In war and in peace, in prosperity and times of economic hardship, America has no better friend or more dependable ally than the United Kingdom.
Israel is our strongest, most reliable ally in the Middle East. Of course, we're their most reliable ally, too.
The Chinese, our allies, have been allies with North Korea.
We've supported the U.S. every step of the way. The Philippines was the first government in Asia after September 11, in fact, the night of September 11; it was nighttime for us then. It was daytime here. We were the first government in Asia to come out and say that we're supporting the U.S.
