That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is
at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy
is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part
of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare
the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered.
Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day
brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries
and threaten our planet. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. 我々が、現在危機の状況にあること( we are in the midst of crisis)は十分理解されています(is now well understood)。わが国は(Our nation)広範囲にわたる暴力と憎しみのネットワークと( against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred)戦争をしています(is at war)。 Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. 我々の経済は(Our economy)、ひどく弱められています(is badly weakened)。 これは何人かの貪欲と無責任の結果のみならず、(greed and irresponsibility on the part of some)難しい選択をして、次の世代のために国を準備することをしなかつた我々の総体的な怠慢の(but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new ag)結果です(a consequence of)。 Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 家は失われました(Homes have been lost);仕事は減らされ(jobs shed)、ビジネスは店を閉じています( businesses shuttered)。 我々の健康保険は(Our health care)、あまりに高くつきます(is too costly);我々の学校は(our schools)、あまりに多くの人々の期待を裏切りつています(fail too many)、そして(and)、我々がエネルギーを使う方法が(that the ways we use energy)我々の敵を強くして、我々の地球をを脅かすという(strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet)更なる証拠(further evidence)を毎日もたらしています(each day brings further evidence)。 |

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President. There have been good days and tough days. But every day I have been inspired by the greatness of our country, and uplifted by the goodness of our people. 皆さんの大統領として働くことは(to serve as your President)、 生涯の特権でした(It has been the privilege of a lifetime)。 楽しい日と厳しい日がありました(There have been good days and tough days)。 しかし(But)、毎日(every day)、私は我々の偉大さに影響を受けて、わが国民の善良さ(by the goodness of our people)により精神的な高揚させられました(I have been inspired )。 I have been blessed to represent this nation we love.

| Farewell Remarks to the State Department Press Corps Secretary Condoleezza Rice Washington, DC January 16, 2009 ライス国務長官の国務省の記者団にたいする、さよならスピーチ |
全文 | America is not without its ability to make mistakes, like anyone can. But
it also a country that tries to do the right thing -- not always the easy
thing, but the right thing. 米国は、他の国同様に間違いを犯すこともある。しかし、正しいことをしようとする国でもある、いつもいつも簡単ではないが、正しいことをする。 I think it’s a country of great generosity. It is a country that reaches out not just to the powerful, but to the poorest and those who are most in need. 米国は大きな寛大さの国であり、強力な国のみならず、最も困っている最も貧しい人々にも手を差し伸べる国です。 And whether it is in the tremendous work that this country does with refugees or in humanitarian assistance or the foreign assistance that particularly this President has made a hallmark of his presidency, working with children and parents who might have otherwise died of AIDS, and seeing them live in hope, or sometimes using American power to deal with difficult and sometimes controversial issues, I think the United States of America is extraordinary in being a powerful country that has never sought and will never seek empire. そして、難民や人道援助や、または、特にこの大統領の在任期間での海外援助、さもなければエイズで死んだかもしれない子供たちと親と共に活動し、彼らが望みを抱いて生きているのを見、米国の力を使い時々難しくて時々論争の的となる問題を扱つていることがこの国が行った偉大な活動であるかどうか、私は、米国は帝国を求めなかったしこれからも帝国を求めることの無い驚異的な力の有る国だと考えます |

Q In your 2002 State of the Union address, you identified U.S. threats
as an axis of evil -- Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Iraq is relatively calm;
North Korea is no longer on the terrorist threat list. How would you define,
if, in fact, there is an axis of evil? And what is the greatest and most
urgent threat when it comes to security that Barack Obama has to deal with? THE PRESIDENT: The most urgent threat that he'll have to deal with, and
other Presidents after him will have to deal with, is an attack on our
homeland. You know, I wish I could report that's not the case, but there's
still an enemy out there that would like to inflict damage on America --
Americans. And that will be the major threat. North Korea is still a problem. There is a debate in the intel community
about how big a problem they are. But one of my concerns is that there
might be a highly enriched uranium program. And therefore it is really
important that out of the six-party talks comes a strong verification regime.
In other words, in order to advance our relations with North Korea, the
North Korean government must honor the commitments it made to allow for
strong verification measures to be in place, to ensure that they don't
develop a highly enriched uranium program, for example.So they're still
dangerous, and Iran is still dangerous. |

THE PRESIDENT: Today's job data reflects the fact that our economy is in
a recession. This is in large part because of severe problems in our housing,
credit, and financial markets, which have resulted in significant job losses.
I'm concerned about our workers who have lost jobs during this downturn,

音声 | This weekend I am in Lima, Peru, meeting with leaders from nations in the Asia Pacific region at our annual summit. This summit comes at a time of serious turmoil in the global economy. It also comes at a time of unprecedented cooperation. A week ago in Washington, I hosted the first in what will be a series of international meetings to address the financial crisis. We reviewed the actions we have taken to manage the crisis. And we agreed on principles and specific actions to modernize our financial structures for the 21st century and help prevent another crisis. |

Over the past few days, we have witnessed a startling drop in the stock market -- much of it driven by uncertainty and fear. This has been a deeply unsettling period for the American people. Many of our citizens have serious concerns about their retirement accounts, their investments, and their economic well-being. Here's what the American people need to know: that the United States government is acting; we will continue to act to resolve this crisis and restore stability to our markets. We are a prosperous nation with immense resources and a wide range of tools at our disposal. We're using these tools aggressively. |

Q Mr. President, is my bank account safe? THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it is, up to $250,000. We went from $100,000 to $250,000.
That is a very good question. You know, a lot of Americans are hearing
these stories and they're wondering whether or not their money is safe.
And you're insured up to $250,000. We raised it from $100,000 to $250,000.
And it's just essential that the American people know that the FDIC has
never failed on meeting that obligation, and it's darn sure not going to
fail now. |

This week, Congress passed a bipartisan rescue package to address the instability in America's financial system. This was a difficult vote for many members of the House and Senate, but voting for it was the right choice for America's economy and for taxpayers like you.

And I appreciate their willingness to work across party lines in the midst of an election season. |

全文 | We discussed a variety of subjects, starting with... our work together
to make sure the Korean Peninsula, all the Korean Peninsula, is free of
nuclear weapons. I am fully aware of the sensitivity of the issue here
in your country. I am aware that people want to make sure that the abduction
issue is not ignored, and that there are suspicions about whether or not
the North Koreans will be fully forthcoming. I view this process as a multi-step
process that requires strong verification. 我々は、朝鮮半島を非核化する共同作業を始めとして多くのことについて話し合いました。私はこの国が抱えている敏感な問題については確かに認識しています。日本国民が拉致の問題をが無視されないようにと思っていること、さらに北朝鮮が完全に解決しようとするのかどうかについて疑っていることを私は認識しています。私は、このステップを確実な検証を必要とするマルチ・ステップでのプロセスと見ています。 |

We must remember that the desire for freedom burns inside every man and
woman and child. More than two centuries ago, this desire of freedom...
had inspired the subjects of a mighty empire to declare themselves free
and independent citizens of a new nation. Today that same desire for freedom
has inspired 72 immigrants from around the world to become citizens of
the greatest nation on Earth -- the United States of America. I congratulate
you. I welcome you. 自由への要求はすべての人々や子供たちの心の中に燃えていることを覚えておくことが必要です。200年以上も前に、この自由への要求が新しい国の国民の自由と独立の宣言を促しました。この同じ要求が今日、世界中の国からの72人の移民が地球上で最も偉大な国である米国の市民となるよう促しました。皆さんを祝福します。皆さんを歓迎します。 |

Next week I'm going to travel to Japan for the eighth and final G8 summit
of my presidency. At recent summits, G8 countries have made pledges to
help developing nations address challenges, from health care to education,
to corruption. Now we need to show the world that the G8 can be accountable
for its promises and deliver results. As I said the other day, we need
people who not only make promises, but write checks, for the sake of human
rights and human dignity, and for the sake of peace. 来週、8回目で大統領として最後のサミットのために日本を訪問します。 最近のサミットでは、G８の国々は発展途上国が抱えている、医療から教育や腐敗までの問題を解決する手助けをする確約をしました。G8は、その約束と成果に責任があることを世界に示す必要があります。先日私が述べたように、人権、人間の尊厳そして平和のために約束をするだけでなく実行をする人々を必要としています。 |

The policy of the United States is a Korean Peninsula free of all nuclear
weapons. This morning, we moved a step closer to that goal, when North
Korean officials submitted a declaration of their nuclear programs to the
Chinese government as part of the six-party talks. The United States has
no illusions about the regime in Pyongyang. We remain deeply concerned
about North Korea's human rights abuses, uranium enrichment activities,
nuclear testing and proliferation, ballistic missile programs, and the
threat it continues to pose to South Korea and its neighbors. Yet we welcome
today's development as one step in the multi-step process laid out by the
six-party talks between North Korea, China, Japan, Russia, South Korea,
and the United States. 米国の朝鮮半島における政策は、すべての核兵器を無くすことです。北朝鮮の関係者が六カ国協議の一部として中国政府に対し申告を提出したことにより、今朝我々はこのゴールに向かい一歩近づきました。 米国は北朝鮮政権にたいして幻想を抱いていません。我々は、北朝鮮の人権侵害、ウラン濃縮活動、核実験、核拡散、弾道ミサイル計画、韓国やその隣国に及ぼす脅威に関して深く憂慮しています。北朝鮮、中国、日本、ロシア、韓国及び米国の間の6カ国協議により定められた複数の段階からなる活動の一段階として我々は今日の申告を歓迎します。 |

America must maintain its confidence in its ability to lead in this democracy
agenda and in others. In order to do that, the United States has got to
be confident about the development of its own democracy. The United States
has to be confident that its educational system is training its children
and its people to be competitive in a globally competitive world, or we
will turn inward and protectionist. America has to be confident that we
can continue to welcome people of all backgrounds, of all faiths, of all
colors, or we will turn inward. And if America turns inward, it will be
less innovative, less creative, and it will not lead. That, it seems to me, is perhaps the highest national security priority among many, is to establish firmly, once and for all, that the United States of America is confident in itself, confident in its capabilities, and, most importantly, confident in the extraordinary power of its values. 米国は、この民主主義上の課題や他の面でリードする能力に対する自信を維持しなければなりません。そうするために、アメリカ合衆国は自身の 民主主義の発展を確信していなければなりません。アメリカ合衆国はその教育制度が米国の子供たちと国民をグローバルに競争的な世界で競争心旺盛な ようになるように訓練していると確信していなければなりません、さもなくば、我々は内向し保護貿易主義者になります。米国は我々がすべての皮膚の 色、すべてのバックグラウンド、すべての信仰のを歓迎し続けることができると確信していなければなりません、さもなくば、我々は内向します。そし て、米国が内向するならば、それはより革新的でなくて、より創造的でありません、そして、それではリードできません。 おそらく、米国が米国自体に自信があって、その能力に自信があって、最も重要なことにはその価値の並外れた力に自信があると今回限りにしっ かりと確認することが多くの間の優先事項の中で最も高い国家安全上の優先事項であると、私には思われます。 |

In the short run, the American economy will continue to rely largely on
oil. And that means we need to increase supply, especially here at home.
So my administration has repeatedly called on Congress to expand domestic
oil production. Unfortunately, Democrats on Capitol Hill have rejected
virtually every proposal -- and now Americans are paying the price at the
pump for this obstruction. Congress must face a hard reality: Unless Members
are willing to accept gas prices at today's painful levels -- or even higher
-- our nation must produce more oil. And we must start now. So this morning,
I ask Democratic Congressional leaders to move forward with four steps

Unfortunately, Democrats on Capitol Hill have rejected virtually every proposal -- and now Americans are paying the price at the pump for this obstruction. それで(So)、私の政権は(my administration)、議会に国内の石油生産を拡大するように繰り返し要請しました(has repeatedly called)。残念なことに(Unfortunately)、議会の民主党は(Democrats on Capitol Hill)実質的にあらゆる提案を拒絶しました(have rejected virtually every proposal)。 −そして、現在(and now)、アメリカ人はガソリンスタンドでこの拒絶のための給油価格を払っています(Americans are paying the price at the pump for this obstruction)。 Congress must face a hard reality: Unless Members are willing to accept gas prices at today's painful levels -- or even higher ? our nation must produce more oil. And we must start now. So this morning, I ask Democratic Congressional leaders to move forward with four steps to expand American oil and gasoline production 議会は(Congress)、難しい現実に直面しなければなりません(must face a hard reality)：議員たち(Members)が今日の痛みを伴うレベルでガソ リン価格 ― またはさらにより高い価格(or even higher) ―を受けいれる(are willing to accept)気がない 限り(Unless)、我が国はより多くの石油を生 産しなければなりません(our nation must produce more oil)。 そして、我々は今行動しなければなりません(And we must start now)。それで(So)、今朝(this morning)、私は民主党の議会のリーダーたちに (Democratic Congressional leaders)米国の石油とガソリン生産を拡大するために4つのステップで(with four steps)前進するよう (to move forward )要請します(I ask)。 |

fractured and ineffective than ever. 今まで何年にもわたり、イラクが立ち上がれば、わが軍は引き上げると我々は聞かされてきました。来年になれば、撤退すると毎年聞かされてき ました。大統領が増派をしそしてイラク政府が今まで無かったようにさらに弱体化し機能していない一方で、我々は同じ事を聞かされています。。 Well, the right strategy before the surge and post-escalation is the same: start bringing home America's troops now. 増派の前と大統領選挙の後の正しい政策は同じです。それは、米軍を今撤退させることです。 |

The military achievements in Iraq have been accompanied by a political
transformation. It can feel like distant history, but it was only five
years ago that Iraq was one of the most brutal dictatorships on Earth --
a totalitarian nightmare where any election was a sham, and dissenters
often found themselves buried in mass graves. In a matter of 15 months,
the Iraqi people reclaimed their sovereignty. They went on to choose an
interim government, and to ratify the most democratic constitution in the
Arab world. And in December 2005, 12 million Iraqis elected a government
under that constitution -- a display of courage that defied the terrorists,
disproved the critics, and should always inspire the world. |

Wednesday, March 12, 2008 米ニューヨーク州のエリオット・スピッツァー知事が買春容疑で知事を辞任することを自ら発表。 辞任のスピーチ |
音声 | In the past few days I have begun to atone for my private failings with
my wife, Silda, my children, and my entire family. The remorse I feel will
always be with me. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the love
and compassion they have shown me. From those to whom much is given, much
is expected. I have been given much: the love of my family, the faith and
trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. I am
deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me. To every
New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for,
I sincerely apologize. I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been, but I also know that as a public servant I, and the remarkable people with whom I worked, have accomplished a great deal. There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work. Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor. At Lt. Gov. Paterson’s request, the resignation will be effective Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition. I go forward with the belief, as others have said, that as human beings, our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. As I leave public life, I will first do what I need to do to help and heal myself and my family. Then I will try once again, outside of politics, to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity for us and for our children. I hope all of New York will join my prayers for my friend, David Paterson, as he embarks on his new mission, and I thank the public once again for the privilege of service. |

The fact that we have not been attacked over the past six-and-a-half years

We have no higher responsibility than stopping terrorist attacks. And this

Mr. President, the United States welcomes the adoption of resolution 1803.Iran's violations of Security Council resolutions not only continue, but are deepening. And instead of suspending its enrichment and reprocessing activities as required by the Council, Iran chose to expand dramatically its number of operating centrifuges and to develop a new generation of centrifuges, testing one of them with nuclear fuel. Iran continues to construct its heavy water research reactor at Arak, a potential source of weapons-useable plutonium. 米国は、国連決議１８０３の採択を歓迎する。イランの国連決議違反 が 継続しているのみならず、深刻化している。 安保理事会で要求されたウラン濃縮と再処理を停止しないで、イランは大々的に活動している遠心分離処理の数を拡大しており、核燃料で試験を している。イランは、Arakにおいて、核兵器の基になり、プルトニュウムが使用可能な研究用の重水炉の建設を続けている。 |
| February 28, 2008 Press Conference of the President ブッシュ大統領の記者会見 オバマ上院議員のアルカイダに関しての認識があまいことを指摘 民主党は、イラクからの撤退を言っているが共和党は、撤退に反対している |
ビデオ 全文 |
Q Mr. President, do you believe if we have the kind of rapid pull-out from
Iraq that Democrats are talking about, that we would be at greater risk
of a terrorist attack here at home? And when Senator Obama was asked a
similar question, he said, "If al Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq,
then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and
our interests abroad." So I'm wondering if -- 質問： 大統領、民主党が言っているようなイラクからの急速な撤退は、米国本土へのテロ攻撃の大きなリスクとお考えですか？オバマ上院議員が同じ質 問をされた時に、オバマ上院議員は、「もしもアルカイダがイラクで拠点を築いているのなら、米国本土と米国の海外での権益を守るように我々は行動 しなければならない」と述べました。 そこで私は疑問に感じています。。。。 THE PRESIDENT: That's an interesting comment. If al Qaeda is securing a al Qaeda base -- yes, well, that's exactly what they've been trying to do for the past four years. That's their stated intention, was to create enough chaos and disorder to establish a base from which to either launch attacks or spread a caliphate. And the intent of the surge was to send more Marines into the area that -- where they had proclaimed their desire to set up a base. That was Anbar province. And so, yes, that's one of the challenges we face, is denying al Qaeda a safe haven anywhere. And their intentions -- that's what they said, that they would like to have a base or safe haven in Anbar province. 大統領： これは興味深いコメントです。もしもアルカイダがアルカイダの基地を確保しようとしているのなら---これはアルカイダが過去４年間にわたり し ようとしている事です。これは彼らの定まった意図です。それは、攻撃をしかけたり管理区域を広げたりするための基地を構築するために十分な混 沌と 混乱とを引き起こすことです。増派の意図は、アルカイダが基地を構築したいと宣言した地域に更に多くの海兵隊を送り込むことです。この地域 はアン バル州です。そして、アルカイダにいかなる地域においても聖域を与えないこと、これが我々が直面している難題です。彼らの意図は--これは 彼らが述 べたことですが、アンバル州に基地や安全な聖域を持つことです。 |

in developing its democratic institutions and beginning to provide for
its people, in providing through the international community roads which
this country essentially did not have....And I see that that progress continues.
Could we all expect that the security situation would still be difficult?
Yes, because Afghanistan has determined enemies who, as I said, laid waste
to this country over a period of more than a decade....So of course, it's
going to be difficult to rebuild the institutions like the security institutions. ３年前に私が新任の国務長官としてここを訪問したとき、アフガニスタンの民主国家形成と、以前にはアフガニスタンには無かったが国民には必 須である道程を国際社会を通じて国民に提供する成果のすばらしい進展について話しました。この進展が続いていると私には見えます。我々は治安状況 は困難と予想できますか？できます、なぜならアフガニスタンには確信的な敵が有り私が述べたように、この敵は数十年にわたりこの国を崩壊さ せてき ました。ですから、治安の良い国家を再建するのは難しくなりそうです。 |

Like any nation, we have made mistakes throughout our history, and we are going to make them again. But our confidence in our principles, and our impatience with the pace of change, is also a source of our greatest successes ? and this will ensure that the United States remains a strong, confident, and capable global leader in the 21st century. Yes, our ideals and our optimism make Americans impatient, but our history, our experience, should make us patient at the same time. We, of all people, realize how long and difficult the path of democracy really is. After all, when our Founding Fathers said “We the People,” they did not mean me. It took the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, to overcome the compromise in our Constitution that made the founding of the United States of America possible, but that made my ancestors three-fifths of a man. So we Americans have no reason for false pride and every reason for humility. And we believe that human imperfection makes democracy more important, and all who are striving for it more deserving of patience and support. History provides so many affirming examples of this. After all, who would have thought that Japan would be a pillar of democratic stability in Asia? Once, that seemed impossible. Now, it seems inevitable. Who would have thought that Germany and France would never go to war again and would instead join in union? Once, that too seemed impossible. Now, it too seems inevitable. And who would have thought that NATO and the European Union would erase old divisions of East and West, that they would unite democratic nations across Europe, and that the Alliance would hold its 2006 Summit in Latvia?

As Congress considers such a plan, there are certain principles that should
guide their deliberations: This growth package must be big enough to make
a difference in an economy as large and dynamic as ours -- which means
it should be about one percent of GDP. This growth package must be built
on broad-based tax relief that will directly affect economic growth --
not the kind of spending projects that would have little immediate impact
on our economy. This growth package must be temporary and take effect right
away -- so we can get help to our economy when it is needed most. And this
growth package must not include any tax increases. １.景気に影響を与えるGDPの約１％ほどの大型であるべ き ２.広範な減税政策に基づいたものであるべき ３.一時的な対策であり直ちに実行されるべき ４.いかなる増税も含むべきでない |

Passing a new growth package is our most pressing economic priority. When
that is done, Congress must turn to the most important economic priority

Unless Congress acts, the American people will face massive tax increases in less than three years. The marriage penalty will make a comeback; the child tax credit will be cut in half; the death tax will come back to life; and tax rates will go up on regular income, capital gains, and dividends. 我々の経済の不安定の要因は(A source of uncertainty in our economy)、この減税が2010年の末に終了(this tax relief is set to expire at the end of 2010)することが原因です。 議会が行動しない限り(Unless Congress acts)、米国民は3年以内に大きな増税に直面します(the American people will face massive tax increases in less than three years)。 結婚税は復帰し(The marriage penalty will make a comeback)、幼児税額控除は半減します(the child tax credit will be cut in half)。 遺産税が復活し(the death tax will come back to life)、そして、定期収入(regular income)、キャピタルゲイン(capital gains)、配当(dividends)への税率は上がります(and tax rates will go up)。 This tax increase would put jobs and economic growth at risk, and Congress has a responsibility to keep that from happening.

It is in the long-term security interests of Israel. And it is in the interests
of a world at war with terrorists and extremists trying to impose their
brutal vision on the Middle East. By helping the Israeli and Palestinian
people lay the foundation for lasting peace, we will help build a more
hopeful future for the Holy Land -- and a safer world for the American
people. 民主パレスチナ国家は(A democratic Palestinian state)、パレスチナ人のためのものです(is in the interests of the Palestinians)。それは(It is)、イスラエルの長期的な治安のためのものです(in the long-term security interests of Israel)。 そして、それは(And it is)彼らの残忍な野望を中東に押しつけようとしている(trying to impose their brutal vision on the Middle East)テロリストと過激派と戦っている(at war with terrorists and extremists)世界のためのものです(in the interests of a world )。 イスラエルとパレスチナの人々が永続する平和の基礎を築くのを手助けすることによって(By helping the Israeli and Palestinian people lay the foundation for lasting peace)、我々は聖地のためにより希望に満ちた将来(a more hopeful future for the Holy Land)?そして、米国民のためのより安全な世界(and a safer world for the American people)を造るのを手助けします(we will help build)。 |

At its core, the battle unfolding in the Middle East is more than a clash
of arms.It is an ideological struggle. On one side are the forces of terror

Bhutto, Condemn Violence Prairie Chapel Ranch Crawford, Texas December 27, 2007 ブッシュ米大統領は12月２７日、パキスタンのブット元首相が暗殺されたことについて「卑劣な行為を強く非難する」との声明を発表した。 |

THE PRESIDENT: Laura and I extend our deepest condolences to the family
of Benazir Bhutto, to her friends, to her supporters. We send our condolences
to the families of the others who were killed in today's violence. And
we send our condolences to all the people of Pakistan on this tragic occasion.
The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous extremists who are trying to undermine Pakistan's democracy. Those who committed this crime must be brought to justice. Mrs. Bhutto served her nation twice as Prime Minister and she knew that her return to Pakistan earlier this year put her life at risk. Yet she refused to allow assassins to dictate the course of her country. パキスタンの民主主義を踏みにじろうとする過激派によって行われた今回の卑劣な行為を、米国は強く非難する。犯罪にかかわった者は裁きを受 けねばならない。 帰国すれば身の危険にさらされると知っていたが、暗殺者が国の歩むべき道を決定することを拒否した We stand with the people of Pakistan in their struggle against the forces of terror and extremism. We urge them to honor Benazir Bhutto's memory by continuing with the democratic process for which she so bravely gave her life. |

In the Taiwan Strait, for example, the United States remains committed
to peace and security. We oppose any threat to use force and any unilateral
move by either side to change the status quo. We have a One China policy
and we do not support independence for Taiwan.As we have stated in recent
months, we think that Taiwan's referendum to apply to the United Nations
under the name "Taiwan" is a provocativepolicy. It unnecessarily
raises tensions in the Taiwan Strait and it promises no real benefits for
the people of Taiwan on the international stage. That is why we oppose
this referendum. 国連に「台湾」の国の名前で加入するための国民投票に米国は反対する。国民投票は台湾海峡の緊張を高めることになる。 |

In the past few days we have stopped a tax increase on the middle-class
families, we improved our energy security, we delivered relief to struggling
homeowners, and we funded our troops. I want to thank the members of both
parties for their hard work in these areas. I'm pleased that we have been
able to end this year on a high note by moving beyond our differences and
achieving important results for the American people. ここ数日間は、わが国が誇りに感じる期間だったと私は思います。この数日間で中流階級の増税を止め、エネルギーの危機を改善し、支払いが問 題となつている住宅ローンの救済策を可決し、戦費を可決しました。 これらの件に関して、両党の議員の皆様のご苦労に感謝いたします。意見の違いを乗り越えて米国民のために重要な成果を残して本年を終えるこ とができることについて私はうれしく感じています。 |

Congress has had plenty of time to consider the emergency funds our troops
need. Time is running out. And Pentagon officials say that continued delay
in funding our troops will soon begin to have a damaging impact on the
operations of our military. Congress' responsibility is clear: They must
deliver vital funds for our troops -- and they must do it before they leave
for Christmas. Our men and women on the front lines will be spending this
holiday season far from their families and loved ones. And this Christmas,
they deserve more than words from Congress. They deserve action. 議会には我々の軍隊が必要とする緊急資金を考慮する多くの時間がありました。時間が尽きようとしています。 そして、国防総省当局者は我々の軍隊への資金提供の遅れが続けば、ただちにに我々の軍隊の活動に有害な影響を及ぼし始めると述べています。 議会の責任は明白です：議会は我々の軍隊の不可欠な資金を提供しなければなりません−そして、議会がクリスマス休暇に入る前に、議会はそれ をしなければなりません。 最前線にいる我々の兵士は、彼らの家族や愛する人たちと遠く離れた地でクリスマス休暇を過ごそうとしています。そして、このクリスマスに、 彼らは議会が行動を起こすに値する人々です。 |

And the second part of your question has to do with this. Look, Iran was
dangerous, Iran is dangerous, and Iran will be dangerous if they have the
knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. The NIE says that Iran had
a hidden -- a covert nuclear weapons program. そして、あなたの二番目の質問に関してですが、いいですか、イランは危険でした、イランは危険です、そして、もしイランに核兵器を製造する のに必要な知識があるならば、イランは危険です。NIEは、イランは隠れた核兵器計画を持っていると言っています。 That's what it said. What's to say they couldn't start another covert nuclear weapons program? And the best way to ensure that the world is peaceful in the future is for the international community to continue to work together to say to the Iranians, we're going to isolate you. それは、NIEが言ったものです。イランがもう一つの隠れた核兵器計画を始めることができなかったと言うことになっていますか？ そして、世界が将来平和であることを確実とする最良の方法は、我々はあなたたちを孤立させるつもりですと国際社会が一致してイランに対して 言うことです。 |

We also mark this day with hope -- for the improving prospects of those living with the virus, for the unprecedented number of infections being prevented, and for new progress toward eradicating this disease. Above all, we rededicate ourselves to a great purpose: We will turn the tide against HIV/AIDS -- once and for all. |

We've come together this week because we share a common goal: two democratic states -- Israel and Palestine -- living side by side in peace and security. Achieving this goal requires difficult compromises -- and the Israelis and Palestinians have elected leaders committed to making them. Achieving this goal requires neighbors committed to peace between Israel and a new Palestinian state -- and I'm encouraged by the presence of so many here. Achieving this goal requires the commitment of the international community, including the United States. Tonight I restate my personal commitment on behalf of the United States to all those in the Middle East who wish to live in freedom and peace: We stand with you, at the Annapolis Conference and beyond. |
