SOUNDBITE (English) George Bush, President of the United States: "Today the Iraqi people reached an important milestone in their journey of democracy. Iraqi leaders announced an agreement on the top leadership posts for a national unity government. This agreement represents compromise and consensus among many different Iraqi groups and it came after months of patient negotiations. The agreement reflects the will of the Iraqi people who defied the terrorists by voting to choose the men and women who will lead their nation forward, and this historic achievement by determined Iraqis will make America more secure." 4. Press cutaway 5. SOUNDBITE (English) George Bush, President of the United States: "The new government must endure, that improvements in prosperity and security must occur throughout the country so that all Iraqis share in the benefits of their new democracy. These are major challenges and the new Iraqi government will not face them alone. America is helping Iraq''s young democracy move forward. Iraqis and Americans are fighting side by side against a common enemy. We are going to defeat the terrorists in Iraq." 6. Bush walks to car STORYLINE: US President George W. Bush said on Saturday the new Iraqi government "will make America more secure.'''' Bush spoke hours after Iraq''s president designated Jawad al-Maliki, the new nominee for prime minister, to form the new government after four months of squabbling among Iraq''s political factions more than four months after national elections in December. The president offered congratulations to the Iraqi people. He cast the day as a milestone in Iraq''s path to democracy and as a victory in his war on terror. He said "America is helping Iraq''s young democracy move forward. Iraqis and Americans are fighting side by side against a common enemy. We are going to defeat the terrorists in Iraq." Bush''s approval rating is at the lowest point of his presidency, and the daily tide of bad news from Iraq - beheadings and suicide bombings, attacks on U.S. soldiers - is a chief reason. Five U.S. soldiers were killed on Saturday, including four whose vehicle hit a roadside bomb during a patrol in south Baghdad, the military said. Squabbling among Iraq''s political factions more than four months after national elections in December had weakened public approval in the U.S. for the war and fed the rising sectarian violence. Shiite politicians chose al-Maliki to replace their previous nominee, interim Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a polarising figure whom the United States opposed behind the scenes. Al-Maliki has strong ties to al-Jaafari, and the support of the political group led by firebrand anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Al-Maliki has 30 days to present his Cabinet to parliament for approval.
