Ex-President Bush: Iraq will be key to vote

WICHITA -- Former President George H.W. Bush said Thursday if Iraq is visibly better, and its democracy validated and stronger, then the 2006 elections will be very positive for those members of Congress who supported the war efforts.

"If control went to the other party -- and I honestly don't think it will -- then the administration will be on the defensive a lot more," Bush told members of the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce.

That will mean a more hostile Congress for President Bush, he said.

Bush told the enthusiastic crowd he was 100 percent in support of his son, President George W. Bush.

"Besides that, I don't need to comment on every hot topic that comes along," he said.
