REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT FROM THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
(San Diego, California)
-
For Immediate Release
May 1, 2003
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
FROM THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN
At Sea Off The Coast of San Diego, California
6:00 P.M. PDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham
Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our
allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud
of this accomplishment -- yet, it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your
willingness to face danger for your country and for each other, made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more
secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. (Applause.)
Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not
expect, and the world had not seen before. From distant bases or ships at sea, we sent planes and missiles that could
destroy an enemy division, or strike a single bunker. Marines and soldiers charged to Baghdad across 350 miles of hostile
ground, in one of the swiftest advances of heavy arms in history. You have shown the world the skill and the might of the
American Armed Forces.
This nation thanks all the members of our coalition who joined in a noble cause. We thank the Armed Forces of the United
Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, who shared in the hardships of war. We thank all the citizens of Iraq who welcomed our
troops and joined in the liberation of their own country. And tonight, I have a special word for Secretary Rumsfeld, for
General Franks, and for all the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States: America is grateful for a job
well done. (Applause.)
The character of our military through history -- the daring of Normandy, the fierce courage of Iwo Jima, the decency and
idealism that turned enemies into allies -- is fully present in this generation. When Iraqi civilians looked into the faces of our
servicemen and women, they saw strength and kindness and goodwill. When I look at the members of the United States
military, I see the best of our country, and I'm honored to be your Commander-in-Chief. (Applause.)
In the images of falling statues, we have witnessed the arrival of a new era. For a hundred of years of war, culminating in
the nuclear age, military technology was designed and deployed to inflict casualties on an ever-growing scale. In defeating
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, Allied forces destroyed entire cities, while enemy leaders who started the conflict were
safe until the final days. Military power was used to end a regime by breaking a nation.
Today, we have the greater power to free a nation by breaking a dangerous and aggressive regime. With new tactics and
precision weapons, we can achieve military objectives without directing violence against civilians. No device of man can
remove the tragedy from war; yet it is a great moral advance when the guilty have far more to fear from war than the
innocent. (Applause.)
1
In the images of celebrating Iraqis, we have also seen the ageless appeal of human freedom. Decades of lies and
intimidation could not make the Iraqi people love their oppressors or desire their own enslavement. Men and women in
every culture need liberty like they need food and water and air. Everywhere that freedom arrives, humanity rejoices; and
everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear. (Applause.)
We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous. We're pursuing
and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes. We've begun the search for hidden
chemical and biological weapons and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated. We're helping to rebuild
Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. And we will stand with the new leaders
of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. (Applause.)
The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work
is done. Then we will leave, and we will leave behind a free Iraq. (Applause.)
The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001 -- and still goes on. That terrible
morning, 19 evil men -- the shock troops of a hateful ideology -- gave America and the civilized world a glimpse of their
ambitions. They imagined, in the words of one terrorist, that September the 11th would be the "beginning of the end of
America." By seeking to turn our cities into killing fields, terrorists and their allies believed that they could destroy this
nation's resolve, and force our retreat from the world. They have failed. (Applause.)
In the battle of Afghanistan, we destroyed the Taliban, many terrorists, and the camps where they trained. We continue to
help the Afghan people lay roads, restore hospitals, and educate all of their children. Yet we also have dangerous work to
complete. As I speak, a Special Operations task force, led by the 82nd Airborne, is on the trail of the terrorists and those
who seek to undermine the free government of Afghanistan. America and our coalition will finish what we have begun.
(Applause.)
From Pakistan to the Philippines to the Horn of Africa, we are hunting down al Qaeda killers. Nineteen months ago, I
pledged that the terrorists would not escape the patient justice of the United States. And as of tonight, nearly one-half of al
Qaeda's senior operatives have been captured or killed. (Applause.)
The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We've removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a
source of terrorist funding. And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the
Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more. (Applause.)
In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused and deliberate and proportionate to the
offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th -- the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the
searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war
is what they got. (Applause.)
Our war against terror is proceeding according to principles that I have made clear to all: Any person involved in
committing or planning terrorist attacks against the American people becomes an enemy of this country, and a target of
American justice. (Applause.)
Any person, organization, or government that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the
innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes.
Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups and seeks or possesses weapons of mass destruction is a grave
danger to the civilized world -- and will be confronted. (Applause.)
And anyone in the world, including the Arab world, who works and sacrifices for freedom has a loyal friend in the United
States of America. (Applause.)
Our commitment to liberty is America's tradition -- declared at our founding; affirmed in Franklin Roosevelt's Four
Freedoms; asserted in the Truman Doctrine and in Ronald Reagan's challenge to an evil empire. We are committed to
freedom in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and in a peaceful Palestine. The advance of freedom is the surest strategy to undermine
the appeal of terror in the world. Where freedom takes hold, hatred gives way to hope. When freedom takes hold, men
and women turn to the peaceful pursuit of a better life. American values and American interests lead in the same direction:
We stand for human liberty. (Applause.)
2
The United States upholds these principles of security and freedom in many ways -- with all the tools of diplomacy, law
enforcement, intelligence, and finance. We're working with a broad coalition of nations that understand the threat and our
shared responsibility to meet it. The use of force has been -- and remains -- our last resort. Yet all can know, friend and
foe alike, that our nation has a mission: We will answer threats to our security, and we will defend the peace. (Applause.)
Our mission continues. Al Qaeda is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in
many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly
weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken
unprecedented measures to defend the homeland. And we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.
(Applause.)
The war on terror is not over; yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of
the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free
nations will press on to victory. (Applause.)
Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle,
want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. (Applause.) After service in the Afghan -- and
Iraqi theaters of war -- after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history, you are homeward bound.
(Applause.) Some of you will see new family members for the first time -- 150 babies were born while their fathers were on
the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. (Applause.)
We are mindful, as well, that some good men and women are not making the journey home. One of those who fell,
Corporal Jason Mileo, spoke to his parents five days before his death. Jason's father said, "He called us from the center of
Baghdad, not to brag, but to tell us he loved us. Our son was a soldier."
Every name, every life is a loss to our military, to our nation, and to the loved ones who grieve. There's no homecoming for
these families. Yet we pray, in God's time, their reunion will come.
Those we lost were last seen on duty. Their final act on this Earth was to fight a great evil and bring liberty to others. All of
you -- all in this generation of our military -- have taken up the highest calling of history. You're defending your country, and
protecting the innocent from harm. And wherever you go, you carry a message of hope -- a message that is ancient and
ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "To the captives, 'come out,' -- and to those in darkness, 'be free."
Thank you for serving our country and our cause. May God bless you all, and may God continue to bless America.
(Applause.)

your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theatres of war - after 100
thousand miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history - you are
homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time - 150
babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of
you, and your Nation will welcome you.
We are mindful as well that some good men and women are not making the
journey home. One of those who fell, Corporal Jason Mileo, spoke to his parents five
days before his death. Jason's father said, "He called us from the center of Baghdad,
not to brag, but to tell us he loved us. Our son was a soldier." Every name, every life,
is a loss to our military, to our Nation, and to loved ones who grieve. There is no
homecoming for these families. Yet we pray, in God's time, their reunion will come.
Those we lost were last seen on duty. Their final act on this earth was to fight a
great evil, and bring liberty to others. All of you - all in this generation of our military -
have taken up the highest calling of history. You are defending your country, and
protecting the innocent from harm. And wherever you go, you carry a message of
hope - a message that is ancient, and ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah:
"To the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free."
Thank you for serving our country and our cause. God bless you all, and may
God bless America.

SCHEDULE PROPOSAL

TO:
Bradley A. Blakeman
Deputy Assistant to the President
For Appointments and Scheduling
FROM:
Karl Rove
Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor
Condoleezza Rice
Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor
REQUEST:
Tour of the USS Abraham Lincoln, Remarks to the crew, and Lunch
with Sailors
PURPOSE:
To welcome the crew of the USS Carrier Abraham Lincoln back to
United States.
BACKGROUND:
The USS Abraham Lincoln will be arriving in San Diego on May 3,
and will depart on May 4 for its home port in Everett, Washington.
The USS Abraham Lincoln was ordered home on April 9, 2003, after
nearly nine months of deployment (longest time at sea of any carrier
since 1973). The USS Abraham Lincoln was relieved in the Persian
Gulf by the USS Nimitz, and is scheduled for an 11-month maintenance
period in Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, beginning in June 2003.
In July 2002, the USS Abraham Lincoln departed on its scheduled
six month deployment to support Operations Enduring Freedom
(OEF) and Southern Watch (OSW), in the Arabian Gulf. However,
on January 1, 2003, shortly after leaving a port call in Perth,
Australia, the carrier was ordered to the Persian Gulf on its way
home to Everett, Washington. The USS Abraham Lincoln led the
Navy's air attacks in the opening days of the "shock and awe"
campaign during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
The USS Abraham Lincoln is America's fifth Nimitz-class nuclear
powered aircraft carrier, and the second naval vessel to bear
Lincoln's name. The ship's keel was laid on November 3, 1984, at
Newport News, Virginia. It was commissioned on November 11,
1989, at Norfolk Virginia. Commanding Officer Captain Kendall
Card took command in November 2002. The aircraft carrier is home
to a crew of nearly 5,500.
