Bush speaks of war on terror to U.S. Air Force Academy graduatesPosted: 01:43 PM ET
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) - President Bush told the 2008 graduating class at the U.S. Air Force Academy on Wednesday, the "only way America could lose the war on terror is if we defeat ourselves."
Speaking on a dreary day at Falcon Stadium, the president compared the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to America's earlier conflicts, particularly World War II. "Our nation is once again contending with an ideology that seeks to sow anger, hatred and despair: the ideology of Islamic extremism," he said.
