George W. Bush

We threw all the muscle and all the weight of the United States behind the vision.

I believe the day will come when the map of the Middle East shows a peaceful, secure Israel beside a peaceful and democratic Palestine.

I was the first American President to call for a Palestinian state.

These battles led to significant loss of life for both sides, as well as for the island's native peoples.

I'm confident that the steps we're taking will help fix the problems in our economy.

I encourage all Americans to observe this solemn occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Americans will never forget the harrowing sacrifices made in the Pacific by soldiers and civilians.

I love to hear their spirit in their voice.

I definitely think it was a major breakthrough.

I am confident it will emerge.

I'm concerned about our workers who've lost jobs during this downturn.

Japan is a strong ally of the United States of America, an ally in defending our liberties, and an ally in spreading liberty as the great ideological alternative to an enemy that still wants to do us harm.

We are engaged in an ideological struggle.

The SFA normalizes the U.S.-Iraqi relationship with strong economic, diplomatic, cultural, and security ties.

The sustained security gains and increasing capacity and confidence of the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Security Forces are reasons the United States and the Iraqis were able to negotiate these agreements.

The greatest of these blessings is freedom, the Almighty's gift to every man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth.

Today we celebrate the 85th anniversary of the National Christmas Tree lighting.

America honors their service, and we are grateful to the sacrifice of the families who stand by their side.

The SFA and Security Agreement with Iraq move us closer to the strategic vision we all hope for in the Middle East.

The SFA implements the Iraqi and U.S. desire for a long-term relationship based on cooperation and friendship as set out in the Declaration of Principles signed in November 2007.

This package provides a solid foundation for the next President to pursue a full range of policy options with Iraq.

Our troops will also continue to have essential operational authorities to sustain positive security trends seen in Iraq over the past year.

It is necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the United States, to suspend for a period of 6 months the limitations set forth in sections 3(b) and 7(b) of the Act.

These agreements protect U.S. interests in the Middle East, help the Iraqi people stand on their own, and reinforce Iraqi sovereignty.

To strengthen America's 'armies of compassion,' the Initiative trained more than 150,000 social entrepreneurs on how to increase the impact of their work.
