George W. Bush

Congratulations for representing the finest nation on the face of the Earth.

8 is the luckiest number that the Chinese have in their tradition.

President and Mrs. Bush continue to actively express the American people's support for the people of Burma as they struggle for democracy, human rights, and freedom.

The United States has provided significant humanitarian assistance to the people of Burma.

The United States has played an important role in helping Asia transform from a region mired in poverty to one that is thriving and dynamic.

Nations of the Asia Pacific now have more vibrant trade and investment ties than ever before.

Together, our nations are confronting the threat of terror and have captured and killed some of the world's most dangerous terrorists.

Trusting people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential.

Thailand was an essential player in our efforts to get humanitarian assistance to the Burmese people after the cyclone.

I admire your forthrightness, your integrity, and your deep love for the people of Korea.

And as South Korea has grown in strength, it takes a larger role, more significant role in its own defenses.

Removing Saddam Hussein was the right decision at the time, and it's the right decision today.

Ours is a vital relationship.

I believe there's an Almighty, and a gift of that Almighty to every man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth is freedom.

The regime at Pyongyang has threatened the peace of the world with pursuit of nuclear weapons.

I urged relevant North Korean authorities to engage in inter-Korean dialogue to promptly resolve the case and prevent any recurrence of such a tragedy.

I expressed deep appreciation for the contribution Korea has made to peace and reconstruction in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflict areas.

It's important to prevent the crime from happening in the first place, that we have a duty.

I'm so honored to be here at freedom's frontier.

I thank you for your service. I thank you for your sacrifice.

We're bringing hope to people, and that's important, for people to have hope.

It's something that they're going to have to continue to work out.

I'm looking forward to our conversations.

The American people are grateful for your service, and so is your Commander in Chief.

I enjoy coming to a free society, where people are able to express their opinions.
