President George W. Bush, confronting a skeptical Congress and American public, sought to deflate strong opposition Tuesday to sending more troops to the war, asserting that "America must not fail in Iraq" and his plan offered the best chance of success.
Facing a major political showdown over his policy, Bush said that "the consequences of failure would be grievous and far reaching."
