WRAP US President Bush meets Italian President Ciampi

(15 Nov 2003) 1. US President Geroge W. Bush and Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi in the Oval Office 2. Ciampi 3. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: "I instructed Ambassador Bremer to take... to go back to Iraq with the instructions that we will work with the Governing Council to speed up the political process in a rational way. That's what he's going to do on the belief that we've made a lot of progress on the ground, that the Governing Council is better prepared to take more responsibility. In terms of security, we will do whatever it takes to help Iraq develop into a free and peaceful country. That is our goal. And we will stay there until the job is done. And then we'll leave." 4. Reporters 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: "The enemy has changed tactics on the ground, and so we're changing our response. And that's what you're beginning to see now - the discussions with General Abizaid, and the discussions with Bremer, and all the different pieces of evidence to that effect, are really saying that as the enemy changes, so will we. And we'll bring them to justice, and Iraq will be more secure, and Iraq is going to be free. And that's in the nation's interest that it be so." 6. Italian cameramen and press corps 7. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: "It's very important that our commanders on the ground be given flexibility to be able to adjust tactics to an enemy that is changing its tactics. First of all, the enemy wants to create the condition of fear. They want people to fear them. They will lose that aspect of the battle because we... our will will remain strong." 8. Bush and Ciampi 9. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: "We will stay until the job is done. And the job is for Iraq to be free and peaceful. A free and peaceful Iraq will have historic consequences. And we'll find Saddam Hussein. The goal is for a free and peaceful Iraq. And by being strong and determined, we will achieve that objective." 10. Media 11. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, Italian President: "As it happens even among friends, there have been problems between us on specific aspects of transatlantic cooperation. We are committed, especially us Italians, to put them fully behind us, for they do not stand and cannot stand for the solidarity between Europe and the United States. Upholding Atlantic cohesion is a duty and a necessity." 12. Bush and Ciampi in Oval Office STORYLINE: The US-led coalition is trying to speed the transfer of political power to the Iraqi people, but American peacekeeping troops will remain in Iraq "until the job is done," President George W. Bush said on Friday. "In terms of security, we will do whatever it takes," Bush said after an Oval Office meeting with Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. "We will stay there until the job is done and then we will leave. And the job is for Iraq to be free and peaceful." Bush said it is appropriate to give Iraqis control more quickly. "We will work with the Governing Council to speed up the political process in a rational way, in the belief that we've made a lot of progress on the ground and that the Governing Council is better prepared to take more responsibility," he said. He also defended the US strategy for fighting back against the increasingly deadly insurgency in Iraq. "The enemy is changing tactics on the ground so we're changing our response and that's what you're beginning to see," he said.
