“My biggest concern is that people say, ‘Well, we’re kind of tired of
Afghanistan and, therefore, we think we’re going to leave,’ ” Bush
said at the White House.
“That would be my biggest concern.”

Bush, Rice fret over Afghanistan fatigue
By Matthew Lee - The Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed
concern Thursday that the commitment of NATO allies in Afghanistan may
be flagging and warned against allowing the country to again become a
cauldron for extremism.
In separate news conferences, Bush and Rice made clear that the U.S.
cannot accept Afghanistan as a failed state where al-Qaida is able to
regroup and possibly use as a stage to launch future terrorist strikes
like the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
