"I appreciate so very much the strong cooperation between Germany and the United States when it comes to sharing intelligence and to working together to find and arrest and bring to justice people who would do harm to our respective peoples, or anybody else in the world." -- U.S. President George W. Bush (in Mainz, February 23, 2005)

"Our cooperation, be it in the fight against international terrorism, be it against proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, be it the fight against underdevelopment or epidemics, such as HIV and AIDS, in all of those fields we stand united, and we're really fighting together." -- German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (in Mainz, February 23, 2005)
