the american people need reassuring that the US presence in iraq is worth the cost in lives and money. and his arguments take on added urgency - if the mideast peace process collapses as a result of the resignation of palestinian prime minister abbas. o/c close: with those concerns in mind, pres bush will make the case that progress is being made in iraq. but he'll reach out to the united nations and again concede america needs the help of additional foreign troops. and more than anything else - he'll renew american resolve to finish the job. mk, cbsn, the wht hs))
