| Description | President George W. Bush, marking five years since the Department of Homeland Security was created, said the United States was not safe from terrorists who were plotting another attack as he spoke.
Bush, who is battling Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives over eavesdropping legislation, has been accused over the years by critics of using scare tactics for political advantage.
In a speech before Homeland Security Department employees, Bush said it was important that Americans remember "some serious lessons on September the 11th," and that U.S. security agencies must take the words of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden "very seriously" when he says operations are in preparation.
"At this moment, somewhere in the world, a terrorist is planning an attack on us. I know that's inconvenient thought for some, but it is the truth," Bush said. |
