Statement from the President

Good Evening,

Tragedy has struck the world this week, with the devastating earthquake and tsunami that has deeply wounded the nation of Japan. My heart goes out to the victims in Japan, and the people of Japan will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. To the Japanese government, let me be clear: Atlasia is prepared to provide Japan with some of the necessary relief to fully recover. We pledge our full support and solidarity with the people of Japan and all others affected by this awful tragedy.

In times of need, Atlasia has stepped up as a humanitarian power in the world, and I expect that to continue with this terrible tragedy. When the Haitians were faced with a terrifying earthquake, I led efforts as an Atlasian Senator to provide quick and efficient relief to Haiti. I hope Atlasia acts with that same response this time around as well.

In regards to Libya, I wholeheartedly support the decision by the United Nations to play a no-fly zone over Libya. I hope the Senate will soon be passing legislation allowing Atlasia to contribute to implementing the no-fly zone. The Atlasian government is dedicated to making sure the Libyan government is held accountable for the violent actions it is taking against her citizens. Everything is currently on the table.

I applaud the leadership of Secretary Benconstine in his efforts to find a resolution with the Chinese government. I can assure the Atlasian people that this administration is hard at work to find a solution acceptable to both the Chinese and Atlasian governments.

Thank you all.

Statement from the President

Good Evening,

Tonight, I am here to update the Atlasian people on the current situation in Libya, what we plan to do, and how this will affect our future. I’d like to begin this address by thanking the men and women currently serving our nation overseas.  It is our military we must thank for preserving our many freedoms and rights as an Atlasian citizen.  Atlasia has always played a role in achieving global security and advocating for human rights.  Because of our commitment to making this world a better place, there is a cost involved, both financially and sadly in lives.  In situations like the one currently ongoing in Libya, our values of democracy and our interests are at stake, and it is our duty to act.  For too long Colonel Gaddafi has been allowed to violate the sacred obligation a ruler has to his citizens; at long last, the people of Libya have risen up against Gaddafi, and reasserted their natural rights.

In the face of opposition, Colonel Qaddafi and the Libyan government have taken the cowardly approach: they have started to conduct a military campaign against the people of Libya.  It is important that we stop the killing of so many innocent lives, and Atlasia is ready to do its part in assisting the rebels and ending the killings.  We will be deploying CIA and other intelligence agents within the rebel forces to both train and advise them.  In addition, Colonel Gaddafi and top government and military leaders will now be considered bombing targets.

Many of our allies have joined in this quest to defend the brave people of Libyan, and I thank them for their commitment to this cause.  Their commitment shows the rightness of our cause; it shows the legitimacy of our action.

I understand the concerns of those questioning our action.  Why should Atlasia be a “police” for the entire world?  That is not the issue – the issue now is whether or not to help the Libyan people overthrow and oppressive dictator, and allow them the right to self-determination.  Do not misconstrue this initial action for a long term military commitment.  It is our goal to stop Colonel Gaddafi without putting Atlasian troops on the ground, and I am confident we will be successful in this mission.

For centuries, now, Atlasia has been a beacon of hope in the world and the leading voice for democracy and human rights.  It is vital to our future that we maintain that record.  If we continue to sit back and do nothing, we will be letting down not only the people of Libya, but our Allies, and our own basic principles.

I thank you all for your attention.  Dave Bless you all, and Good Night.

Your resignation has been accepted. This is certainly disappointing, but I wish you the best in future endeavors, both in-game and in real life.

The position of Secretary of Internal Affairs is now vacant. Anyone interested in the position of SoIA is asked to contact myself or Dallasfan as soon as possible.

[tmthforu94]

Just abolish that useless position already.

It isn't as useless as it used to be, now that the SoIA has power to create stories on the regional level. It's a gig I'd personally like, if not for the fact I'm President.

Statement From the President

Yesterday evening, we learned that three Atlasians, James Haverbrook, Michelle Brock, and Harold Katenbaum were killed by the forces of Colonel Gaddafi. My heart goes out to the family of the victims. These Atlasians died for their country, and for an honorable cause, and I am extremely saddened by their deaths. My prayers go out as well to the remaining Atlasians who were injured in this attack.

We began this operation to aide the people of Libya not too long ago, and I remain confident we will remain successful in our quest to restore democracy and fight oppression in this region.

Dave Bless you all.

[tmthforu94]

Statement From the President

Good Afternoon,

I'm pleased to report to the Atlasian people that after months of negotiations, a deal has been reached with the Chinese government, ending all threats from the Chinese government to stop financing our debt. When I was elected as President, I pledged to get this crisis solved, and we have been able to successfully avert an economical catastrophe, as the Chinese government has accepted our offer.

I want to offer my sincere appreciation to the Chinese government with their cooperation in this matter, and I look forward to working with the Chinese many more times in the future.

Thank you, and Dave Bless.

Mr. President,

Not an enthusiastic signing, though, and I seriously considered vetoeing it. I don't see this act being extremely successful, but it's a step up from what we have now.

Statement From the President

Good Evening,

Today, we recieved reports that one of the main leaders of Al Qaeda has been captured.  First of all, I want to thank the Pakistani and Afghani security forces for working so quickly to capture him. Secondly, I wish to thank Mustafa al-Nabeel, leader of the operation, for ensuring no civilian casualties along the way.  Finally, I want to formally request that Pakistan extradite Mr. al-Zawahiri to Atlasia in order to stand trial for crimes committed on Atlasian soil. It is my prayer that Pakistan works with us to achieve this, so that the full extent of his crimes and the wrongness of his ideas be displayed for all to see and he will receive the punishment he deserves.
   
Thank You, and Dave Bless

Mr. President,

The Let’s Make This Official Because We All Thought It was Already True and Help a Couple of Other Places Act has passed and is presented to you for your signature or veto.

Sen. NC Yankee,
President Pro-Tempore

I hate vetoing this, because I think the original purpose of it was so strong. I think it's important, especially with success in the regions, that we begin a plan to phase out of Iraq within the coming months/years, as well as develop a set plan for Afghanistan.

We're going into a territory here that has barely been covered in Atlasia, oddly enough. Will certainly be a wake-up call to many Atlasians, who reckoned we were out of both places.

[tmthforu94]

Statement From the President

Good Evening,

I was saddened to hear the news this morning of tragedy in the Imperial Dominion of the South and Mideast Regions. The IDS has always been very close to my heart, and the Mideast Region is my home. My heart now goes out to the victims of the tornadoes that struck through the regions yesterday evening. This weekend, I will personally be visiting the IDS and Mideast, assessing the damage and meeting with victims.

The Atlasian Government is prepared to help the both regional governments with relief in any way we can. I hereby order FEMA to the devastated areas to help with the catastrophe that struck the regions.

The people of the IDS and Mideast are in my thoughts and prayers, and I ask all Atlasians to join me in thinking and praying for the regions. Thank you, and Dave Bless.

[tmthforu94]

Statement From the President

Good Morning,

Hours ago, a spectacular event occurred, with the marriage of Prince William and Princess Kate. I'd like to extend my congratulations to the couple, and wish that they have many long and happy years together.

Thank you.

[tmthforu94]

Mr President

since we have determined that we are still at this moment militarily involved in Iraq and Afghanistan, will you be formulating a plan of how to proceed?

Good question, Senator, and thank you for asking.

Yes, SoEA Benconstine, myself, and Badger have been in talks about what strategy we should maintain in the regions. Lief will also be involved in discussion. I am hoping for a withdrawal to begin in Iraq in the very near future, as well as Afghanistan soon after. Once we have our decision set in stone either myself or Ben will give a speech on the issue.
