President Bush said Thursday that a foiled plot to blow up multiple flights between Britain and 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 airport tarmac here where he was appearing at events focused on the economy. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people but obviously we're not 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.

Perhaps they took a few notes on how we defeated The Soviet Union.
Absolutely. The problem is not the specific methods used by Islamofascists, but their deranged objective of a global Caliphate where everyone either submits to Islam or dies. A "war on terrorism" makes about as much sense as a "war on blitzkriegs" would have in 1940.
Release the Killer B-52's!
I'm on the side of the men and women in uniform who defend our country, not the self-serving buffoons Washington.
Wrong, you moron! It's a BLESSING that everyone is STILL ALIVE!
The nightmare would have been if everyone WAS MURDERED...as intended!
That made my day! Earlier, Mrs. Bat was hoping that maybe Michael Moore or Madonna were traveling there today - this is just as good...
Exactly, he's just whining about his OWN inconvenience.
Typical dem.
If there are sensible muslims, let them do something about this. Unless and until that happens, I have no problem assuming that they all want me dead or subjugated to this demon "allah".
Actually I prefer to use the term "Islaminazi". Can we add that to the national vocabulary while we're at it?
He didn't, smart guy. That's why I made my post.
That's funny, because the garbage spewing from your mouth sounds like the exact opposite of what I hear from those defending our country.
"This nation is at war with Islamic fascists..."
I hope this will stick and will stop using his "war against terrorism" idiocy.
If he is so concerned about 'Islamic Fascists' why the hell doesn’t he secure our borders?
Tough words but I’m sorry to say – meaningless.
Well if we know that then I ask you again why would Bush all of a sudden identify them? After all you said I don't know what I am talking about. So please enlighten me with why he did it?
I'm not. We haven't moved far at all. Thank God!
I put our country above political parties and personalities. If the President wants to formally declare war and mobilize the country to fight and win it, I'd be one of first in line for re-activation in the Army. But if he feeds us TROP speeches and skirts the issues, I'll call him on it.
I already did. Go enlighten yourself with the resources I so kindly provided to you and others.
