God Of War 3 Pc Cd Key Txt

From Santa Monica Studio comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018). Embark on an epic and heartfelt journey as Kratos and Atreus struggle with holding on and letting go in God of War Ragnarök.

From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest.

"From a story perspective, Atreus is the humanity that Kratos lost. He's helping Kratos understand what it was like to be a human and Kratos is trying to help the kid understand what it means to be a god. The kid has no idea about any of that stuff. They're both sort of teaching each other a little bit and kind of helping each other hobble through a very difficult emotional journey."

Fights in God of War mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty, and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of God of War while presenting a vision of violent conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

"Right away the magic of throwing the axe, having it stick anywhere in the world, and then recalling it, and then kind of playing around with that, and realizing you can hit people with it, you can throw it behind them, move in front of them, recall it and hit him in the back."

From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods.

"In the Viking era, they always talked about, 'The gods have abandoned us.' Thor and Loki and Odin all walked the Earth at one point, but they're not around anymore. [The vikings] fight for them, but they're not there. This idea that we're at is saying, we're at a prehistory point, where gods did walk the Earth, when monsters were real before they became extinct."

Our conversation revolved around folk music, mythology, Nordic ethnic instruments, vocal writing, and classical thematic development. "Wait a minute." I asked. "Is this... a new God of War?!" Their facial expressions told me everything I needed to know. And with that, I realized I was tumbling headfirst into a daunting and challenging dream project."

Armed with lethal double chain blades, Kratos must carve through mythology's darkest creatures - including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Fate, however, has a different plan for Kratos as he learns the truth about a heart-wrenching betrayal that will change him forever.

The sequel to the original God of War, in God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne as the new God of War, far more ruthless than Ares ever was. Shunned by the other gods for his brutality and haunted by memories of his past, Kratos is struck down by Zeus for refusing to swear loyalty.

In God of War: Chains of Olympus, the world is plunged into darkness and the gods rendered powerless. As penance for killing those closest to him, Kratos is tasked by Athena to restore Olympus and embarks on a journey that pits him against the most feared creatures of Greek mythology. At the end of his path, Kratos must choose between his own personal redemption or saving the world from certain destruction.

Facing impossible odds and an elaborate plot, Kratos must rise from the darkest depths of Hades to scale the heights of Mt. Olympus. Armed with double-chained blades and a new array of weapons and magic, Kratos faces off against fearsome monsters of myth and gargantuan Titans on his path to bring down Zeus, King of the Gods.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta is set after the events of the original PlayStation 2 game, revealing the previously unknown struggles and history of Kratos as he challenges the deities of Olympus, eventually taking the status and title of god for himself.

As punishment for breaking this oath, Kratos is sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned while enduring endless torture by the Furies who want to break his mind. Kratos will have to battle his way through the prison as he seeks his freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family.

From Santa Monica Studio and creative director Cory Barlog comes a new beginning for God of War. Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest.

From Santa Monica Studio comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018). Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as they prepare for the prophesied battle that will end the world.

Depending on the difficulty setting, the average player can expect to take around 20-25 hours total to complete the main story. Players seeking a completionist run can expect around 40-50 hours of gameplay total. Players should enjoy the game at their own pace regardless of the time listed above.

Taking a step back from Greek mythology, and diving into an unforgiving world with Norse mythology was a step in the right direction. Discover a very dangerous world and spread the ashes of your wife on the highest peak in all of the realms!

New world means new creatures but also new abilities, new main weapon, and even more vengeance. Deal with monsters in physical combat, cherish the story, and help your son Atreus understand that you always loved him unconditionally!

Furthermore, Bear McCreary, known for such hits as The Walking Dead or Battlestar Gallactica, was really on top of his form when creating music for God of War! The sounds are realistic and sharp, while the music enhances the total gaming experience.

Thank you all verymuch for coming. By the sound of things, it sounds like the Herd isthundering. (Applause.) It's good to be back here in Huntington.Thank you all for the hospitality. You know, this isn't my first timehere. (Applause.) I've liked it every time I've come. (Applause.)Because the people are down to earth, hardworking, decent, and theylove America just like I do. (Applause.) I want to thank our friends from Ohio who have joined us today. Iappreciate you coming. (Applause.) I want to thank our friends fromKentucky who are here today. (Applause.) And of course, I want tothank my friends from West Virginia who are here. Thank you all forcoming. (Applause.) I told Zell we're going to have a heck of a day. He's helping tokick it off in fine fashion. You know, Zell Miller, he represents alot of folks out there who are wondering whether or not it's okay tovote Republican. He's what I would call a discerning Democrat.(Applause.) More importantly, he is a proud American, and I'm proud tocall Zell Miller friend. (Applause.) I'm here to ask for the vote. (Applause.) I'm here to let youknow that I'm willing to get amongst the people and say, I need yourvote and I need your help to win this election. (Applause.) You see,we have a duty in this country to vote, and I would hope you would goout and register your friends and neighbors. Remind them we have aduty. Register our fellow Republicans, register independents, registerdiscerning Democrats. (Applause.) Then after you register them, getthem headed to the polls. And when you get them headed to the polls,remind them, if they want a safer America, a stronger America, and abetter America, put Dick Cheney and me back in there for four moreyears. (Applause.) AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Zell said -- we got on the busafter flying up from Washington, and he said, I wish you'd have broughtLaura. (Applause.) He's got really good judgment. (Laughter.) Youknow, when I asked Laura to marry me, she said, fine, I'll be -- I'mwilling to marry you, just so long as I never have to give a politicalspeech. (Laughter.) She was a public school librarian who didn'tparticularly care about politics or politicians. I said, that's fine,you'll never have to give a speech. And we got married. Fortunately,she didn't hold me to that promise. (Laughter.) She is a -- thecountry saw, in New York City, she not only gives a good speech, butshe's gracious and strong, she's comforting. I love her dearly.(Applause.) Perhaps the most important reason of all in putting meback in office is so that Laura will have four more years as your FirstLady. (Applause.) I appreciate Congresswoman Shelly Moore Capito, from the greatstate of West Virginia, joining us today. (Applause.) Shelly Moore isa fine, fine member of the United States Congress. She's a class act.I also appreciate today traveling with Senator Mike DeWine from thestate of Ohio. I appreciate you coming, Mike. (Applause.) He, too,is a fine United States Senator, and I'm proud his son, Patrick, isjoining us today, as well. I want to thank all the state and local officials here. I want tothank all the candidates for throwing your hat in the ring. Iappreciate the Wil Gravatt Band. I want to thank the Parkersburg BaseArmy Reserve Charlie Company, the 463rd Engineering Battalion. Thankyou all for coming. (Applause.) Most of all, thank you all for taking Friday out of your life tocome. I appreciate you being here -- (applause) -- for taking thisFriday to come here. I appreciate it. It means a lot to me. I knowit means a lot to Zell. See, I'm looking forward to this campaign.I'm going to tell the people where I stand and what I believe and whereI'll lead this country. (Applause.) I believe every child can learn, and expect every school to teach.(Applause.) I went to Washington to challenge the soft bigotry of lowexpectations. I believe we ought to raise standards. I believe weought to measure early to solve problems before it's too late. Ibelieve we got to stop this practice of just shuffling kids through ourschools year after year, grade after grade without learning thebasics. (Applause.) I believe we got to trust the local people tomake the right decisions for their schools. I know we're closing theachievement gap in America, and we're not turning back. (Applause.) I believe we have a moral responsibility to honor our seniors withgood health care. (Applause.) Medicare is an incredibly importantprogram for our seniors, but it wasn't modernizing. People say, whatdo you mean when you say that? Well, Medicare would pay thousands andthousands and thousands of dollars for heart surgery, but it would notpay for the prescription drugs to prevent the heart surgery from beingneeded. That didn't make any sense for our seniors, it didn't make anysense for our taxpayers. I went to Washington, D.C. to solveproblems. We have now modernized Medicare to help our seniors.Beginning in 2006, seniors will get prescription drug coverage, andwe're not turning back. (Applause.) I believe in the energy, innovation and spirit of America'sworkers, small business owners, farmers and ranchers. And that's whywe unleashed that energy with the largest tax relief in a generation.(Applause.) When you're out rounding up the vote, remind people about what thiseconomy has been through. Five months before we got into office thestock market had started to decline. We had a recession right as wegot there. There was corporate scandals. By the way, we made it clearwe're not going to tolerate dishonesty in the boardrooms of America.(Applause.) We had a terrorist attack on our country. All those wereobstacles for our American workers. See, we're overcoming theseobstacles. We're overcoming these obstacles because we got greatworkers, great farmers. We're overcoming it because theentrepreneurial spirit is strong. We're overcoming it because ofwell-time tax relief. (Applause.) Our economy is growing at rates as fast as any in nearly 20 years.We've added about 1.7 million new jobs in the past year. We've added107,000 manufacturing jobs since January. The national unemploymentrate is 5.4 percent. (Applause.) That's lower than the average rateof the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s. (Applause.) The unemploymentrate in West Virginia is 5.2 percent. The economic stimulus plan wepassed is working. (Applause.) I believe the most solemn duty of the American President is toprotect the American people. (Applause.) If America shows uncertaintyand weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. Thisisn't going to happen on my watch. (Applause.) I'm running forPresident with a clear and positive plan to build a safer world and amore hopeful America. I'm running with a compassionate conservativephilosophy that government should help people improve their lives, nottry to run their lives. (Applause.) I believe this nation wantssteady, consistent, principled leadership, and that is why, with yourhelp, we will carry West Virginia again, we'll carry Ohio again, we'llcarry Kentucky again, and we'll win in November. (Applause.) Because I understand the world we're living in is changing. Thegeneration of our dads and grandads, a person generally had one job,one career, worked for one company that provided health care and apension. Today it's different. The work force has changed. Most ofthose workers in the past were men; today many, many workers arewomen. They're working inside the home and outside the home.(Applause.) Many people change jobs and careers several times over thecourse of a lifetime. Yet many of the fundamental systems -- the taxcode, health coverage, pension plans, worker training -- were createdfor the world of yesterday, not tomorrow. And so, for the next fouryears, we'll transform the systems to help our citizens. We'lltransform these systems so all citizens are equipped, prepared, andthus, truly free to make your own choices so you can realize the greatpromise of America. (Applause.) Any hopeful society has a growing economy, and I have a plan tokeep this economy moving forward. To create more jobs in America,America must be the best place in the world to do business.(Applause.) That means we've got to reduce the regulations on ourbusinesses, particularly small businesses. (Applause.) It means wegot to stop these junk lawsuits that are threatening employers allacross the country. (Applause.) It means Congress needs to get myenergy policy to my desk. Yes, in order to create jobs here inAmerica, we need sound energy policy. That means more conservation,that means supporting renewables, and that means using coal, clean coaltechnology to make sure people can find work. (Applause.) The plan I submitted will modernize the electricity grid sohospitals and offices can keep focus on hiring workers, not coping withblackouts. What I'm telling you is, we need an energy policy thatmakes us less dependent on foreign sources of energy. (Applause.) Listen, to create jobs, we've got to reject economic isolationismand open up markets for U.S. products. See, we open up our markets forforeign goods, and that's good for you. It's good for you because themore products you can choose from, you're likely to get the product youwant at higher quality and better price. That's how the market works.So what I'm telling places like China is, you treat us the way we treatyou. (Applause.) See, the best policy is to level the playing field,because Americans can compete with anybody, anytime, anywhere so longas the rules are fair. (Applause.) To make sure jobs are here in America, to make sure people can findwork, we've got to be wise about how we spend your money and keep yourtaxes low. (Applause.) Taxes are an issue in this campaign. See, I'mrunning against a fellow who has already promised over $2 trillion ofnew money, new federal programs, so far. AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: We've got -- there's going to be a lot oftemptations coming down the pike to tell everybody everywhere what theywant to hear. That means -- that generally means spending your money.But the problem is, he hasn't told us how he's going to spend -- payfor it. See, he said, oh, don't worry, we'll pay for it by taxing therich. Two things wrong with that. One is, you can't raise enoughmoney by taxing the rich to pay for $2 trillion worth of new programs.See, there's a gap between his promise and what he can deliver, andguess who's going to get stuck with the bill? Secondly, you've heardthat rhetoric before, haven't you? Oh, don't worry, we'll just tax therich. Well, the rich hire accountants and lawyers, and you get stuckwith the bill. We're not going to let him tax you. We're going to wina great victory in November. (Applause.) And speaking about the tax code, we're going to do something aboutour tax code in a second term. We're going to make it easier tounderstand and we're going to simplify it. This tax code of ours istoo complicated. It is filled with special interest loopholes.Americans spend about six billion hours a year on taxes because of thecomplicated nature of the tax code. The tax code is a drag on oureconomy. In a new term, I'll bring Republicans and Democrats togetherto simplify the federal tax code. (Applause.) Listen, this world of ours is changing, and the nature of the jobsare changing. And we've got to help workers gain the skills necessaryso they can fill the jobs of the 21st century. That's why I'm such abig believer in improving access to the community colleges all acrossour country. I remember coming to the community college here inHuntington, West Virginia. We talked about job training. We talkedabout people having the skills necessary to fill the jobs which arebeing created. And we got to do a better job in our high schools. Doyou realize that about -- most of the new jobs, over 50 percent of thenew jobs require at least two years of college, and yet, one in four ofour students gets there? That's why we've got to fund early intervention programs in highschools to help students who are at risk. We want to place a new focuson math and science in our high schools. We want to require a rigorousexam -- over time, require a rigorous exam before graduation. See, byraising performance in high schools, and by expanding Pell grants forlow- and middle-income families, we will help more Americans starttheir career with a college diploma. (Applause.) We'll do more to make quality health care available andaffordable. More than one-half of the uninsured are small businessemployees and their families. Small businesses are having troubleaffording health care. One way to help small businesses afford healthcare, and therefore, help families, is to allow them to join togetherto purchase insurance at the discounts big companies get. (Applause.)We'll help more people own and manage their own health care plans.We'll expand health savings accounts. We'll ensure every poor countyin America has a community or rural health center so people can get theprimary care they need. And we're going to do something about thesejunk lawsuits that are running good docs out of practice and running upyour costs. (Applause.) One reason small businesses are having trouble affording healthcare is because these lawsuits are running up the cost of medicine.Make no mistake about it; junk lawsuits are running up your costs. Andmake no mistake about it; too many good docs are being run out ofpractice. And that's harmful. It's harmful for the folks in Ohio,West Virginia, Kentucky, and all across America. You cannot bepro-doctor, pro-patient, pro-hospital and pro-trial lawyer at the sametime. (Applause.) You have to choose. My opponent made his choice,and he put him on the ticket. AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: I made my choice -- I'm for medical liabilityreform now. (Applause.) In all we do to improve health care inAmerica, we will make sure that health decisions are made by doctorsand patients, not by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. (Applause.) In a changing world, ownership brings stability to people 'slives. One of the most hopeful statistics in recent times is the factthat home ownership rates are at an all-time high in America. More andmore people are owning their home. In a new term, we'll continue toexpand ownership all across this country. We want more and more peopleopening the door of the place where they live and saying, welcome to myhome, welcome to my piece of property. (Applause.) And we want to make sure our younger workers have got a SocialSecurity system that's viable. Now, let me say, if you're an olderworker or you're dependent now on Social Security, you're going to bejust fine. If you're a baby boomer, you'll be just fine when it comesto Social Security as it's now structured. But I think we need tothink about our children and our grandchildren when it comes to SocialSecurity. (Applause.) It's one thing for people like Zell and me tosay it's going to be fine for us; we have an obligation to see thatit's fine for younger folks. And so, therefore, I think youngerworkers who are coming up ought to have the right to take some of theirown tax money and put it in an account they can call their own, apersonal savings account that will help them with Social Security.(Applause.) In a world of change some things don't change, the values we try tolive by -- courage and compassion, reverence and integrity. In a timeof change we'll support the institutions that give our lives directionand purpose -- our families, our schools, our religious congregations.(Applause.) We believe -- we stand for a culture of life in whichevery person matters and every being counts. (Applause.) We stand formarriage and family, which are the foundations of society. (Applause.)We stand for the Second Amendment which gives every American theindividual right to bear arms. (Applause.) And I stand for theappointment of federal judges who know the difference between personalopinion and the strict interpretation of the law. (Applause.) This election will also determine how America responds to thecontinuing danger of terrorism. Since the terrible morning ofSeptember the 11th, 2001, we have fought the terrorists across theEarth -- not for pride, not for power, but because the lives of ourcitizens are at stake. (Applause.) Our strategy is clear: We'redefending the homeland, we're transforming our military, we'restrengthening our intelligence services. We're staying on theoffensive. We're striking the terrorists abroad so we do not have toface them here at home. (Applause.) We will work -- we will continueour work to advance freedom in the broader Middle East and around theworld, and we will prevail. (Applause.) Our strategy is succeeding. Four years ago, four short years ago,Afghanistan was the home base of al Qaeda; Pakistan was a transit pointfor terrorist groups; Saudi Arabia was fertile ground for terroristfundraising; Libya was seriously pursuing nuclear weapons; Iraq was agathering threat; and al Qaeda was largely unchallenged as it plannedattacks. Because we acted, the government of a free Afghanistan isfighting terror; Pakistan is capturing terrorists; Saudi Arabia ismaking raids and arrests; Libya is dismantling its weapons programs --(applause.) The army of a free Iraq is fighting for freedom, and morethan three-quarters of al Qaeda's key members and associates have beenbrought to justice. (Applause.) We have led, many have joined, andAmerica and the world are safer. (Applause.) The progress involved careful diplomacy, clear moral purpose, andsome tough decisions. The toughest came on Iraq. We knew SaddamHussein's record of aggression and support for terror. We knew he hada long history of pursuing and even using weapons of mass destruction.And we know that after September the 11th, our country must thinkdifferently. We must take the threats seriously before they fullymaterialize. (Applause.) In Saddam Hussein, we saw a threat. I went to the United StatesCongress. Members of both Houses and both political parties looked atthe same intelligence I looked at. They remembered the same history Iremembered. They came to the same conclusion that my administrationcame to, Saddam Hussein was a threat, and they authorized the use offorce. (Applause.) My opponent -- my opponent looked at the very sameintelligence I looked at. And he came to the same conclusion then thatwe had come to, that Saddam Hussein was a threat. He authorized -- hevoted to authorize the use of force. Before the Commander-in-Chief commits troops into harm's way, wemust try all options in order to solve the threat. And that's why Iwent to the United Nations. I was hoping that diplomacy would work.The United Nations looked at the same intelligence we looked at, theyremembered the same history we remembered, and they came to theconclusion that Saddam Hussein must disclose, disarm, or face seriousconsequences. (Applause.) So the world spoke with a 15-to-nothing votein the Security Council. But Saddam Hussein wasn't interested in whatthe world had to say. He hadn't been interested over the past decade,and he certainly wasn't interested now. He ignored the demands of thefree world. As a matter of fact, when the U.N. decided to sendinspectors into the country, he systematically deceived them. In otherwords, he wasn't about to comply. So I had a choice to make at this point in time: Do I take theword of a madman, forget the lessons of September the 11th, or takeaction to defend America? Given that -- given that choice, I willdefend America every time. (Applause.) AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA! THE PRESIDENT: Because we acted -- because we acted to defendourselves, 50 million people now live in freedom. (Applause.) Becausewe upheld doctrine, because the most solemn duty of government is todefend the security of the people of this country, 50 million peoplenow in Afghanistan and Iraq are free. Think about Afghanistan for aminute. Think about Afghanistan for a minute. This is a country, notall that long ago, where young girls weren't allowed to go to school,and their mothers were taken into the public square and whipped if theydidn't toe the line of the Taliban. The Taliban was backward andbarbaric in their vision. They're the opposite of what we stand for inAmerica. They didn't believe in religious freedom, they didn't believein political freedom, they didn't believe in freedom. Today, over 10million Afghan men and women -- 10 million citizens, over 40 percent ofwhom are women, have registered to vote for the upcoming presidentialelection. (Applause.) It's amazing. Freedom is powerful, isn't it? (Applause.) In Iraq, it's stilltough there. But Iraq now has a strong Prime Minister, a nationalcouncil, and national elections will be held in January. (Applause.) The world is changing. Our nation is standing with the people ofthose countries, because when America gives it's word, it must keepit's word. (Applause.) We're standing with those people in thecountry -- in those countries, and as we do so, we're serving ahistoric cause that will make our country safer and make the world morepeaceful, something we all want. See, free societies in the MiddleEast will be hopeful societies which no longer feed resentments andbreed violence for export. A free Iraq and a free Afghanistan willserve as a powerful example for those who long for freedom in a part ofthe world that is desperate for freedom. (Applause.) So our mission in Afghanistan and Iraq is clear. We'll help thenew leaders. We'll help them head down the road to democracy. We'llhelp them hold elections. More importantly, we'll train Afghan andIraqi citizens for police and their armies so they can do the hard workof defending their countries -- their fellow countrymen from thedesigns and demands of a few terrorists. We'll help them provide --we'll provide those countries with stability as quickly as we can getthe job done. And then our troops will return home with the honor theyhave earned. (Applause.) I'm proud of our military. We've got a great United Statesmilitary. (Applause.) I've had the privilege of meeting with thosewho wear the nation's uniform. I've met them all across bases here inAmerica and around the world. I'm telling you, I've seen theirunselfish courage, their great decency. I appreciate the veterans whoare here today who have set such a great example for those who wear theuniform today. (Applause.) I appreciate the military families who arehere today. (Applause.) I made a commitment to those who wear the uniform and theirfamilies that they will have the resources they need to complete theirmissions. So I went to the Congress a year ago and proposedsupplemental funding of $87 billion. It's really important fundingbecause it provided body armor, spare parts, ammunition, fuel, suppliesneeded by our troops who were in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iappreciate Senator Miller's strong support for that funding request.(Applause.) We received strong bipartisan support. The support was sostrong that only 12 members of the United States Senate voted againstthis important funding -- two of whom were my opponent and his runningmate. AUDIENCE: Booo! THE PRESIDENT: In fact, only four United States senators voted toauthorize the use of force, and then voted against funding our troops-- two of those senators were my opponent and his running mate. Theyasked him to explain his vote. It was right here in Huntington, WestVirginia where he said, I voted for the $87 billion right before Ivoted against it. Right here in Huntington. They kept pressing himafter that, and he said, well, he was proud of his vote. And finallyhe just said the whole thing was a complicated matter. (Laughter.)There's nothing complicated about supporting our troops in combat.(Applause.) When it comes to Iraq, my opponent has more different positionsthan all his colleagues in the Senate combined. (Laughter.) SenatorKerry once said, "It would be naive to the point of grave danger not tobelieve that, left to his own devises, Saddam Hussein will provoke,misjudge or stumble into a future of more dangerous confrontation withthe civilized world." End quote. In 2002, he voted for the war. Butthen he voted against body armor and combat pay for our troops. Whenthe heat got on in the Democrat primary, he declared himself theanti-war candidate. Then several months later, he said he would havestill voted to go to war, even knowing everything we know today.Earlier this week, he adopted the language of his one-time rival,Howard Dean, saying it's the wrong war at the wrong time -- even thoughhe, earlier, said it was the right decision and he supported it. The newest wrinkle is that Senator Kerry has now decided we arespending too much money in Iraq, even though he criticized us earlierfor not spending enough. One thing about Senator Kerry's position isclear: If he had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power andwould still be a threat to the security and to the world. (Applause.) In our next four years, we'll continue to work with our friends andallies to make us more secure and to make them more secure, and to makethe world more peaceful. We put together a broad coalition, about 40nations in Afghanistan, and some 30 in Iraq. But I'll assure youthis: I will never turn over America's national security decisions toleaders of other countries. (Applause.) I believe in the transformational power of liberty. The wisest useof American strength is to advance freedom. I spent time with PrimeMinister Koizumi. He's the Prime Minister of Japan. You know, I washaving dinner with him one evening, and it dawned on me how remarkableit is that an American President could be talking about workingtogether to make the world a better place. After all, it wasn't allthat long ago in the march of history that we were at war with Japan.They were our sworn enemy. My dad, I'm sure your dads and grandads,fought against the Japanese. And yet, right after World War II, afterwe were victorious, Harry Truman and other Americans never abandonedthis notion that freedom could change societies. And they stood theline. There was a lot of skeptics in those days. I can understandwhy. We were just at war with them. You can imagine why a lot ofAmerican people said, why are we wasting our time? Why do we care? Well, people did care. See, they cared because they had a visionof the future. And because they worked to help Japan become ademocracy, today Japan is an ally. Prime Minister Koizumi and I sitaround the table talking about the peace. We're talking about usingour influence to make the world a better place, not only for the peoplein our own country, but for people around the world. We talk aboutpeace in North Korea. We talk about peace in Iraq. We talk aboutfeeding the hungry. (Applause.) Liberty -- liberty can change countries from enemies to friend.Someday, an American President will be sitting down with a duly-electedleader of Iraq, and they're going to be talking about the peace.They'll be talking about a better world. See, liberty has got thechance to make this world a more peaceful place. I believe thatmillions in the Middle East plead in silence for their liberty. Ibelieve that if given the chance, they will embrace the most honorableform of government ever devised by man. And I believe these things notbecause freedom is America's gift to the world, but because freedom isthe Almighty God's gift to each man and woman in this world.(Applause.) This young century will be liberty's century. By promoting freedomhere at home and freedom abroad, we'll build a safer world and a morehopeful America. By reforming systems of government, we will free moreAmericans to be able to realize their dreams. We'll spread ownershipand opportunity to every corner of this country. We'll pass theenduring values of our country to a new generation. We will continueto lead the world to become more free and more peaceful. You know, for all Americans, these years in our history will standapart. There are quiet times in the life of a nation when little isexpected of its leaders. This isn't one of those times. This is atime -- this is a time when we need firm resolve, clear vision, and adeep faith in the values that make this a great nation. (Applause.) None of us will ever forget that week when one era ended andanother began. I met a fellow behind the stage here who was at GroundZero the same day I was at Ground Zero. He was there to save lives; Iwas there to thank people for saving lives -- so on September the 14th,2001, that -- both of us were in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's aday I will never forget. I told him that. I said, it's a day thatI'll never forget. There were workers in hard hats yelling at me atthe top of their lungs, "Whatever it takes." I tried to do my best tocomfort those who had been in the rubble. A fellow looked me right inthe eye and said, "Do not let me down." I wake up -- (applause) -- Iwake up every morning, every morning, thinking about how to betterprotect our country. I will never relent in defending America,whatever it takes. (Applause.) Four years ago, when I traveled our great country asking for thevote, I made a pledge to my fellow Americans that if you gave me achance to serve, I would uphold the honor and the dignity of the officeto which I had been elected. With your help, with your hard work, Iwill do so for four more years. God bless. Thank you for coming. (Applause.) END 11:40 A.M.
