 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Friday that Londoners shaken by a second wave of mass transit attacks in two weeks can count on the steadfast support of the United States.
"The people of Great Britain must understand how strongly America stands with them during these trying times," Bush said in Atlanta during a speech on Social Security and Medicare. His audience responded with prolonged applause and a standing ovation.
"I'm confident, like our country, the citizens of that country will not be intimidated by thugs and assassins," the president said. "They understand what we know, they understand what the citizens of this country understand, is that we will hold true to our principles of human rights and human dignity and the freedom to worship."
