Bush: Mideast Cease-Fire a ��Noble Ambition��

President offers his first on-camera remarks about Israel's weekend ground invasion into the Gaza Strip, expressing support for “Israel’s desire to protect herself.”

Says the U.S. is concerned about humanitarian crisis but believes anti-democratic forces must be fought.

“All of us would like to see violence stop but not at the expense of an agreement that does not prevent the crisis from happening again.”
