President George W. Bush speaks about Iraq and the war on terror at The Banqueting House in London Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2003. 'We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq and pay a bitter cost of casualties, and liberate 25 million people, only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins,' said the President. 'We will help the Iraqi people establish a peaceful and democratic country in the heart of the Middle East. And by doing so, we will defend our people from danger.'

'On September the 11th, 2001, terrorists left their mark of murder on my country, and took the lives of 67 British citizens,' said the President. 'With the passing of months and years, it is the natural human desire to resume a quiet life and to put that day behind us, as if waking from a dark dream. The hope that danger has passed is comforting, is understanding, and it is false.' White House photo by Eric Draper
