Bush says attack on homeland still major threat

President George W. Bush said Monday the "most urgent threat" that Barack Obama will face is the potential for an "attack on our homeland."

At a farewell news conference, Bush said the president-elect will be facing an enemy that "would like to inflict damage" on Americans. He says that'll be the major threat facing Obama and those who follow him.

Bush also spoke of other threats posed by members of what he once referred to as an "axis of evil." He said North Korea is "still a problem" — and that it's important that talks on that country's nuclear program bring about a "strong verification regime."

"One of my concerns is that there might be a — a highly enriched uranium program," Bush said. "And therefore it is really important that out of the six-party talks comes a — a strong verification regime. In other words, in order to advance our relations with North Korea, the North Korean government must honor the commitments it made to allow for strong verification measures to be in place, to ensure that they don't develop a — a highly enriched uranium program, for example.

He also described Iran as "still dangerous."
