President Bush Welcomes Unanimous UN Vote on Iraq
Statement by the President
United Nations Security Council Resolution on Iraq
I welcome today's unanimous passage of United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1511. The world has an opportunity -- and a
responsibility -- to help the Iraqi people build a nation that is
stable, secure, and free. This resolution will help marshal even more
international support for the development of a new, democratic Iraq. I
look forward to continuing to work with the United Nations to aid the
transition in Iraq to self-government and help the Iraqi people rebuild
their nation.
