America not yet safe from terrorism, says White House
05/09/2006 - 13:06:52The Bush administration proclaimed progress in undermining global terrorism today, but said the enemy has adjusted to US defences and that “America is safer but we are not yet safe”.
Releasing an updated counterterrorism strategy from Washington in advance of a speech that President George Bush is set to give later today, the White House said: “The United States and our partners continue to pursue a significantly degraded but still dangerous al-Qaida network.”
“Yet the enemy we face today in the war on terror is not the same enemy we faced on September 11.
“Our effective counter-terrorist efforts in part have forced the terrorists to evolve and modify their ways of doing business.”
