Bush: Zarqawi's Death Could "Turn The Tide" In Iraq War...


President George W. Bush said on Thursday the killing of al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, offers a chance to "turn the tide" in the war but he urged patience and predicted more violence to come.

Zarqawi's killing gave the president a desperately needed success in Iraq, the most significant since Saddam Hussein's capture in December 2003, as he tries to regain American confidence in his handling of the war.
