our enduring interests in the region demand our enduring presence in the region. the united states is a pacific power, and we are here to stay. indeed, we are already modernizing america's defense posture across the asia pacific. it will be more broadly distributed -- maintaining our strong presence in japan and the korean peninsula, while enhancing our presence in southeast asia. our posture will be more flexible -- with new capabilities to ensure that our forces can operate freely. and our posture will be more sustainable, by helping allies and partners build their capacity, with more training and exercises. we see our new posture here in australia. the initiatives that the prime minister and i announced yesterday will bring our two militaries even closer together. we'll have new opportunities to train with other allies and partners, from the pacific to the indian ocean. and it will allow us to respond faster to the full range of challenges, including humanitarian crises and disaster relief. since world war ii, australians have warmly welcomed american service m

this is a growing region. it is a vital region. the united states is going to be a huge participant in both economic and security issues in the asia pacific region. and our override iing desire is that we have a clear set of principles that all of us can abide by so all of us can succeed. and i think it's going to be important for china to be a part of that. i think it's good for us. but it's going to require china, just like all the rest of us to align our existing policies and what we've done in the past with what's needed for a brighter future. all right? >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much, everybody. >> thank you. >> welcome back, everyone, if you're just tuning in, the president and prime minister just announced this new agreement to expand the u.s. military presence in australia. they outlined the plan, in which 250 military personnel, that would be u.s. marines and air force would be deployed there by the middle of 2012, and then it would grow to a full force of about 2,500 military personnel down the line. now,

and its allies are creating an explosive situation in the volatile region. but whether or not it's a big issue for washington it should be a big issue for the rest of us this is after all pakistan is after all a nuclear state the region is unstable the border with afghanistan is huge the constant pretext for drone attacks within saudi pakistani territory we know that the us military with regard and in the prefer to the whole area is asking if it's one single plate if the puppet regime and it is a puppet regime in afghanistan is so horrified by the attack on pakistan that it is saying that it will back pakistan against the countries that are occupying. so i think you can see quite how far this is no of this is no run so i think this is a very very dangerous moment i think what the united states and its allies nato allies have done is an extremely dangerous incursion i'm not surprised at the anger of the pakistani of the pakistani people and i think the message should go very very clearly the united states and its allies you are playing with fire you are riski

just as the version is getting increasingly isolated, iran is isolated in the region for the regional balance of power is tipping against iran. there are those who disagree with that assessment. iran has failed and its effort to shape iraq into its own image. they are moving in the opposite direction. i saw your testimony in the house last week. i am reading your testimony. iran and iraq have done -- very different futures. iraqis are moving in the opposite direction of any client state that iran may be trying to establish their. they are building a sovereign democratic state. one recent poll found that just 14% of iraqis have a favorable opinion of iran. here is really a nationalist dynamic at work here. even the supporters al sadr who has been supported by iran are in disagreement by a margin of 3-1. even as we remove our forces from iraq, we remained steadfastly committed to a long- term strategic partnership including robust security cooperation which will help insure that iraq remains a strong independent player. we will underscore the breadth and depth of the relationship with i

israelis and palestinians are not immune to the profound changes sweeping the region. make no mistake, president obama and i believe that the palestinian people, just like their arab neighbors, just like israelis, just like us, deserve dignity, liberty, and the right to decide their own future. they deserve an independent, democratic palestinian state of their own alongside a secure jewish democracy next door. we know from decades in the diplomatic trenches that the only way to get there is three negotiated peace. a piece we worked every day to achieve despite all the setbacks. we understand israel faces risks in a changing region. just as it did before the arab spring began. it will remain an american priority to ensure that all parties honor the peace treaties that have signed and commitments to have made it. we will always help israel defend itself. we will address threats to regional peace whether they come from dictatorship toward democracy's. it will be shortsighted to see that either side can put peacemaking on hold until the current upheaval is done. the trick
