Reaction to Bush's Iraq Speech Story aired: Thursday, January 11, 2007
In a national televised address Wednesday evening, President Bush called for more U.S. troops for Iraq, pledged more funds for reconstruction and urged the Iraqi government to arrest militants from all sects.
To help us parse the speech and sample reaction to it we speak with the following:
Demetri Sevastopulo, Pentagon and intelligence correspondent for the Financial Times; Owen Cote of the MIT Security Studies Program; Richard Perle, described as an architect of the war and now with the American Enterprise Institute; and Tina Smarro, whose son will be sent to Iraq this week and who is a member of Military Families Speak Out.
