 President Bush used his weekly radio address to defend the recent administration report on mixed progress in Iraq, saying his strategy for success is built on the premise that greater security will pave the way for political reconciliation. "This report shows that conditions can change, progress can be made, and the fight in Iraq can be won." The president says 30,000 additional U.S. troops deserve the chance to show that they can help restore security and aid Iraq's government in protecting its own people. When he launched this new strategy in January, President Bush said it would be different from earlier efforts because more Iraqi troops would join the fight and the government there would stop interfering in how those troops are used. But the interim report to Congress says since January, fewer Iraqi units can operate independently of U.S. troops. It also gives the Baghdad government unsatisfactory marks for failing to prepare for local elections that could reconcile Iraq's Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish factions.

总统布什利他的每周公众广播讲话的时候，为最近在伊拉克综合局势进展的政府报告做辩解。他说，政策成功的前提，是建立在更严密的安全铺就政治和解之路。 “这份报告显示了我们可以改变目前的局势，获得进展，并在伊拉克的作战中赢得胜利。” 总统还表示了，30，000万增援美军值得我们利用这个机会，显示出他们可以帮助恢复安全和帮助伊拉克政府保护他们的人民。当他在一月份发表了这项新战略时，总统布什表示这次的行动将与早先有所不同，因为很多伊拉克军队将参加作战，而且伊拉克政府也将会停止对部队行动的干涉。但是上交国会的中间报告表示了，从一月份开始，只有少数的伊拉克人民能够离开美军独立行动的。同时报告也隐射出了。巴格政府在当地可以缓和调解什叶、逊尼以及库尔德派的矛盾的选举活动中，没有做足充分的准备，表现并不令人满意。
