BUSH: 10 AL-QAIDA ATTACKS STOPPED
3 Foiled Attacks Aimed At Targets Inside U.S.

WHITE HOUSE -- President George W. Bush says the United States and its partners have disrupted at least 10 al-Qaida plots since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, including three planned for inside the U.S.
Bush delivered what the White House called a "major" speech on the war on terror and how Iraq fits into the struggle.
Bush compared the war on terrorism to the struggle against communism. He also said there can be no negotiating with terrorists.
"No act of ours invited the rage of the killers and no concession or appeasement will change or limit their plans for murder," Bush said.
The president vowed the terrorists would eventually be defeated.
"We will never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," he said.
The speech to the National Endowment for Democracy was originally planned for the Sept. 11, 2001, anniversary observances, but was postponed because of Hurricane Katrina.
It comes against a background of slumping poll support for the Iraq conflict, despite continued backing for battling terror networks.
