President George W. Bush launched a counter-offensive against
growing public discontent over Iraq on Saturday, when he defended the
war as a way of protecting Americans from another September 11 attack,
a message he will reinforce when he takes to the road next week.

"Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy," Bush
said in his weekly radio address.
