Washington - Liberian President Charles Taylor must be gone and a ceasefire in place before US forces intervene in war-torn Liberia, President George W Bush said on Wednesday.

The US force will be there to support the peacekeeping force planned by the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), Bush added.

"The conditions that I laid out for the Liberian rescue mission still exists: Charles Taylor must go, a cease-fire must be in place, and we will be there to help Ecowas," said Bush, speaking at a press conference at the White House Rose Garden.
