the army was a latecomer to the pacific war. you recall the army's traditional focus on the mainland. in the pacific war, the army is interested in the initial operations to take southeast asia. they called it the southern operation and it is to take over what they called the southern resources area. in the framework of the pacific war, the army is interested in great britain. great britain is their primary enemy in the pacific war. their primary objective after the pacific war begins in 1941 is to finish the war in china. asia,occupying southeast the army is interested in getting back to their war in china. as far as the pacific war is concerned, they are more interested in fighting the british rather than the americans. they are thinking of chasing the british -- they have pushed them out of singapore and they are thinking of pushing them out of burma and possibly india. as for the americans and the pacific ocean, this is putting it simply but it is the navy's problem. even after december 1841. 1941.ember when the pacific war b

so eloquently from john, 20-year-old lieutenant george bush was preparing to attack japanese in the pacific. he was part of a courageous generation of young americans who led the charge against overwhelming odds and the historic battle of supremacy in the pacific against the colossal military might of imperial japan. that is what george bush did the summer he turned 20. many men of different talents and skills have served as president and many more will do so as a decades unfold. bringing strength and glory to these united states of america. 50 or hundred years some now as historians review the accomplishments and context of all who have served as president, i believe it will be said that the life of this country, the united states which is in my judgment, the greatest democratic republic may god has ever placed on the face of this earth. i believe it will be said that no occupant of the oval office was more courageous, more principled, and more honorable than george herbert walker bush. george bush was a man of high accomplishment. he had a delightful sense of humor. he was a lot of fun. a

resolution rightly focuses on a critical threat facing the pacific island and the united states which is climate change. in september of this year, pacific island leaders reaffirmed in a joint declaration that climate change, and i quote, remains the single greatest threat to the livelihood, security, and well being of the peoples of the pacific. i wish that the president and the administration would act on that threat but instead the united states refuses to acknowledge climate change at recent international conferences. the refusal to acknowledge established scientific fact is really wrong and dangerous. our country has a critical role to play in the effort to address climate change and when we abdicate that responsibility, we endanger future generations and the region's most -- and the regions most at risk like the pacific islands. this is a good resolution. affirming america's commitment to advance self-government, economic development and self-sufficiency for all the people in this strategically important region. it's important to note that this resolution expresses our continued
