Bush Says No Troop Withdrawl From Iraq

President Bush told U.S. troops in South Korea Saturday he has no plans to pull U.S. troops from Iraq until the country has a working democracy.
Bush answered Democratic calls for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq by telling the troops at the Osan Air Base the operation would continue until we have achieved the victory our brave troops have fought for, CNN reported.
In Washington, there are some who say that the sacrifice is too great, and they urge us to set a date for withdrawal before we have completed our mission, Bush said. "Those who are in the fight know better.
So long as I am commander-in-chief, our strategy in Iraq will be driven by the sober judgment of our military commanders on the ground, he said, adding U.S. troops are making steady progress in training Iraqi forces to defend their country.
As Iraqis stand up, we will stand down, he said.
