Bush calls for ‘final defeat’ of terrorism

”Today, our nations are challenged once again,” Bush said. ”We’re threatened by ruthless enemies unlike others we have faced. Terrorist groups hide in many countries. They emerge to kill the innocent. They seek weapons to kill on a massive scale.”

”We must fight terrorism on many fronts,” he added. ”We must stay on the offensive until the terrorist threat is fully and finally defeated. To win the war on terror, we must hunt a scattered and resourceful enemy in dark corners around the world.”
