Bush tries to overcome flagging support on Iraq

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will try to shore up support for the Iraq war with an address to the nation on Tuesday night, telling Americans it is essential to keep fighting to stabilize Iraq despite the prospect of more bloodshed.
Bush will deliver his stay-the-course message surrounded by troops at the military base at Fort Bragg, North Carolina -- a backdrop designed to whip up patriotic feelings as the administration tries to cast Iraq as part of the president's broader, and more popular, global war on terrorism.
With Democrats and some Republicans in Congress pressuring the administration to show results in Iraq or pull out, the White House billed the speech as a major effort by Bush to make his case at a critical moment.
