Washington, Oct 16: Citing the terrorist attack on a US target in Gaza which claimed four American lives, US President George W Bush has said that inspite of the progress made in the fight against terrorism, the world is not yet out of danger of the scourge.
"Our country now is approaching a choice. After all the action we have taken, after all the progress we have made against terror, there is a temptation to think the danger has passed. The danger hadn't passed," Bush said in a speech in California yesterday.
"Since September 11, 2001, the terrorists have taken lives in Casablanca, Mombasa, Jerusalem, Amman, Riyadh, Baghdad, Karachi, New Delhi, Bali, Jakarta," the President said. Pointing at yesterday's bomb blast in Gaza Strip, which ripped apart a convoy killing four US citizens, Bush said, "They continue to plan against our country and our people. America must not forget the lessons of September 11."
He said, "We're fighting on many fronts and Iraq is now the central front. Saddam holdouts and foreign terrorists are desperately trying to undermine Iraq's progress." "We're making good progress in Iraq," said Bush. "We're after the killers. We've got better intelligence now. The Iraqi citizens are coming forward to help us secure their own country.
Bush pledged that the US will do the job the right way. It will make sure that Iraq has got a constitution and free elections. "It will make sure the job gets done the right way," he said. Bureau Report
