00:03.849 --> 00:06.800
The B two spirit stealth bomber for 30

00:06.809 --> 00:09.289
years has been our nation's invisible

00:09.300 --> 00:12.399
sword and visible shield . A key

00:12.409 --> 00:16.250
component of our nuclear triad able to

00:16.260 --> 00:18.530
deliver global strength capabilities

00:18.540 --> 00:20.809
anytime anywhere .

00:23.479 --> 00:26.340
When the B two made its debut , the

00:26.350 --> 00:29.090
world was embroiled in a different kind

00:29.100 --> 00:32.340
of war one that required a different

00:32.349 --> 00:34.659
kind of weapon . One that could go

00:34.669 --> 00:37.099
anywhere in the world slip past the

00:37.110 --> 00:40.060
strongest defenses and strike with

00:40.069 --> 00:43.939
devastating power . A weapon that could

00:43.950 --> 00:46.830
force adversaries to rethink their

00:46.840 --> 00:47.689
strategy .

00:50.909 --> 00:53.131
President Gorbachev and I are issuing a

00:53.131 --> 00:55.759
joint statement recording major agreed

00:55.770 --> 00:57.650
provisions of a strategic arms

00:57.659 --> 01:00.479
reduction treaty as well as a joint

01:00.490 --> 01:02.959
statement in which we agree to future

01:02.970 --> 01:05.519
negotiations on nuclear and space arms

01:05.529 --> 01:08.040
designed to enhance stability and

01:08.050 --> 01:11.459
reduce the risk of war . The B two

01:11.470 --> 01:14.800
was that weapon ? A first of its kind

01:14.809 --> 01:17.069
stealth bomber that could reassure our

01:17.080 --> 01:20.089
allies and strike fear into the hearts

01:20.099 --> 01:22.099
of any who would threaten peace and

01:22.099 --> 01:26.000
stability around the world . Today .

01:26.010 --> 01:28.290
Our armed forces joined our NATO allies

01:28.300 --> 01:30.620
in air strikes against Serbian forces

01:30.639 --> 01:32.972
responsible for the brutality in Kosovo .

01:34.559 --> 01:37.069
On my orders , coalition forces have

01:37.080 --> 01:39.024
begun striking selected targets of

01:39.024 --> 01:41.879
military importance . The United States

01:41.889 --> 01:44.989
military has begun strikes against Al

01:45.000 --> 01:47.260
Qaeda terrorist training camps and

01:47.269 --> 01:49.380
military installations of the Taliban

01:49.380 --> 01:50.713
regime in Afghanistan .

01:53.339 --> 01:56.730
Now , as the world enters a new era of

01:56.739 --> 02:00.360
major power competition , the B two is

02:00.370 --> 02:03.519
more relevant than ever before its

02:03.529 --> 02:07.000
ability to assure and deter

02:07.360 --> 02:10.919
is unrivaled by any nation in the world .

02:13.020 --> 02:16.820
Our airmen , our mission partners

02:17.589 --> 02:21.479
and our community make up the backbone

02:21.490 --> 02:25.050
of 30 years of unparalleled air

02:25.059 --> 02:25.639
power ,

02:29.500 --> 02:32.419
the B two spirit and team white men .

02:32.490 --> 02:36.240
30 years of readiness , 30 years of

02:36.250 --> 02:40.039
excellence , 30 years of global strike

02:40.050 --> 02:42.679
any time anywhere .
