Reply #22: Bush: "If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists."

[Poiuyt]

As part of a public relations offensive that has received extensive media coverage, President Bush declared in an August 31 speech in Salt Lake City that "e have made it clear to all nations that if you harbor terrorists, you are just as guilty as the terrorists, you are an enemy of the United States, and you will be held to account."

Bush's statement echoes claims he has repeatedly made in the years since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. On November 21, 2001, for example, Bush declared:

BUSH: We fight the terrorists and we fight all of those who give them aid. America has a message for the nations of the world: If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists. If you train or arm a terrorist, you are a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist, and you will be held accountable by the United States and our friends.
