Bush: Afghanistan must not fall to terrorists

US President George W. Bush said Friday that Europe and United States must hold firm in Afghanistan

and never let it be a base for terrorists again. In a speech billed by the White House as the centerpiece

of his European trip, Bush urged allies to stand by the Afghanistan, where the conflict and redevelopment effort is often overshadowed by the war in Iraq.

One of Bush's main priorities in Europe is asking his hosts to make greater contributions to Afghanistan, both in money and troops. (AP)
