Bush Urges Iraqis to Vote, Lowers Expectations
Steve Holland/Reuters Original Article

Bush said he anticipated a "grand moment in Iraqi history" when Iraqis vote this weekend.

"I urge all people to vote. I urge people to defy these terrorists," Bush said. "They (the terrorists) have no clear view of a better future. They're afraid of a free society."

"The fact that they're voting in itself is successful," Bush said.

"The notion somehow we're not making progress I just don't subscribe to. I mean, we're having elections," he said.
