By helping democracy succeed in Iraq, we bring greater security to the people here at home 11:50:50 when the new Iraqi government takes office next year, Iraqis will have the only constitutional democracy in the Arab world 11:51:13 in a 1998 fatwa, osama bin laden argued 11:51:23 now bin laden and al Qaeda are the direct cause of the Iraqi people's suffering 11:51:41 lose the sanctuaries they need to plan new attacks. New Iraq will not be a quiet Iraq. 11:51:51 will be a nation full of passionate debate. 11:52:12 we must have confidence in our cause. World war II nations defeated fascism 11:52:27 in the cold war free nations defeated communism and helped our former Warsaw pact countries become democracies 11:52:52 like fascism and communism before, the hateful ideologies that use terror will be 11:53:11 advance of freedom in the middle east requires freedom in Iraq 11:53:23 by helping Iraqis build a strong democracy we are building our own security 11:53:43 when the declaration of independence was first read in public the liberty bell was rang in celebration 11:54:04 from Damascus to Tehran people hear it, and they know it means something 11:54:15 a new day of hope and freedom is dawning. Thank you for letting me come. Q&A 11:55:27 I would say 30 thousand have died 11:55:36 we have lost about 2140 of our own troops in Iraq 11:56:53 democracy which will help us provide safe haven from terrorists who want to kill us 11:57:08 problem with that strategy was that the internal threats were a heck of a lot more dangerous than the external threats 11:57:29 when we clear enemy out of places like mosul, there has to be an Iraqi army presence 11:57:46 Iraqi people had no confidence in the future 11:58:28 not all of them are ready to take the fight to the enemy. Have to be able to communicate, have to be able to move 11:58:49 we are not completed-we have not completed the job of training the Iraqis 11:59:09 closed or turned over about 40 of those bases to the Iraqis 11:59:20 these guys are very tough. And they are cold blooded killers 11:59:30 they can and will kill innocent people in the hopes of getting the united states of American to leave the battlefield early 11:59:51 we just got more to do. We need to do it. A free Iraq will be an important ally in this war 12:00:09 these are people who have a totalitarian vision 12:00:17 they lay out their vision and they explain their tactics 12:01:59 success 12:02:31 great strength of 12:02:51 our position in the world 12:02:57 I think we have a duty and obligation to 12:03:07 one is the tsunami. The tsunamis hit, it was the united states military 12:03:22 we moved. A lot of people kinda sat around and discussed, not us 12:03:39 got a lot of kids flying choppers all around that country 12:03:56 to defeat the propaganda. Having said that a lot of people want to come to America. 12:04:13 one thing America must never do is take people 12:04:26 you can come from wherever you are and I can come from Texas 12:05:23 9/11 changed my look on foreign policy 12:05:33 it said oceans no longer protected us 12:05:40 if we see a threat we have to deal with it 12:05:48 first decision I made was to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan because they were harboring terrorists 12:06:10 Saddam Hussein was a threat. He was a declared enemy of the united states 12:06:23 united nations had declared 12:06:36 and the 9/11 attacks accentuated that threat as far as I'm concerned 12:06:51 I'd make the decision again. Removing Saddam Hussein makes this world a better place and the united states a safer country 12:07:10 last question I actually have something to do. 12:07:36 I think it has been reduced 12:07:45 when I can tell the American people we've got the capacity to know where exactly the enemy is moving 12:08:02 that's why our intelligence gathering is really important 12:08:12 this guy zarqawi has sworn his allegiance to bin laden 12:08:24 continue to hone our intelligence gathering to make sure we can as best as possible 12:08:35 I can tell you the international cooperation when it comes to intelligence sharing his good 12:08:47 work with others to find out where their money is moving 12:08:57 the long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world 12:09:11 important for me to continue to remind the American people about what's taken place in history 12:09:39 he's also a friend when it comes to peace. He's a reliable steady ally when it comes to dealing with north Korea 12:09:58 good to have an ally that understands human rights and the condition of 12:10:10 yet 60 years ago my dad fought against the Japanese 12:10:21 that I sit down with this guy, strategizing about how to make the world a safer place 12:10:37 not all that long in history, when you think about it. And what happened was a Japanese style democracy emerged 12:11:04 just trying to look good in front of the folks here at home 12:11:16 democracies yield peace 12:11:28 if you're a supporter of Israel, I would strongly encourage you 12:11:40 I recognize 12:11:48 fully recognize that some people say it's impossible 12:11:57 I reject that. I don't agree with that. 12:12:06 if you believe that then you got to act on it. 12:12:15 that means using the influence of the united states

He was a declared enemy of the united states 12:06:23 united nations had declared 12:06:36 and the 9/11 attacks accentuated that threat as far as I'm concerned 12:06:51 I'd make the decision again. Removing Saddam Hussein makes this world a better place and the united states a safer country 12:07:10 last question I actually have something to do. 12:07:36 I think it has been reduced 12:07:45 when I can tell the American people we've got the capacity to know where exactly the enemy is moving 12:08:02 that's why our intelligence gathering is really important 12:08:12 this guy zarqawi has sworn his allegiance to bin laden 12:08:24 continue to hone our intelligence gathering to make sure we can as best as possible 12:08:35 I can tell you the international cooperation when it comes to intelligence sharing his good 12:08:47 work with others to find out where their money is moving 12:08:57 the long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world 12:09:11 important for me to continue to remind the American people about what's taken place in history 12:09:39 he's also a friend when it comes to peace. He's a reliable steady ally when it comes to dealing with north Korea 12:09:58 good to have an ally that understands human rights and the condition of 12:10:10 yet 60 years ago my dad fought against the Japanese 12:10:21 that I sit down with this guy, strategizing about how to make the world a safer place 12:10:37 not all that long in history, when you think about it. And what happened was a Japanese style democracy emerged 12:11:04 just trying to look good in front of the folks here at home 12:11:16 democracies yield peace 12:11:28 if you're a supporter of Israel, I would strongly encourage you 12:11:40 I recognize 12:11:48 fully recognize that some people say it's impossible 12:11:57 I reject that. I don't agree with that. 12:12:06 if you believe that then you got to act on it. 12:12:15 that means using the influence of the united states

President George W Bush Remarks on Iraq - Philadelphia, PA / Stix STIX 11:16:03 thank you for the chance to come speak to the Philadelphia world affairs council 11:16:17 come to discuss an issue that's really important. 11:16:25 that war started on September 11th, 2001 11:16:43 taking the fight to those who attacked us and to those who share their murderous vision 11:16:59 war on terror will take many turns 11:17:06 streets of western cities 11:17:19 Iraq is the central front in the war against humanity 11:17:26 we must recognize Iraq as the central front in the war against terror 11:17:38 recent weeks I have been discussing our strategy with the American people 11:18:15 today I am going to speak in depth 11:18:21 our efforts to help Iraqi people build lasting democracy 11:18:29 no better place to discuss rise of free Iraq than in Philadelphia 11:18:45 for letting me come, thank you all for welcoming me I got something to say and I'm looking forward to saying it 11:19:24 also pleased that jim gerlick and mike Fitzpatrick and 11:19:43 where our declaration of independence was signed 11:19:52 the success of America's democratic experiment seems almost inevitable 11:20:07 eight years 11:20:26 defused only by the personal intervention of George Washington 11:20:38 stayed on the run for 6 months. There were tensions between the mercantile north 11:20:53 and there were British loyalists who were 11:21:32 before the promise of our declaration was extended to all the Americas 11:21:46 no nation in history has made the transition to a free society 11:21:56 past two and a half years have been a period of difficult struggle in Iraq 11:22:07 over two and a half years ago Iraq was in the grip of a cruel dictator 11:22:40 three days from now they go to the polls for the first time 11:22:48 remarkable transformation for a country that has virtually no experience with democracy 11:24:05 encouraged that many Sunnis plan to actively participate 11:24:15 trying to foment anti democratic sentiment against the large Sunni community 11:24:35 terrorists affiliated with, or inspire by, al Qaeda are the smallest but most lethal group 11:24:54 al Qaeda's chief of operations in Iraq 11:25:02 terrorists' stated objective is to drive US and coalition forces out of Iraq 11:25:20 establish a totalitarian Islamic empire 11:25:28 terrorists in Iraq share the ideology of terrorists who struck on September 11th 11:25:46 this is an enemy without conscience, and they cannot be appeased 11:25:56 they would not be leading quiet lives as good citizens. They would be plotting and killing our citizens across the world and at home 11:26:19 we will accept nothing less than complete victor 11:26:36 pursuing a comprehensive strategy in Iraq 11:26:47 when Iraqi security forces can provide for safety of their own citizens 11:27:02 on the economic side we are helping the Iraqis rebuild their infrastructure 11:27:29 as we help the Iraqis fight these enemies, we are working to build capable Iraqi forces 11:27:46 making steady progress, Iraqi forces are becoming more and more capable 11:27:58 so they can take the fight to the enemy 11:28:05 American and coalition forces can concentrate on training the Iraqis 11:28:17 our efforts to help the Iraqis build inclusive 11:28:29 we will win over those who doubted they had a place in a new Iraq 11:28:41 by helping Iraqis build a democracy we will inspire reformers across the middle east 11:29:01 democracy takes different forms in different cultures 11:29:13 freedom of speech 11:29:21 respect for the belief of others is the only way to build a society where compassion and tolerance prevail 11:29:55 under Saddam Iraq was a country where dissent was crushed 11:30:05 secret courts 11:30:10 shia Muslims and Kurds and other groups were brutally repressed 11:30:25 fill the vacuum after liberation we established the coalition provisional authority 11:30:42 things did not always go as planned 11:30:49 helping to restore basic services 11:30:57 one of the CPA's most important tasks was bringing the Iraqi people into the decision making process of their own government 11:31:17 governing council gave Iraqis a voice in their own affairs 11:31:30 like free people everywhere, 11:31:45 under this plan the CPA would continue to govern Iraq 11:31:56 held elections to choose a new government. Only when that elected government took office 11:32:10 made it clear they wanted a constitution that was written by elected leaders of Iraq 11:32:25 negotiated a new plan with the governing council 11:32:33 transitional administrative law 11:32:42 guaranteed personal freedoms unprecedented in the Arab world 11:33:01 for Iraqis to hold free elections to choose a transitional government 11:33:14 put before the Iraqi people a nationwide 11:33:31 first milestone was met when our coalition handed over control 11:33:42 went to the polls and chose their leaders in a free election 11:34:06 they were not without flaws. One 11:34:22 many realized their failure to participate in the free elections had hurt their chances 11:34:41 encouraged Iraq's leaders to reach out to Sunni leaders 11:34:53 including a vice president, a minister of defense, and a speaker of the assembly 11:35:09 Iraq's leaders reached out to Sunni Arabs who had boycotted elections 11:35:25 after much tough debate representatives of Iraq's diverse communities 11:35:47 document that originally emerged from the community 11:36:02 thanks to the last minute changes 11:36:08 deal was struck four days before Iraqis went to the polls 11:36:19 approved in referendums 11:36:27 Sunnis voted in large numbers for the first time. They joined the political process 11:36:41 Iraqis adopted the most progressive democratic constitution in the Arab world 11:36:57 it'll be a remarkable event in the Arab world 11:37:10 full of signs and posters, radio and television airwaves are thick with political ads and commentaries 11:37:31 troops see this young democracy up close 11:37:42 reminds me of being home during election time 11:37:52 many Sunnis are campaigning for office this time around 11:38:06 two major Sunni coalitions have formed 11:38:16 election is a vote for Iraq. We want a national Iraq 11:39:32 Sunnis are now ready to participate 11:41:14 at every stage Iraqis prove the skeptics and pessimists wrong 11:41:27 by meeting their milestones, Iraqis are 11:41:44 Iraqis still have more difficult work ahead. 11:41:55 insuring Iraqi security, forming an inclusive Iraqi government 11:42:08 first key challenge is security 11:42:17 they will try to break our will and intimidate the Iraqi people and their leaders 11:42:32 they know as democracy takes root in that country, their hateful ideology will suffer a devastating blow 11:42:55 as the Iraqi security forces stand up, coalition forces can stand down 11:43:10 forming an inclusive government 11:43:30 two thirds of the new parliament must agree on the top leadership posts 11:43:44 new government will face many tough questions 11:43:52 Iraqi leaders will also have to review and possibly amend the constitution 11:44:08 important step in helping to defeat the terrorists and the saddamists 11:44:22 Iraqis still have to overcome longstanding ethnic tensions 11:44:35 for some there is now a temptation to take justice into their own hands 11:44:46 some of them appeared to have been beaten or tortured 11:44:58 investigation has been launched, and we support those efforts 11:45:09 an impartial system of justice that protects all of Iraq's citizens 11:45:41 slowly but surely with the help of our coalition, the Iraqis are replacing the rule of tyrant with the rule of law 11:46:00 not justified so long as we do not abandon the Iraqi people in their hour of need 11:46:14 not going to be easy and it's not going to happen overnight 11:46:24 the united states, along with the united nations and the Arab league 11:46:36 as long as Iraqis continue to develop habits of liberty 11:46:47 for the Iraqis 11:46:52 Iraq's neighbor to the east, Iran, is actively working to undermine a free Iraq 11:47:08 Iraq's neighbor to the west, Syria, many terrorists have used that territory to pass into Iraq 11:47:27 USA will stand with the Iraqi people who stand against threats from these neighbors 11:47:45 many Arab states have kept the new Iraq at arm's distance 11:47:58 recently, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan 11:48:11 another such meeting is planned for next year in Baghdad 11:48:19 Arab leaders are beginning to recognize the choice in Iraq 11:48:31 if the terrorists prevail in Iraq they will then challenge other nations 11:48:46 call on them, those who have pledged assistance, to make good on their commitments 11:49:03 united nations is playing a vital role in Iraq 11:49:14 at the request of the Iraqi government, 11:49:26 earlier this year the European union co hosted a conference 11:49:38 whatever differences there were over the decision to liberate Iraq 11:49:52 be a source of stability and freedom in the world 11:50:01 Iraqis are determined to overcome them and build a free nation 11:50:21 the American and Iraqi people share the same interests and the same enemies. By helping democracy succeed in Iraq, we bring greater security to the people here at home 11:50:50 when the new Iraqi government takes office next year, Iraqis will have the only constitutional democracy in the Arab world 11:51:13 in a 1998 fatwa, osama bin laden argued 11:51:23 now bin laden and al Qaeda are the direct cause of the Iraqi people's suffering 11:51:41 lose the sanctuaries they need to plan new attacks. New Iraq will not be a quiet Iraq. 11:51:51 will be a nation full of passionate debate. 11:52:12 we must have confidence in our cause. World war II nations defeated fascism 11:52:27 in the cold war free nations defeated communism and helped our former Warsaw pact countries become democracies 11:52:52 like fascism and communism before, the hateful ideologies that use terror will be 11:53:11 advance of freedom in the middle east requires freedom in Iraq 11:53:23 by helping Iraqis build a strong democracy we are building our own security 11:53:43 when the declaration of independence was first read in public the liberty bell was rang in celebration 11:54:04 from Damascus to Tehran people hear it, and they know it means something 11:54:15 a new day of hope and freedom is dawning. Thank you for letting me come. Q&A 11:55:27 I would say 30 thousand have died 11:55:36 we have lost about 2140 of our own troops in Iraq 11:56:53 democracy which will help us provide safe haven from terrorists who want to kill us 11:57:08 problem with that strategy was that the internal threats were a heck of a lot more dangerous than the external threats 11:57:29 when we clear enemy out of places like mosul, there has to be an Iraqi army presence 11:57:46 Iraqi people had no confidence in the future 11:58:28 not all of them are ready to take the fight to the enemy. Have to be able to communicate, have to be able to move 11:58:49 we are not completed-we have not completed the job of training the Iraqis 11:59:09 closed or turned over about 40 of those bases to the Iraqis 11:59:20 these guys are very tough. And they are cold blooded killers 11:59:30 they can and will kill innocent people in the hopes of getting the united states of American to leave the battlefield early 11:59:51 we just got more to do. We need to do it. A free Iraq will be an important ally in this war 12:00:09 these are people who have a totalitarian vision 12:00:17 they lay out their vision and they explain their tactics 12:01:59 success 12:02:31 great strength of 12:02:51 our position in the world 12:02:57 I think we have a duty and obligation to 12:03:07 one is the tsunami. The tsunamis hit, it was the united states military 12:03:22 we moved. A lot of people kinda sat around and discussed, not us 12:03:39 got a lot of kids flying choppers all around that country 12:03:56 to defeat the propaganda. Having said that a lot of people want to come to America. 12:04:13 one thing America must never do is take people 12:04:26 you can come from wherever you are and I can come from Texas 12:05:23 9/11 changed my look on foreign policy 12:05:33 it said oceans no longer protected us 12:05:40 if we see a threat we have to deal with it 12:05:48 first decision I made was to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan because they were harboring terrorists 12:06:10 Saddam Hussein was a threat.

He's a reliable steady ally when it comes to dealing with north Korea 12:09:58 good to have an ally that understands human rights and the condition of 12:10:10 yet 60 years ago my dad fought against the Japanese 12:10:21 that I sit down with this guy, strategizing about how to make the world a safer place 12:10:37 not all that long in history, when you think about it.

By helping democracy succeed in Iraq, we bring greater security to the people here at home 11:50:50 when the new Iraqi government takes office next year, Iraqis will have the only constitutional democracy in the Arab world 11:51:13 in a 1998 fatwa, osama bin laden argued 11:51:23 now bin laden and al Qaeda are the direct cause of the Iraqi people's suffering 11:51:41 lose the sanctuaries they need to plan new attacks. New Iraq will not be a quiet Iraq. 11:51:51 will be a nation full of passionate debate. 11:52:12 we must have confidence in our cause. World war II nations defeated fascism 11:52:27 in the cold war free nations defeated communism and helped our former Warsaw pact countries become democracies 11:52:52 like fascism and communism before, the hateful ideologies that use terror will be 11:53:11 advance of freedom in the middle east requires freedom in Iraq 11:53:23 by helping Iraqis build a strong democracy we are building our own security 11:53:43 when the declaration of independence was first read in public the liberty bell was rang in celebration 11:54:04 from Damascus to Tehran people hear it, and they know it means something 11:54:15 a new day of hope and freedom is dawning. Thank you for letting me come. Q&A 11:55:27 I would say 30 thousand have died 11:55:36 we have lost about 2140 of our own troops in Iraq 11:56:53 democracy which will help us provide safe haven from terrorists who want to kill us 11:57:08 problem with that strategy was that the internal threats were a heck of a lot more dangerous than the external threats 11:57:29 when we clear enemy out of places like mosul, there has to be an Iraqi army presence 11:57:46 Iraqi people had no confidence in the future 11:58:28 not all of them are ready to take the fight to the enemy. Have to be able to communicate, have to be able to move 11:58:49 we are not completed-we have not completed the job of training the Iraqis 11:59:09 closed or turned over about 40 of those bases to the Iraqis 11:59:20 these guys are very tough. And they are cold blooded killers 11:59:30 they can and will kill innocent people in the hopes of getting the united states of American to leave the battlefield early 11:59:51 we just got more to do. We need to do it. A free Iraq will be an important ally in this war 12:00:09 these are people who have a totalitarian vision 12:00:17 they lay out their vision and they explain their tactics 12:01:59 success 12:02:31 great strength of 12:02:51 our position in the world 12:02:57 I think we have a duty and obligation to 12:03:07 one is the tsunami. The tsunamis hit, it was the united states military 12:03:22 we moved. A lot of people kinda sat around and discussed, not us 12:03:39 got a lot of kids flying choppers all around that country 12:03:56 to defeat the propaganda. Having said that a lot of people want to come to America. 12:04:13 one thing America must never do is take people 12:04:26 you can come from wherever you are and I can come from Texas 12:05:23 9/11 changed my look on foreign policy 12:05:33 it said oceans no longer protected us 12:05:40 if we see a threat we have to deal with it 12:05:48 first decision I made was to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan because they were harboring terrorists 12:06:10 Saddam Hussein was a threat. He was a declared enemy of the united states 12:06:23 united nations had declared 12:06:36 and the 9/11 attacks accentuated that threat as far as I'm concerned 12:06:51 I'd make the decision again. Removing Saddam Hussein makes this world a better place and the united states a safer country 12:07:10 last question I actually have something to do. 12:07:36 I think it has been reduced 12:07:45 when I can tell the American people we've got the capacity to know where exactly the enemy is moving 12:08:02 that's why our intelligence gathering is really important 12:08:12 this guy zarqawi has sworn his allegiance to bin laden 12:08:24 continue to hone our intelligence gathering to make sure we can as best as possible 12:08:35 I can tell you the international cooperation when it comes to intelligence sharing his good 12:08:47 work with others to find out where their money is moving 12:08:57 the long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world 12:09:11 important for me to continue to remind the American people about what's taken place in history 12:09:39 he's also a friend when it comes to peace. He's a reliable steady ally when it comes to dealing with north Korea 12:09:58 good to have an ally that understands human rights and the condition of 12:10:10 yet 60 years ago my dad fought against the Japanese 12:10:21 that I sit down with this guy, strategizing about how to make the world a safer place 12:10:37 not all that long in history, when you think about it. And what happened was a Japanese style democracy emerged 12:11:04 just trying to look good in front of the folks here at home 12:11:16 democracies yield peace 12:11:28 if you're a supporter of Israel, I would strongly encourage you 12:11:40 I recognize 12:11:48 fully recognize that some people say it's impossible 12:11:57 I reject that. I don't agree with that. 12:12:06 if you believe that then you got to act on it. 12:12:15 that means using the influence of the united states

Even in music class, even when she shouldn't," Kolvek said with a laugh.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>swift-wanting-to-be-a-singer-second-grade-yearbook.png </p>\n<p>The retired music teacher living now in Little Egg Harbor -- had the global popstar in class from first through fourth grade at the Wyndcroft School in Pottstown.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Clouds give way to some afternoon sunny weather around Philadelphia</p>\n<p>"I did give her her very first singing solo!" Kolvek said with a smile, "'Fast Talk Freddie,' I believe it was called."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Laid out on a table in her music room were yearbooks, a signed T-shirt, a stuffed snowman Swift gifted to her and other mementos. Kolvek could not help but smile when talking about Swift. </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>kolvek-and-swift.png </p>\n<p>swift-gift-to-kolvek-after-first-singing-solo-1.png </p>\n<p>For a while, the two stayed in touch, mostly over email.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"I feel like maybe I gave her a little spark or encouragement to do what she was doing," Kolvek said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In Douglassville, Pennsylvania, Heather Brown is reminiscing with her 21-year-old son, Ethan. Although she has moved on from teaching at the private school, Swift was in her very first class. Brown taught third grade back then.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"[She] probably doesn't get the messages anymore, but I still send her a Christmas card every year. I still write her notes and congratulate her," Brown said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Her son, Ethan, showed off a shirt with an iron-on photo he proudly wore to the Era's Tour.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>ethan.png </p>\n<p>"I didn't have any like glitter or any of that to wear one of the eras. So I made this shirt, you know, walking around feeling like I was the tallest man in the world," Ethan said with a smile.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The picture on the shirt is of him, at four years old, sitting next to Swift as a teenager. It was taken in the Reading Fightin Phillies dugout right before the Berks County native sang the national anthem in 2007.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Every student has a special quality. And you always remember every student from the quality they have. Taylor's quality was just being she was one of those students where people just drew to," Brown said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>brown-and-swift.png </p>\n<p>Both teachers want their former student to know, they are cheering her on back at home.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Everything she touches turns to gold. And I'm just so excited to see what comes next," Brown said. "When she comes out on stage and everyone's screaming 'Taylor,' it's like, oh my gosh, like I was her teacher!"</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"I would say how proud I was of her and that she has never lost her focus and she's never lost the real person that she is," Kolvek said. "She's always been very honest and open, and I admire that in her."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Oh, and one more message to Taylor from Ethan the little boy who helped her throw out the first pitch years ago.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Do you want to sing at my wedding?" Ethan asked.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>She might have a song or two for that.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p>NATS UP FULL</p>\n<p>RUNS :04</p>\n<p>OUTCUE: DOWN YOUR STREET *FADES*</p>\n<p>(( NATS UP FULL ))*WA2 </p>\n<p>RUNS :04</p>\n<p>OUTCUE: DOWN YOUR STREET *FADES*</p>\n<p>*W3 34 ]] C2.5 G 0 [[</p>\n<p>JESSICA / VO CONT.</p>\n<p>(( JESSICA / VO CONT. ))</p>\n<p> TAYLOR SWIFT DROPPED HER 11TH STUDIO ALBUM AT MIDNIGHT -- "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT" --</p>\n<p> AND SHE MADE IT WORTH THE WAIT FOR FANS.</p>\n<p> TWO HOURS AFTER THE RELEASE-- SHE ANNOUNCED IT WAS A DOUBLE ALBUM!</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>*</p>\n<p>JESSICA UKEE 2SHOT</p>\n<p>(( JESSICA ))*</p>\n<p> SOCIAL MEDIA WAS FILLED WITH VIDEOS OF SWIFTIES TAKING TO THE INTERNET SAYING THEY WERE OBESSED WITH THE DOUBLE ALBUM!</p>\n<p>(( UKEE ))</p>\n<p> SWIFTIES....DO HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU!</p>\n<p> CBS PHILADELPHIAS NIKKI DEMENTRI INTRODUCES YOU</p>\n<p> TO A PAIR OF TAYLORS TEACHERS.....

There were tensions between the mercantile north 11:20:53 and there were British loyalists who were 11:21:32 before the promise of our declaration was extended to all the Americas 11:21:46 no nation in history has made the transition to a free society 11:21:56 past two and a half years have been a period of difficult struggle in Iraq 11:22:07 over two and a half years ago Iraq was in the grip of a cruel dictator 11:22:40 three days from now they go to the polls for the first time 11:22:48 remarkable transformation for a country that has virtually no experience with democracy 11:24:05 encouraged that many Sunnis plan to actively participate 11:24:15 trying to foment anti democratic sentiment against the large Sunni community 11:24:35 terrorists affiliated with, or inspire by, al Qaeda are the smallest but most lethal group 11:24:54 al Qaeda's chief of operations in Iraq 11:25:02 terrorists' stated objective is to drive US and coalition forces out of Iraq 11:25:20 establish a totalitarian Islamic empire 11:25:28 terrorists in Iraq share the ideology of terrorists who struck on September 11th 11:25:46 this is an enemy without conscience, and they cannot be appeased 11:25:56 they would not be leading quiet lives as good citizens. They would be plotting and killing our citizens across the world and at home 11:26:19 we will accept nothing less than complete victor 11:26:36 pursuing a comprehensive strategy in Iraq 11:26:47 when Iraqi security forces can provide for safety of their own citizens 11:27:02 on the economic side we are helping the Iraqis rebuild their infrastructure 11:27:29 as we help the Iraqis fight these enemies, we are working to build capable Iraqi forces 11:27:46 making steady progress, Iraqi forces are becoming more and more capable 11:27:58 so they can take the fight to the enemy 11:28:05 American and coalition forces can concentrate on training the Iraqis 11:28:17 our efforts to help the Iraqis build inclusive 11:28:29 we will win over those who doubted they had a place in a new Iraq 11:28:41 by helping Iraqis build a democracy we will inspire reformers across the middle east 11:29:01 democracy takes different forms in different cultures 11:29:13 freedom of speech 11:29:21 respect for the belief of others is the only way to build a society where compassion and tolerance prevail 11:29:55 under Saddam Iraq was a country where dissent was crushed 11:30:05 secret courts 11:30:10 shia Muslims and Kurds and other groups were brutally repressed 11:30:25 fill the vacuum after liberation we established the coalition provisional authority 11:30:42 things did not always go as planned 11:30:49 helping to restore basic services 11:30:57 one of the CPA's most important tasks was bringing the Iraqi people into the decision making process of their own government 11:31:17 governing council gave Iraqis a voice in their own affairs 11:31:30 like free people everywhere, 11:31:45 under this plan the CPA would continue to govern Iraq 11:31:56 held elections to choose a new government. Only when that elected government took office 11:32:10 made it clear they wanted a constitution that was written by elected leaders of Iraq 11:32:25 negotiated a new plan with the governing council 11:32:33 transitional administrative law 11:32:42 guaranteed personal freedoms unprecedented in the Arab world 11:33:01 for Iraqis to hold free elections to choose a transitional government 11:33:14 put before the Iraqi people a nationwide 11:33:31 first milestone was met when our coalition handed over control 11:33:42 went to the polls and chose their leaders in a free election 11:34:06 they were not without flaws.

New Iraq will not be a quiet Iraq. 11:51:51 will be a nation full of passionate debate. 11:52:12 we must have confidence in our cause. World war II nations defeated fascism 11:52:27 in the cold war free nations defeated communism and helped our former Warsaw pact countries become democracies 11:52:52 like fascism and communism before, the hateful ideologies that use terror will be 11:53:11 advance of freedom in the middle east requires freedom in Iraq 11:53:23 by helping Iraqis build a strong democracy we are building our own security 11:53:43 when the declaration of independence was first read in public the liberty bell was rang in celebration 11:54:04 from Damascus to Tehran people hear it, and they know it means something 11:54:15 a new day of hope and freedom is dawning. Thank you for letting me come. Q&A 11:55:27 I would say 30 thousand have died 11:55:36 we have lost about 2140 of our own troops in Iraq 11:56:53 democracy which will help us provide safe haven from terrorists who want to kill us 11:57:08 problem with that strategy was that the internal threats were a heck of a lot more dangerous than the external threats 11:57:29 when we clear enemy out of places like mosul, there has to be an Iraqi army presence 11:57:46 Iraqi people had no confidence in the future 11:58:28 not all of them are ready to take the fight to the enemy. Have to be able to communicate, have to be able to move 11:58:49 we are not completed-we have not completed the job of training the Iraqis 11:59:09 closed or turned over about 40 of those bases to the Iraqis 11:59:20 these guys are very tough. And they are cold blooded killers 11:59:30 they can and will kill innocent people in the hopes of getting the united states of American to leave the battlefield early 11:59:51 we just got more to do. We need to do it. A free Iraq will be an important ally in this war 12:00:09 these are people who have a totalitarian vision 12:00:17 they lay out their vision and they explain their tactics 12:01:59 success 12:02:31 great strength of 12:02:51 our position in the world 12:02:57 I think we have a duty and obligation to 12:03:07 one is the tsunami. The tsunamis hit, it was the united states military 12:03:22 we moved. A lot of people kinda sat around and discussed, not us 12:03:39 got a lot of kids flying choppers all around that country 12:03:56 to defeat the propaganda. Having said that a lot of people want to come to America. 12:04:13 one thing America must never do is take people 12:04:26 you can come from wherever you are and I can come from Texas 12:05:23 9/11 changed my look on foreign policy 12:05:33 it said oceans no longer protected us 12:05:40 if we see a threat we have to deal with it 12:05:48 first decision I made was to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan because they were harboring terrorists 12:06:10 Saddam Hussein was a threat. He was a declared enemy of the united states 12:06:23 united nations had declared 12:06:36 and the 9/11 attacks accentuated that threat as far as I'm concerned 12:06:51 I'd make the decision again. Removing Saddam Hussein makes this world a better place and the united states a safer country 12:07:10 last question I actually have something to do. 12:07:36 I think it has been reduced 12:07:45 when I can tell the American people we've got the capacity to know where exactly the enemy is moving 12:08:02 that's why our intelligence gathering is really important 12:08:12 this guy zarqawi has sworn his allegiance to bin laden 12:08:24 continue to hone our intelligence gathering to make sure we can as best as possible 12:08:35 I can tell you the international cooperation when it comes to intelligence sharing his good 12:08:47 work with others to find out where their money is moving 12:08:57 the long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world 12:09:11 important for me to continue to remind the American people about what's taken place in history 12:09:39 he's also a friend when it comes to peace. He's a reliable steady ally when it comes to dealing with north Korea 12:09:58 good to have an ally that understands human rights and the condition of 12:10:10 yet 60 years ago my dad fought against the Japanese 12:10:21 that I sit down with this guy, strategizing about how to make the world a safer place 12:10:37 not all that long in history, when you think about it. And what happened was a Japanese style democracy emerged 12:11:04 just trying to look good in front of the folks here at home 12:11:16 democracies yield peace 12:11:28 if you're a supporter of Israel, I would strongly encourage you 12:11:40 I recognize 12:11:48 fully recognize that some people say it's impossible 12:11:57 I reject that. I don't agree with that. 12:12:06 if you believe that then you got to act on it. 12:12:15 that means using the influence of the united states
