WASHINGTON: This image released by the White House on September 18 shows a note President Bush had written passed to his counselor Karen Hughes during a high-stakes meeting at the White House last week. It reads, "This is an enemy that runs and hides — But won't be able to hide forever... an enemy that thinks its havens are safe — But won't be safe forever." With his steady evolution of language, President Bush also is systematically bracing Americans for the sacrifices they may face. —AP/PTI
