Bush: Iraq plan on course, no buckling to insurgents
POSTED: 11:47 a.m. EST, February 14, 2007

Story Highlights
• NEW: Bush says plans to increase security in Iraq with U.S., Iraqi troops on course
• NEW: The president touts North Korea agreement to stop nuclear program
• The president's most recent formal news conference was in late December

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Iraq is fulfilling its commitment to increase troops and security in Baghdad, President Bush said Wednesday.

In his first news conference in two months, Bush said Iraqi insurgents will do all they can to "undermine the Maliki government and its Baghdad security plan."

"These are people that will kill innocent men, women and children to achieve their objective, which is to discourage the Iraqi people, to foment sectarian violence -- and to, frankly, discourage us from helping" the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki do its job, Bush said.

Bush said insurgents are also trying hard to turn American public opinion against the war.

"They're all aimed at, frankly, causing people here in America to say it's not worth it," Bush said of insurgent attacks.

1. If Bush says "Iraq plan on course" it means this is how they wanted it from the start.
All they care about is power and profiteering.
Both are well on track.

To hell with Iraq, Iraqis or Americans. The few, the greedy, the powerful, they will have their way. Bushs base.
