It's a terrific country.

All they have to do is read our security agreements.

We have interest rates at a 20-year low.

The American people should be very proud of them.

Because they are not fully in compliance with the NPT.

I think, clearly, largely because of the low interest rates and the refinancing, so that we're shifting not so much from debt to equity but from high-cost debt to lower cost debt.

We honor everybody who has served this country, and we stick together.

The strategy we are seeking to follow at home is one that brings the deficit down, increases investments both public and private, and the generation of new jobs and new technologies.

You are a very critical part of the finest Armed Forces the world has ever seen.

I wish they were free to walk across this bridge and be with us in peace and freedom.

I want to reinforce the message that I issued yesterday in my meeting with President Kim and in my speech to the National Assembly.

Well, I hope there will be an agreement, and I hope I can answer yes to the question that I just posed. I don't think I should say much more about it now. They're talking----
