Bush to Speak
by TChris
Facing growing criticism of his administration's handling of the war in Iraq and unresolved questions about his attention to terrorism prior to 9/11, President Bush will return to the White House to give a prime time press conference tomorrow night. The conference will be held in the East Room, perhaps to underscore the gravity of the questions he is likely to address.
The East Room of the White House is usually reserved for formal events. Only two of Bush's 11 press conferences have been held there -- one on Oct. 11, 2001, in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, and another on March 6, 2003, on the eve of the Iraq invasion, the White House said.
The press conference will begin at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time.
