FORT HOOD, Texas - President Bush (news - web sites) on Sunday braced the country for the possibility of more American casualties in Iraq (news - web sites) while saying the U.S.-led mission is just. "What we're doing in Iraq is right," Bush said after attending an Easter service at a chapel on this sprawling base.

"Today, on bended knee, I thank the good Lord" for protecting U.S. troops, Bush said before heading to a military hospital to meet with wounded soldiers who have returned recently from Iraq.

In fighting across Iraq over the past week, almost 50 American soldiers and more than 550 Iraqis have been killed. At least 649 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.

Bush said it was "hard to tell" whether Americans should expect to see more of the kind of deadly weeks that the military just sustained. But, he said, "We're plenty tough."

Fort Hood is the largest active duty armored post in the military, covering 339 square miles.
