No quitting till Saddam, Osama caught: Bush

November 15, 2003 12:30 IST

US President George W Bush has said there will be no pulling out of American troops from Iraq until Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are found and democracy is established in the Middle East.

"In terms of security we will do whatever it takes...we will stay there until the job is done and then we will leave...and the job is for Iraq to be free and peaceful," Bush was quoted as saying on CNN.

"We will find Saddam Hussein...the goal is for a free and peaceful Iraq and by being strong and determined we will
achieve that objective," he said.
 
Bush said that one of the aim is to begin transferring power back to the Iraqi people but "even bigger [aim] is a free and democratic" society.

"Their democracy won't be Western. We don't expect them to look like America. We expect the governments to be modern, however, and that includes, well, women's rights, and including women into the future of their societies."
