WASHINGTON, Dec 10, SPA -- President George W. Bush called on Democrats and Republicans on Saturday to work together on a new strategy for the war in Iraq after a high-level group said the administration's current approach was not working. "Now it is the responsibility of all of us in Washington, Republicans and Democrats alike, to come together and find greater consensus on the best way forward," Bush said in his weekly radio address. He seized, however, on parts of the report with which he agrees. "The Iraq Study Group's report also explicitly endorses the strategic goal we've set in Iraq: an Iraq that can 'govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself,'" Bush said. "I want to hear all advice as I make the decisions to chart a new course in Iraq," Bush said. "The future of a vital region of the world and the security of the American people depend on victory in Iraq," Bush said. "I'm confident that we can move beyond our political differences and come together to achieve that victory."--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/410017
