WASHINGTON - Calling this weekend’s national election in Iraq “a grand moment" in Iraqi history, President Bush urged the populace Wednesday to “defy these terrorists” waging an unrelenting campaign of violence by casting their ballots.
Despite the continuing violence, Bush predicted that millions of Iraqis would “show bravery” by voting in Sunday’s election, but he conceded that some voters would be intimidated by insurgents’ threats to target voters and polling stations.
“We anticipate a lot of Iraqis will vote,” Bush said. “… I urge people to vote. I urge people to defy these terrorists.”
