Bush to invoke 9/11 and compare Iraq to WWII in new bid to rally support |

Bush plans bid to rally Iraq support
CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- President Bush will launch a new round of
speeches to rally support for the war in Iraq, advisers said Sunday,
as protesters camped outside Bush's Texas home and polls showed weaker
support for the two-year conflict.
Senior aides say Bush will attempt to portray the Iraq conflict in the
context of World War II, which U.S. forces fought from 1941 to 1945.
They said the president will invoke the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The 9/11 commission's report, issued in July 2004, found no evidence
that Iraq had a relationship with al Qaeda.
The CIA concluded in February that Iraq had become a training ground
for terrorists who wish to attack U.S. troops -- a haven critics say
did not exist before Saddam Hussein's ouster.
