WASHINGTON — President Bush urged Americans last night to steel themselves for a prolonged, unconventional, largely covert war against an elusive network of enemies, and he issued a challenge to every foreign government. “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,” said Bush, addressing a united Congress and a stricken nation. He described a global war against President’s terrorism, issuing an ultimatum to words the Taliban leadership in Afghanistan to immediately hand over Osama bin The full text Laden and vowing that “from this day of Bush’s forward, any nation that continues to speech, A 3 harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.” For the first time, he listed the specific demands that the United States is making of the Taliban, who have provided bin Laden his base of operations and formed a close alliance with his group, al Qaeda. Defining them as “demands,” Bush called on the Taliban to: • “Deliver to United States authorities all the leaders of al Qaeda who hide in your land.” • “Release all foreign nationals — including American citizens — you have unjustly imprisoned.” Two Americans are among eight foreign-aid workers imprisPLEASE SEE

Bush ON A 2
How president’s speech played in Seattle area

CROSSING AMERICA
SEATTLE TIMES STAFF
For a little more than a half-hour last night, President Bush told the world how the United States plans to respond to last week’s terrorist attacks. Millions watched or listened, some cheering Bush on, others listening for words to quell their anxiety. Whether they were still working, driving or at home eating dinner, people in the Seattle area tuned in. Here are some of their reactions: Miriam Howard, 30, a free-lance video editor and manager of an espresso bar, didn’t vote for Bush for president and hasn’t thought of him as up to the job. But after listening to his speech on radio, she declared his remarks “very strong, very confident and very unified in tone.” Devoid of partisanship and sophisticated in its world view, the speech, Howard said, “spoke to me just being an American.” PLEASE SEE
