“Y’all be scared now, ya hear?”
President Bush yesterday shared previously classified information — that Osama bin Laden has asked al Qaeda operatives in Iraq to plan attacks on American soil — as evidence that U.S. troops in Iraq are defending U.S. national security.
    ”However difficult the fight in Iraq has become, we must win it,” Mr. Bush said during a commencement speech at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. “Al Qaeda is public enemy No. 1 for Iraq’s young democracy. Al Qaeda is public enemy No. 1 for America as well.”
    ”9/11 taught us that to protect the American people, we must fight the terrorists where they live, so that we don’t have to fight them where we live,” Mr. Bush said.
