U.S. President George W. Bush speaks to the press on the South Lawn of
the White House in Washington, April 13, 2003. Bush expressed his
elation on the news of the recovery of seven U.S. soldiers in Iraq on
Sunday after their captors apparently fled from U.S. Marines advancing
on Saddam Hussein's crumbling northern bastion of Tikrit.
