Description | (CNN) -- The United States will settle for "nothing less than victory" in Iraq, President Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address.
Speaking amid a swirl of lagging support for the war and declining approval ratings for his leadership, Bush defended U.S. operations in Iraq and showed no intention of pulling out of the region.
"We went to war because we were attacked, and we are at war today because there are still people out there who want to harm our country and hurt our citizens," he said.
Recent polls have given Bush some of the lowest approval ratings of his tenure, with figures hovering in the low-to-mid 40s.
