- Description:
- President George W. Bush's address to the nation, entitled "Moment of Truth," expresses the dangers of the terrorists responsible for September 11th, their followers, and the Iraqi regime's support. President Bush describes the threats Iraqi officials have given U.N. weapons inspectors and says, "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." Bush believes that the Iraqi regime will not disarm until Saddam Hussein is out of power. And while Saddam remains in power, Bush reassures that, "In recent days, American authorities have expelled from the country certain individuals with ties to Iraqi intelligence services. Among other measures, I have directed additional security of our airports, and increased Coast Guard patrols of major seaports. The Department of Homeland Security is working closely with the nation's governors to increase armed security at critical facilities across America." Bush says that Saddam Hussein and his two sons must leave Iraq within the next 48 hours or face military conflict.
