Bush says U.S. still at risk of attack

GREEN BAY, Wis. - President Bush said Thursday that a foiled plot to blow up multiple flights from Britain to the United States shows "this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."

"This country is safer than it was prior to 9-11," Bush said from the tarmac at Austin Straubel International Airport. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people. But obviously we still aren't completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America." The president laid the blame for the would-be attack squarely on al-Qaida-type terrorism.

"This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation," he said, his remarks carried live on television.

Bush read from remarks he had written himself on sheets of white paper. He spoke for just two minutes and took no questions. His brief message, aside from focusing on the "stark reminder" of the U.S.-led global war on terror, mostly appeared to be a promise that his administration was working to keep citizens safe. "The American people need to know we live in a dangerous world, but our government will do everything we can to protect our people from those dangers," the president said.

2. "..written himself on sheets of white paper.."
A miracle he can even write enough stuff to carry thru two minutes of speak time but under normal president times it would never been even a footnote to mention that the PRESIDENT wrote it HIMSELF(most seemed to be more then capable of writing a ten page term paper without hesitation). But what was the big deal about WHITE paper. Does that make a difference in the scope of a world at war?????
