Your love of liberty has made NATO stronger.

We must bring hope to millions by strengthening young democracies from Kabul to Baghdad to Beirut.

The War on Terror we fight today is more than a military conflict - it is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century.

I appreciate being in a country that understands there are duties and obligations beyond her border to help others realize the benefits of liberty and freedom.

We recognize that Russia is a vital and important country - and that it is in our interest to increase our cooperation in areas such as countering terrorism and preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

We'll protect our people, defend our freedom, and send a clear message to the extremists: The forces of freedom and decency will prevail.

This is a difficult thing to do.

My Administration is committed to fighting the spread of methamphetamine abuse throughout our country.

The goal for Iraq remains the same: A democratic Iraq that is able to govern itself, defend itself, sustain itself and is an ally in the war on terror.

We need to be talking about a way forward and a strategy for dealing with it.

I think he sees it as a real opportunity, but also challenges.

In this time of great sadness, we give thanks for his life of service.

We send our condolences to his wife, Barbara, his entire family, and his fellow law enforcement officers.

Officer Favela risked his life every day to protect the people of his community.
