WASHINGTON (AP) -- On his way out of office, President George W. Bush is returning to the theme that helped win him a second term: preventing another terrorist strike against the United States.
Bush on Wednesday was trumpeting his record on national security, emphasizing that terrorists have not struck again since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when homeland protection became his focus. The president was expected to promote the steps his administration has taken, such as reshaping the intelligence community and disrupting terrorists' financing, that future presidents can build upon for "the long struggle ahead," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
Bush won a tough re-election battle in 2004 largely because of his advantage among voters on the national security issue.
