CAMP LEJEUNE, North Carolina (AFP) Apr 03, 2003 US President George W. Bush said Thursday that US-led forces had their Iraqi foes in a tightening vise and that Saddam Hussein's regime would soon be finished.
"What we have begun, we will finish," he told 20,000 Marines and family members on the sun-baked parade ground at this sprawling base. "A vise is closing, and the days of a brutal regime are coming to an end."
