isis iraq territory
Then when [ISIS] moved into Iraq, the Sunni Muslims didn’t object to their being there and about a third of the territory in Iraq was abandoned.
voice america president
It's clear that the true problems of our Nation are much deeper - deeper than gasoline lines of energy shortages, deeper even than inflation or recession. And I realize more than ever that as President I need your help. So, I decided to reach out and listen to the voices of America.
memories never-quit wonderful
A joyous occasion is never quite as wonderful as when it becomes a memory.
god faith hope
Faith implies a continuing search, not necessarily a final answer.
community borders neighbor
Whether the borders that divide us are picket fences or national boundaries, we are all neighbors in a global community.
jobs labor-force salary
I first came into the labor force in 1941 when the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour, and that was my first job. And each time that we've tried to boost the lower level of salary for the most underpaid workers, there have been predictions of catastrophe.

mean land yugoslavia
The decision to attack the entire nation [of Yugoslavia] has been counterproductive, and our destruction of civilian life has now become senseless and excessively brutal. ... The United States' insistence on the use of cluster bombs, designed to kill or maim humans, is condemned almost universally and brings discredit on our nation (as does our refusal to support a ban on land mines). Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.
long environmental care
Americans long thought that nature could take care of itself-or that if it did not, the consequences were someone else's problem. As we know now, that assumption was wrong; none of us is a stranger to environmental problems.
powerful health doctors
The oil lobby, perhaps the most powerful lobby on earth, is almost matched by hospital owners and doctors.
