Bush stated clearly the following before the war: Bush: Expect U.S. casualties in war on terror Calls on Iraq to allow renewed weapons inspections November 27, 2001 Posted: 12:33 AM EST (0533 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has entered a "dangerous period" in the war against terrorism, and Americans should expect some U.S. combat deaths, President Bush said Monday. Other countries harboring terrorists could also face U.S. action, said Bush, who called on Iraq to allow independent weapons inspections. "This is a dangerous period of time," Bush said during a Rose Garden appearance with two freed U.S. aid workers who had been held for months by the Taliban. "This is a period of time in which we're now hunting down the people responsible for bombing America." The battle against terrorism would be a "long, long struggle," and Americans "must be prepared for the loss of life," said Bush, speaking after hundreds of U.S. Marines had set up a base just south of Kandahar. "Obviously, no president or commander-in-chief hopes anybody loses life in the theater (of war), but it's going to happen," he said. "I believe the American people understand that we have got a mighty struggle on our hands and that there will be sacrifice." This is a public quote which all should remember.
