US President George W. Bush, joined at right by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, talks to reporters after meeting with his defense and foreign policy teams at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2005. Bush said that it would be a mistake to withdraw US forces out of Iraq just because of the casualties there. The death toll of US troops has exceeded 1,820 since US invasion of Iraq.
