Stay the Course on Terror War
坚持反恐战争的道路
President Bush urged US allies Tuesday to remain committed to the reconstruction of Iraq, vowing that terrorist attacks like last week’s bombings in Spain "will never shake the will of the United States. "
"It’s essential that we remain side-by-side with the Iraqi people as they begin the process of serf-government," Bush said in a White House appearance with Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende.
Bush’s comments come one year after the US-led invasion of Iraq and at a time when his handling of the war on terror is being questioned by many Democrats, particularly Sen. John Kerry, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.
"They’ll kill innocent people to try to shake our will," Bush said of terrorists. "That’s what they want to do. They’ll never shake the will of the United States. We understand the stakes. "
The administration has cast the toppling of the regime of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein as part of the broader war on terror. Bush has generally enjoyed high marks from the American public for his leadership on national security following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
But Democrats have grown increasingly vocal in their criticism of Bush’s approach to the war on terror, saying he has alienated allies abroad and failed to match his often tough rhetoric with support for first responders, such as firefighters, at home and equipment for soldiers in the fielD.
Typical was a comment Monday from Kerry, when he addressed one firefighters’ union that has endorsed his bid for the presidency.
"I do not fault George Bush for doing too much in the war on terror," Kerry saiD."I believe he’s done too little. "
The administration has refuted the charges. Administration figures point out that about three dozen nations have contributed in some fashion to the reconstruction of Iraq. And Bush-Cheney campaign officials say it’s Kerry—not Bush—who has failed to provide support for homeland security through various Senate votes. Kerry said the Republican campaign is taking a selective and misleading review of his votes.
"I’m not going to worry about them misleading because we’re going to keep pounding away at the truth over the next few months," Kerry said at a campaign event in West Virginia on Tuesday, talking about the administration’s record on several fronts.
But the challenge for Bush on the terror war is not just coming from the US campaign trail.
In the aftermath of last week’s bombings of commuter trains in Madrid, Spanish voters ousted the Popular Party of Bush ally Jose Maria Aznar in favor of the Socialists, who opposed the US- led invasion of Iraq last March. Socialist leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Monday he wants to pull Spanish troops out of Iraq unless the United Nations takes on greater role there.
Asked how he would respond to Dutch citizens who have called for Balkenende to withdraw that country’s troops, Bush said, "I would ask them to think about the Iraqi citizens who don’t want people to withdraw because they want to be free. "
About 1,100 Dutch troops are stationed in southern Iraq, part of the coalition that has occupied the country since the US-led invasion last March. Balkenende said his government has yet to discuss whether Dutch troops would remain in Iraq beyond the end of June, when the United States plans to hand over power to a new Iraqi government.
Bush said the al Qaeda terrorist network—a leading suspect in the Madrid bombings, which killed 201 people—hopes to stop the spread of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.
"A1 Qaeda wants us out of Iraq because al Qaeda wants to use Iraq as an example of defeating freedom and democracy," he said.
