ABOUT FRIENDS

 A lot of people are working really hard to protect America, but in the long run, the best way to defend our homeland, the best way to make sure our children can live in peace, is to take the battle to the enemy and to stop them. :: 011108

 After all, on our TV screens the other day, we saw the evil one threatening -- calling for more destruction and death in America. :: 011000

 Alliances with terrorists could allow the Iraqi regime to attack America without leaving any fingerprints. :: 021007

 Along the way, he became a role model -- especially for his two daughters and for the many children he spoke to in schools. :: 030204

 America and Afghanistan are now allies against terror. :: 020129

 America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. :: 010911

 America has a special calling to come to their aid and we will do so with the compassion and generosity that have always defined the United States. :: 030201r

 America has a vital interest in European stability and therefore peace in the region. :: 010725

 America is a friend to the people of Iraq. :: 021007

 America is working with Russia and China and India, in ways we have never before, to achieve peace and prosperity. :: 020129

 America is working with the countries of the region--South Korea, Japan, China and Russia--to find a peaceful solution and to show the North Korean government that nuclear weapons will bring only isolation, economic stagnation and continued hardship. :: 030128

 America will not accept a serious and mounting threat to our country and our friends and our allies. :: 030128

 Both Americans and Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. :: 010917

 Children without fathers in neighborhoods where gangs seem like friendship, where drugs promise peace, and where sex, sadly, seems like the closest thing to belonging. :: 000803

 Double taxation falls especially hard on retired people. :: 030107

 Every leader actually committed to peace will end incitement to violence in official media, and publicly denounce homicide bombings. :: 020624

 Every nation actually committed to peace must block the shipment of Iranian supplies to these groups, and oppose regimes that promote terror, like Iraq. :: 020624

 Every nation actually committed to peace will stop the flow of money, equipment and recruits to terrorist groups seeking the destruction of Israel -- including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. :: 020624

 finally, no one can say with any certainty what constitutes a dangerous level of warming, and therefore what level must be avoided. :: 010611

 finally, one final point for the world to hear: Saddam Hussein has defied the United Nations 16 times. :: 020914

 finally, please continue praying for the victims of terror and their families, for those in uniform and for our great country. :: 010920

 For example, our useful efforts to reduce sulfur emissions may have actually increased warming, because sulfate particles reflect sunlight, bouncing it back into space. :: 010611

 For the sake of economic vitality, I'm asking Congress to make all the tax rate reductions effective this year. :: 030107

 He's fired ballistic missiles at Iran and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Israel. :: 020912

 he lives of Iraqi citizens would improve dramatically if Saddam Hussein were no longer in power, just as the lives of Afghanistan's citizens improved after the Taliban. :: 021007

 He says, ``We have no medicines, many hospitals tell people, 'You've got AIDS. We can't help you. Go home and die'. :: 030128

 History has called America and our allies to action, and it is both our responsibility and our privilege to fight freedom's fight. :: 020129

 I'm going to a hospital right after this to comfort families. :: 010913

 I'm going to ask my friend to envision a world in which a terrorist thug and/or a host nation might have the ability to develop -- to deliver a weapon of mass destruction via a --via rocket. :: 011000

 I've been a chief executive who sets an agenda, sets big goals, and rallies people to believe and achieve them. :: 000803

 I've invited my brother and my sister -- I want my family members to meet a good friend, a strong leader. :: 020914

 I am encouraging school children to write letters of friendship to Muslim children in different countries. :: 011108

 I am especially grateful tonight to my family. :: 000803

 I believe it's really important for the United States Congress to have an open dialogue about how to deal with this threat. :: 020904

 I call on the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Authority and our friends in the Arab world to join us in delivering a clear message to terrorists: Blowing yourself up does not help the Palestinian cause. :: 020404

 I have friends whose children suffer from juvenile diabetes. :: 010810

 I have worked for a faith-based initiative to rally and encourage the armies of compassion. :: 021212

 I personally think that a -- and I appreciate Tony Blair's -- and I've discussed this with him -- his vision about Afghan after we're successful --Afghanistan after we're successful. :: 011000

 I really appreciate the fact that you all are in charge, and I know the citizens of New York and the tri-state area, -- people of New Jersey and Connecticut -- are appreciative as well. :: 010913

 I respect the right to peaceful expression, but make no mistake, those who protest free trade are no friends of the poor. :: 010717

 I speak as a committed friend of Israel. :: 020404

 I was struck by this: that in many cities, when Christian and Jewish women learn that Muslim women --women of cover -- were afraid of going out of their homes alone, that they went shopping with them, that they showed true friendship and support -- an act that shows the world the true nature of America. :: 011000

 if an emboldened regime were to supply these weapons to terrorist allies, then the attacks of September the 11th would be a prelude to far greater horrors. :: 020912

 If liberty can blossom in the rocky soil of the West Bank and Gaza, it will inspire millions of men and women around the globe who are equally weary of poverty and oppression, equally entitled to the benefits of democratic government. :: 020624

 If military action is necessary, the United States and our allies will help the Iraqi people rebuild their economy, and create the institutions of liberty in a unified Iraq at peace with its neighbors. :: 021007

 If the Iraqi regime wishes peace, it will immediately and unconditionally forswear, disclose, and remove or destroy all weapons of mass destruction, long-range missiles, and all related material. :: 020912

 in 1995, after four years of deception, Iraq finally admitted it had a crash nuclear weapons program prior to the Gulf War. :: 020912

 In four short months, our nation has comforted the victims, begun to rebuild New York and the Pentagon, rallied a great coalition, captured, arrested, and rid the world of thousands of terrorists, destroyed Afghanistan's terrorist training camps, saved a people from starvation, and freed a country from brutal oppression. :: 020129

 In such a world, Cold War deterrence is no longer enough to maintain peace, to protect our own citizens and our own allies and friends. :: 010501

 In terms of missile defense, I can't wait to visit with my friend, Vladimir Putin, in Shanghai, to reiterate once again that the Cold War is over, it's done with, and that there are new threats that we face; and no better example of that new threat than the attack on America on September 11th. :: 011000

 instead of gradually raising the child tax credit from 600 to 1,000 per child by the year of 2010, for the benefit of 26 million families, we should raise it now. :: 030107

 Iraq possesses ballistic missiles with a likely range of hundreds of miles -- far enough to strike Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, and other nations -- in a region where more than 135,000 American civilians and service members live and work. :: 021007

 it could open the prospect of the United Nations helping to build a government that represents all Iraqis -- a government based on respect for human rights, economic liberty, and internationally supervised elections. :: 020912

 It prohibits us from exploring all options for defending against the threats that face us, our allies and other countries. :: 010501

 Like all Americans, they're proud of our country, they're proud of our military, they're proud of our allies for working together to free Afghanistan. :: 020910

 many have discovered again that even in tragedy -- especially in tragedy -- God is near. :: 020129

 Nations making progress toward freedom will find America is their friend. :: 010227

 No nation can pick and choose its terrorist friends. :: 020404

 No treaty that prevents us from addressing today's threats, that prohibits us from pursuing promising technology to defend ourselves, our friends and our allies is in our interests or in the interests of world peace. :: 010501

 On Saddam Hussein's orders, opponents have been decapitated, wives and mothers of political opponents have been systematically raped as a method of intimidation, and political prisoners have been forced to watch their own children being tortured. :: 021007

 Once again, this nation and our friends are all that stand between a world at peace, and a world of chaos and constant alarm. :: 030128

 One former welfare recipient here in California, happened to be a mother of a chronically-ill child and the victim of domestic violence, describes her experience upon leaving welfare. :: 020430

 Our budget provides more than 700 million over the next 10 years for a Federal Compassion Capital Fund with a focused and noble mission: to provide a mentor to the more than 1 million children with a parent in prison and to support other local efforts to fight illiteracy, teen pregnancy, drug addiction and other difficult problems. :: 010227

 Our goal is to hasten the day when peace is self-sustaining, when local democratically elected authorities can assume full responsibility and when NATO forces can go home. :: 010725

 Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction. :: 020129

 Our staunch friends, Great Britain, our neighbors Canada and Mexico, our NATO allies, our allies in Asia, Russia and nations from every continent on the Earth have offered help of one kind or another -- from military assistance to intelligence information, to crack down on terrorists' financial networks. :: 011000

 Our willingness to recognize that with freedom comes great responsibility, especially for the least among us, may take the measure of the 21st century. :: 010717

 right now those resolutions are being unilaterally subverted by the Iraqi regime. :: 020912

 Russia and America both face new threats to security. :: 010501

 See, by ending double taxation of dividends, we will increase the return on investing, which will draw more money into the markets to provide capital to build factories, to buy equipment, hire more people. :: 030107

 So today, for the good of our senior citizens, and to support capital formation across the land, I'm asking the United States Congress to abolish the double taxation of dividends. :: 030107

 So we improved our schools, dramatically, for children of every accent, of every background. :: 000803

 States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. :: 020129

 That is why I am today committing the United States of America to work within the United Nations framework and elsewhere to develop with our friends and allies and nations throughout the world an effective and science-based response to the issue of global warming. :: 010611

 The emerging security threats to the United States, its friends and allies, and even to Russia, now come from rogue states, terrorist groups and other adversaries seeking weapons of mass destruction, and the means to deliver them. :: 000523

 The enormity of this tragedy has caused many Americans to focus on the things that have not changed, the things that matter most in life: our faith, our love for family and friends, our commitment to our country and to our freedoms and to our principles. :: 011108

 The Security Council renewed its demand three more times in 1997, citing flagrant violations; and three more times in 1998, calling Iraq's behavior totally unacceptable. :: 020912

 The story I talked about earlier was one that really touched my heart, about women of cover fearing to leave their homes. :: 011000

 The United States and her allies will pursue balance of world power that favors human freedom. :: 010717

 They could also give or sell those weapons to terrorist allies, who would use them without the least hesitation. :: 030128

 They have attacked America because we are freedom's home and defender, and the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time. :: 010914

 They strike America, but they're likely to strike Italy. They hate freedom. :: 020914

 To build this better world, we must be guided by three great goals: First, American and her friends and allies must pursue policies that keep the peace and promote prosperity. :: 010717

 To improve our health care system, we must address one of the prime causes of higher cost: the constant threat that physicians and hospitals will be unfairly sued. :: 030128

 To the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the nation. :: 010914

 Today's Russia is not our enemy, but a country in transition with an opportunity to emerge as a great nation, democratic, at peace with itself and its neighbors. :: 010501

 Today, we feel what Franklin Roosevelt called, "the warm courage of national unity. :: 010914

 Together we will give Americans the broad, fair and fiscally responsible tax relief they deserve. :: 001213

 Together we will give Americans the broad, fair, and fiscally responsible tax relief they deserve. :: 001214

 Together with friends and allies from Europe to Asia, and Africa to Latin America, we will demonstrate that the forces of terror cannot stop the momentum of freedom. :: 020129

 Tonight, many thousands of children are tragically learning to live without one of their parents. :: 011108

 Unlike the Cold War, today's most urgent threat stems not from thousands of ballistic missiles in the Soviet hands, but from a small number of missiles in the hands of these states -- states for whom terror and blackmail are a way of life. :: 010501

 We can begin by treating investors fairly and equally in our tax laws. :: 030107

 We must help protect our children, in our schools and streets, by finally and strictly enforcing our nation's gun laws. :: 000803

 We must work with allies and friends who wish to join with us to defend against the harm they can inflict. :: 010501

 We need mentors to love children, especially children whose parents are in prison. :: 020129

 We recognize the technological difficulties we face, and we look forward to I've made it clear from the very beginning that I would consult closely on the important subject with our friends and allies, who are also threatened by missiles and weapons of mass destruction. :: 010501

 We reject the ancient evil of anti-Semitism, whether it is practiced by the killers of Daniel Pearl, or by those who burn synagogues in France. :: 020430

 We should also strengthen the economy by treating investors equally in our tax laws. :: 030128

 We will not allow the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten America or our friends and allies with the world's most destructive weapons. :: 020430

 We will work with our allies and friends to be a force for good and a champion of freedom. :: 010227

 When doctors match sperm and egg to create life outside the womb, they usually produce more embryos than are implanted in the mother. :: 010810

 Where terrorist groups exist of global reach, the United States and our friends and allies will seek it out, and we will destroy it. :: 011108

 Women are now treated more equally. :: 000803

 Yet our resolve in each case will be clear: We will not permit any regime to threaten the freedom and security of the American people, or our allies and friends around the world. :: 030107

 Yet the cause of freedom rests on more than our ability to defend ourselves and our allies. :: 010227

 Yet, Israel also must recognize that such a state needs to be politically and economically viable. :: 020404
