Tuesday, August 21, 2007 During the second day of the North American Leaders' Summit, President Bush met with the North American Competitiveness Council. He later participated in the North American Leaders' Meeting and participated in a Joint Press Availability with the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico.

President Bush also received a briefing on the Interstate 35-W bridge damage as well as the Minnesota floods.

"It's our people's interests that Canada and Mexico work closely together. In other words, there's a good reason why our leaders should come together on a regular basis. First reason why is to figure out ways to continue to enhance prosperity. It's in our interests that the Canadian lifestyle be as strong as it is, and it's in our interests that prosperity spread to Mexico. If you're a U.S. citizen, you want people that live close to you to be prosperous. The more prosperity there is in your neighborhood, the more hopeful your neighborhood is."

Wednesday, August 22, 2007 President Bush made remarks at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. The President talked about the challenges we face in Iraq against the historic background of our successes in Asia. He described how America's presence and perseverance in Asia led to a freer, more stable, and more prosperous continent, transforming American enemies into American allies and making the world safer for our citizens. As we face challenges in Iraq today, we do so knowing we have done this kind of transformative work before and the benefits to America made the sacrifices worthwhile.

"The greatest weapon in the arsenal of democracy is the desire for liberty written into the human heart by our Creator. So long as we remain true to our ideals, we will defeat the extremists in Iraq and Afghanistan. We will help those countries' peoples stand up functioning democracies in the heart of the broader Middle East. And when that hard work is done and the critics of today recede from memory, the cause of freedom will be stronger, a vital region will be brighter, and the American people will be safer."
