US President George W. Bush has repeated his belief that the war in Iraq and the war on terror are one and the same and vowed not to pull US troops from Iraq until the country is stable.

In his weekly radio address, Bush noted that Iraqi leaders are finishing a constitution despite recent violence against US troops and Iraqis alike.

"Iraqis are taking control of their country, building a free nation that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself," he said. And we're helping Iraqis succeed."

"We're hunting down the terrorists and training the security forces of a free Iraq so Iraqis can defend their own country. And when that mission of defeating the terrorists in Iraq is complete, our troops will come home to a proud and grateful nation," he said.
