[0:06] State of the Union. President Bush urges

[0:09] Congress to give his new Iraq policy a

[0:11] chance to work. [snorts] The man in line

[0:14] to take command in Iraq calls the

[0:16] situation there dire. And snubbed by

[0:19] Oscar. The most nominated picture of the

[0:22] year is left out of the best picture

[0:24] category.

[0:27] This is [music] the CBS Morning News for

[0:29] Wednesday, January 24th.

[0:32] [music]

[0:36] Thanks for [music] joining us. I'm Susan

[0:38] McGinness. A resolute President Bush

[0:40] delivered his State of the Union address

[0:42] asking Congress to give his new strategy

[0:45] in Iraq time to work. Democrats say it's

[1:13] >> Our country is pursuing a new strategy

[1:15] in Iraq, and I ask you to give it a

[1:17] chance to work.

[1:18] >> The president warned that pulling out of

[1:20] Iraq now would threaten America's

[1:21] security. He said the more than 20,000

[1:24] US reinforcements on the way are needed

[1:26] to help stabilize Baghdad.

[1:28] >> I chose this course of action because it

[1:30] provides the best chance for success.

[1:33] >> Turning to matters at home, the

[1:35] president talked about expanding healthc

[1:36] care coverage to millions of uninsured
