U.S. President George W. Bush on Saturday warned Americans of "difficult times ahead" despite recent military victories in
Afghanistan
.
"We will face difficult times ahead," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "The fight we have begun will not be quickly or easily finished." "Our enemies hide and plot in many nations. They are devious and ruthless," he told Americans who are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday.
Assuring Americans that the U.S. would win the ongoing war against terrorism, Bush said that "we will fight for as long as ittakes, and we will prevail."
Bush, who spent Thanksgiving at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, expressed his thanks to the troops and American civilians for their contribution in the war against terrorism.
"We're thankful for the character of our fellow citizens who are flying flags and donating to charity and comforting those who grieve. Americans have aided the families of victims, and the starving children of Afghanistan, half a world away," Bush said. The president urged Americans to do more to support the troops overseas and help others at home.
