President Bush, facing increasing opposition to the war in Iraq, went on the offensive today, releasing a detailed strategy plan and then delivering a major speech in an attempt to show the country that the administration has a clear strategy for victory in Iraq.

In a 45-minute speech at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, an emotional Bush again rejected a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, saying conditions on the ground rather than "artificial timetables set by politicians in Washington" would dictate when American forces could return home.
