White House says war on terror ‘long-term struggle’

WASHINGTON: The White House Spokesman Tuesday said the war on terrorism was “a long-term ideological struggle” and that “there has been significant progress.”

He was asked to comment on the fact that world is approaching fourth anniversary of 9/11, but Osama bin Laden is not only on the loose, he is still being tied to terrorist activities extending into Spain, Egypt, Iraq and England.

Scott McClellan said: “The war on terrorism is broader than any one person.”

“But he is someone we continue to pursue, and he will brought to justice. And you have to look at the overall progress that we’ve made in the war on terrorism.”

He said: “We’ve made substantial progress to prevail in the war on terrorism.” “We are up against a group of people who have no regard for human life. They seek to spread an ideology that is based on hatred and based on fear and chaos and violence. They seek to dominate a part of the world and dominate people of a certain religious background. But they don’t represent any religion; they represent a hateful ideology that will be defeated as we work to spread freedom and democracy.” app
