THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.Over the past week, I have been monitoring the situation in the Middle East closely with the members of my national security team.Secretary Rice is actively engaged in diplomacy.And I've been in contact with leaders throughout the region--including the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Jordan, the President of Egypt, the President and Prime Minister of the Palestinian Territories, and the Prime Minister of Israel.This recent outburst of violence was instigated by Hamas--a Palestinian terrorist group supported by Iran and Syria that calls for Israel's destruction.Eighteen months ago, Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in a coup, and since then has imported thousands of guns and rockets and mortars.Egypt brokered a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, but Hamas routinely violated that ceasefire by launching rockets into Israel.On December 19th, Hamas
announced an end to the ceasefire and soon unleashed a barrage of rockets and mortars that deliberately targeted innocent Israelis--an act of terror that is opposed by the legitimate leader of the Palestinian people, President Abbas.In response to these attacks on their people, the leaders of Israel have launched military operations on Hamas positions in Gaza.As a part of their strategy, Hamas terrorists often hide within the civilian population, which puts innocent Palestinians at risk.Regrettably, Palestinian civilians have been killed in recent days.The United States is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation facing the Palestinian people.Since Hamas's violent takeover in the summer of 2007, living conditions have worsened for Palestinians in Gaza.By spending its resources on rocket launchers instead of roads and schools, Hamas has
demonstrated that it has no intention of serving the Palestinian people.America has helped by providing tens of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid, and this week we contributed an additional $85 million through the United Nations.We have consistently called on all in the region to ensure that assistance reaches those in need.And as I told President Mubarak, America appreciates the role Egypt has played in facilitating the delivery of relief supplies in recent days.In addition to reducing humanitarian suffering, all nations must work toward a lasting end to the violence in the Holy Land, and a return to the path of peace.The United States is leading diplomatic efforts to achieve a meaningful ceasefire that is fully respected.Another one-way ceasefire that leads to rocket attacks on Israel is not acceptable.And promises from Hamas will not suffice--there must be monitoring mechanisms in place to help ensure that smuggling of weapons to terrorist groups in Gaza comes to an end.I urge all parties to
pressure Hamas to turn away from terror, and to support legitimate Palestinian leaders working for peace.In the days ahead, the United States will stay closely engaged with our partners in the region, in Europe, and in the international community.My Administration will continue to keep the President-elect and his team informed.And America's objectives in the Middle East will remain clear: We seek security and peace for our allies, the free people of Israel.For the Palestinian people, we seek a
peaceful and democratic Palestinian state that serves its citizens and respects its neighbors.For all in the region, we seek an end to terror.And we seek an enduring peace based on justice, dignity, and human rights for every person in every nation of the Middle East.Thank you for listening.

第三篇：布什就职演讲稿
Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush，President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil.We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.Every child must be taught these principles.Every citizen must uphold them.And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small.If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share.Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment.It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos.And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent.And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom.We will defend our allies and our interests.We will show purpose without arrogance.We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength.And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate.In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault.Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities.And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools.Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience.And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments.And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things.But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as anything government does.I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators;citizens, not subjects;responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it.When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: “We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”
Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.The yearsand changes accumulate.But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues.This story goes on.And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.

第五篇：布什清华演讲
Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks.Thank you for welcoming me and my wife , laura, here.I see she is keeping pretty good company with the Secretary of State, Collin Powell.It is good to see you, Mr.Secretary.And I see my National Security Adviser, Ms.Codoleezza Rice, who once was the provost of Stanford University, so she is comfortable on the university campuses such as this.Thank you for being here ,Codin.I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.The standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here.So congratulations.My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicious.President Richard Nixon showed that two vastly different
government could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: “you handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world-25years of no communication.During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many
handshakes of friendship and commerce.And as we have had more contact with each other ,the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.It was my honor to visit China in 1975.Some of you were not even born then.It shows how old I am.And a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progress in openness and enterprise and economic freedom.And this progress previews China’s great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to Chinese leagal system.A morden China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.The new China you generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions.The lure of materialism challenges society in our country-and in many successful countries.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China, a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that you generation will help create.This is one of the mose exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem in your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.Six years from now, athletes from America and all around the world will come to you country for the Olympic Games, and I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a Daguo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.非常感谢**主席热情洋溢的欢迎致词，非常感谢您再这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。我发现她和国务卿科林。鲍威尔先生相处的非常好。
很高兴看到你国务卿先生。
我也看到了我的国家安全顾问康多莉萨.赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是再合适不过了。
谢谢你能来，康迪。
非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。
我这次访华恰逢一个重要的纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一位美国总统来到了中国，他访华之旅的目的是为了结速两国之间长达数十年的隔阂。，和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界表明了两个有重大差异的国家，本着互惠互利，互相尊重的精神是能够站在一起的。
那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说：“你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个还有就是互不交往的25年。”
30年以来，美国和中国握过多次友谊之手和商业之手。随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常重要的。
我在1975年有幸访问过中国，那时候在座的有些人可能还没有出生，这也表明我是多么老了。
从那时以来，贵国发生了很多变化。中国在开发，企业，经济自由方面都取得了惊人的成绩。这一成绩显示了中国的巨大潜能。中国已经加入了世贸组织，在各位旅行其义务的同时这些义务势必给中国的法律制度带来变化。一个现代化的中国将有着统一的法制来规范他们的商业生活和保障人民的利益。
你们这一代人正在建设的中国也需要深远传统的智慧结晶。物质利益的诱惑对我们的社会造成了挑战－在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了调整，在很多发达国家也是。
所以的这些变化将导致中国更强大，更自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也将使世界更加丰富。
这个这个就是诸位这一代帮助创立的中国。现在使中国历史上非常令人振奋的一个时期，此时此刻连最宏伟的梦想似乎也唾手可得。我的国度，对中国表示尊敬和友谊。
再过六年，来自美国和世界各地的运动员将到贵国参加奥运会，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国是一个正在变成大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个民心安定，与世界和平共处的国家。
