President Bush attempted to divert attention away from the Iraq War in Nashville today, where he held a town hall meeting on the federal budget. But the conversation inevitably turned to Iraq.
After 20 minutes of speaking about the federal budget, cutting taxes, and healthcare priorities, the President took random questions from the audience for about an hour. It was then that the conversation turned to the war. He told the audience it would be a long and difficult fight, but remained firm that troops belong in Iraq.
“I would like to remind fellow citizens that we have had this sense of difficulty in parts of the world before, where liberty has been transformative.”
The President also toured the Nashville Bun Company, a small business that supplies major food companies like McDonalds and Pepperidge farm.
