Bush challenges Democrats to offer plan for Iraq
SPRINGFIELD, Missouri (Reuters) - President George W. Bush challenged Democrats on Friday to offer their plan for winning in Iraq as he swept across Republican strongholds in the U.S. heartland to try to help his party's candidates survive on Election Day.
Encouraging audience participation from thousands of Republican loyalists at a rally, Bush said Democrats should be asked, "What's your plan?" for winning in Iraq and a host of other national security issues separating the parties.
"What's your plan?" the audience yelled back.
"Truth is the Democrats can't answer that question," he said. "Harsh criticism is not a plan for victory." Democrats seeking to recapture Congress have sought to cast Tuesday's elections as a referendum on Bush's handling of the Iraq war, where another five American troops were reported killed.
