Bush makes State of the Union address
WASHINGTON (AP) - President George W. Bush's State of the Union address Feb. 2 spanned problems at home and abroad, but it was the first State of the Union address since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that focused heavily on domestic issues.
Emboldened by his re-election, Bush called on lawmakers to move on several controversial fronts, including reforming the nation's costly social security program, liberalizing the nation's immigration laws, simplifying taxes and extending the life of the tax cuts enacted during his first term.
On international issues, despite Democrats' criticism, Bush offered no hint of a timetable for a troop withdrawal from Iraq, but pledged to confront regimes that promote terror and pursue weapons of mass destruction, and singled out Syria and Iran.
Returning to his inaugural address' theme of spreading democracy, Bush hailed the success of Jan. 30 elections in Iraq, and also promised to work for Mideast peace, including $350 million (¥35 billion) in aid to the Palestinians.
