BAGHDAD (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) vowed guerrillas would not stop a planned handover of power to Iraqis, while Iraq (news - web sites)'s long-repressed majority Shi'ite Muslims demanded a bigger say in their political future.

Bush said the United States had been right to go to war in Iraq and that the world was a safer place since Saddam was toppled last April.


"Had we failed to act, the dictator's weapons of mass destruction programs would continue to this day," Bush said. Although no nuclear, chemical or biological arms have been found since Saddam was ousted, he said U.S. weapons expert David Kay had identified dozens of programs.

Bush blamed attacks on U.S.-led forces on a "remnant of violent Saddam supporters....joined by foreign terrorists."
