Bush: They're going to attack us again

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush Friday warned terrorists are determined to attack the United States again.

In an apparent swipe at Senate Republicans who refused to go along with his wishes, Bush told a White House news conference the legislation he has submitted to Congress clarifying Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions is essential to Americans' safety.

"We need the tools necessary to protect America," Bush said. "Time is running out."

Bush said the questioning of Khalid Sheik Mohammed produced intelligence that allowed the United States to thwart planned attacks on U.S. targets in Africa and Pakistan and also revealed information on planned attacks on U.S. buildings and efforts to acquire biological weapons.

"It's a dangerous world," Bush said.

"The enemy wants to attack us again."
