BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bush administration will not pull American troops out of Iraq until victory is won, despite the growing number of Democrats urging a withdrawal, presidential adviser Karl Rove said Saturday. Abandoning Iraq now would signal to U.S. allies that America can't be trusted, Rove said. "Tyrants in the Middle East would laugh at our failed resolve," he said. "To retreat before victory would be a reckless act."

Rove was the featured speaker at a Republican fundraiser at Bowling Green State University hosted by Rep. Paul Gillmor, a Republican from northwest Ohio.

Rove, who is Bush's top political adviser, said he came to Ohio to thank volunteers and local politicians who helped Bush win the state that put him back in the White House two years ago. "You all had something to do with keeping me employed," Rove said.

Ohio will be crucial again to Republicans in the 2008 presidential election. No Republican has won the presidency without carrying the state, which gave President Bush the White House in 2004, and only two Democrats have won without it in the past 100 years. A key issue to this year's midterm elections will be campaigning against Democrats who voted against the Patriot Act, Rove said.
