WASHINGTON: US President George Bush yesterday called for fighting America's enemies "across the world" as he stepped up his counter-offensive following charges that his policies were breeding a new generation of terrorists.
The call, delivered in his weekly radio address, was aimed at countering a rash of accusations that the Bush administration had seriously mishandled the war in Iraq and created fertile ground for terrorism. The criticism was fuelled by a new National Intelligence Estimate, portions of which were declassified the past week. "The only way to protect our citizens at home is to go on the offence against the enemy across the world," the president said. "So we will remain on the offence until the terrorists are defeated and this fight is won."
A new book by veteran Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, State of Denial, alleges a number of policy blunders committed in Iraq, amid bitter feuding by the president and his closest aides and refusal to acknowledge reality.
The latest CNN poll showed 61 per cent of Americans now believed the war in Iraq was going either "very badly" or "moderately badly", compared with 38 pc who thought it was going "very well" or "moderately well".
