President Bush warned on Monday that Democrats might cut off funding for Iraq if they win control of Congress in November, which he said would “embolden terrorists” and endanger America.

“There are a lot of good, decent people saying: Get out now; vote for me; I will do everything I can to — I guess, cut off money is what they’re trying to do to get our troops out,” Bush said at a news conference. “It’s a big mistake. It would be wrong, in my judgment, for us to leave before the mission is complete in Iraq.”
