watch speech excerpt1 on terrorism
President Bush said the United States remains2 a nation at war against terrorists during Tuesday's annual State of the Union speech.
Mr. Bush told Congress that terrorists aim to overthrow3 moderate governments and establish safe havens4 from which to plan and carry out more deadly attacks against America. He said their ultimate goal is to force the U.S. "to retreat from the world and abandon the cause of liberty."
The president said the al Qaida terrorist group is made up of Sunni extremists possessed5 by hatred6. But he also pointed7 to a growing danger from Shi'ite extremists, accusing groups like Hezbollah of taking direction from Iran.
Mr. Bush proposed establishing a special advisory8 council on the war on terror, made up of both Democratic and Republican congressional leaders.
