, at a campaign rally, or at their kitchen tables to tell him what's on their minds. Through countless such conversations over the course of the year, he gets a ground-level view of American elections. Gonyea is NPR's National Political Correspondent, a position he has held since 2010. His reports can be heard on all NPR News programs and at NPR.org. To hear his sound-rich stories is akin to riding in the passenger seat of his rental car, traveling through Iowa or South Carolina or Michigan or wherever, right along with him.
