WASHINGTON: President Bush insisted on Saturday he had a strategy for defeating the deadly insurgency in Iraq but Democrats said the war was threatening to descend into a quagmire. Bush said he had a two-track plan that involved training Iraqis to handle more of their own security, and helping the country develop a stable democracy.


"Our military strategy is clear: We will train Iraqi security forces so they can defend their freedom and protect their people, and then our troops will return home with the honor they have earned,"Bush said in his weekly radio address. "The political track of our strategy is to continue helping Iraqis build the institutions of a stable democracy,"he said.

The address came a day after Bush, during a visit to the White House by Iraqi prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, rejected calls for a timetable for pulling US troops out of Iraq.

While the death toll for US troops has climbed above 1,700, polls are showing waning American support for the conflict. Democrats have stepped up their criticism of Bush's Iraq policy and accused him of failing to level with the public.
