Today we've sent AWACS aircraft and patriot missiles and chem-bio defensive equipment to Turkey, another ally in trouble, under threat, asking for help, ... That's what the alliance of free nations is all about. |
Together, the countries that spent four decades glowering at each other across the wall of hatred and fear now have the opportunity to transform Euro-Atlantic security for the better, |

We are confronting a regime which is intent on genocide, |
We are determined to starve this limited group of extremists of the means |
We are focusing entirely on the defense of Turkey in the circumstances where that ally believes it is under threat and NATO as a collective security alliance with obligations that go along with that. (But) we're not part of any decision-making process that is tied to the United Nations. |
We are still assessing the full impact of the damage we have inflicted. However, it is already clear we have inflicted substantial damage on Saddam's chemical and biological war machine and set back his ambition to threaten his neighbors, |
We did the right thing, we did the only thing. We stopped a great evil, |
We had a very good and useful meeting and I was very pleased to get the Russian proposal on missile defence, |
We have heard that some villages do not exist, |
We have not yet achieved a consensus on taskings on particular proposals that have been put forward, |
We sat and glowered at each other for 40 years, then we tiptoed around each other for 10. Now we are in an era of substantial and practical cooperation. Russia is a special and major partner, |
We stand shoulder to shoulder in a new kind of struggle and a struggle that we have to win, |
We want joint decision-making in certain areas which would need consensus 'at 20' and obviously we would work to get it, on the other hand nobody can deny the right of NATO to act as 19 if it decides to do so, |
We want to work with GE and keep them happy, but the key goal for long-term economic health is to diversify. |
